Today will be my last post before the wedding, so I'm going to take a detour and actually share some Fall around the farmhouse. I took most of these pictures before the wedding stuff invaded the house.😊

Remember the kitchen towels and placemats I found? Here they are made up into pillows. The fox and squirrel make me smile:
And the Sunflower ones turned out beautifully! Sunflowers say "Fall" to me! So cheerful too.
I found this metal shelf at the thrift store - it was $2.99. You bet I grabbed it up. A fresh coat of paint and dark wax and it's all refreshed. Perfect for the entryway:
It's going to be fun to style for the seasons. I think I might put my old window underneath it on the table. I still need to play with the wall space around it but I like it so far.
Aren't they perfect for Fall?
More sunflowers:
On the vanity is a collection of watch faces I found. The Mickey Mouse one may be my favorite:
And the metal truck is ready to haul giant pumpkins and hay bales:
The lantern is filled with mini pumpkins and gourds:
A wire basket continues the sunflower theme with added Fall leaves:
Even the flowerbed out front got dressed for Fall with a friendly scarecrow on the toy tractor. All he needs is some mums and pumpkins!
He was quite fun to make - I found the clothes at the thrift store for cheap, I made the head and painted the face on it and stuffed him with polyfil enclosed in plastic bags. Lastly, I stuffed hay around his neck and coming out for hands and feet. Come winter, I'll replace him with my snowman.
Lastly, I need to share the progress on the studio:
The bathroom door was framed out and hung (it opens up onto the exterior wall right now but the opening will get cut when the bathroom is built). I'll probably dress the door up somehow in the future.
Then Bruce found these doors for the opening in the back. I love them! They will keep that back corner from feeling dark and dreary!
Bruce and Jay spent that weekend framing up the opening - hopefully they will be hung next week before the wedding. Then the studio will be completely dried in!
I just had to spend a day out there painting. Let me tell you, the light was fantastic!
So that's it until after the wedding. It still hasn't quite sunk in it's almost here. Really hoping for rain this week so we can have fireworks after the reception. That and a crisp Fall day the day of the wedding! Take care and I'll see you in a couple of weeks with wedding pictures!
