It’s cheery and big and you can see it from the road.. You want a closer view of our corn thresher don’t you?.

Stuck in the third grade.. Just don’t tattle on me to the teacher for saying the word “butt”!Let me just tell you, there are so many good reasons for me not to decorate my dining room at all this Fall.. -The floors look really bad next to my nice old rescued wood floors in the front hall.And that makes me a little crazy.. -The walls are still a weird turquoisy color that I just can’t really like no matter how hard I try, but there’s no point in painting until we re-drywall the whole room.

And that may not happen for… I don’t know… another five years?And that makes me a little crazy.. -I broke the office-style tile ceiling in the summer when I was trying to hang a big lantern from it so it droops, but it doesn’t really matter because the whole ceiling needs to come out, be raised up to original height and be re-done.And that makes me a little crazy..

The thing is though, it’s the first room I see when I get up in the morning and it was looking pretty sad after all the Summer decorations had been put away.So I added in a few.

hints of Fall, just to make it feel a little happier in there for now.. Oh, and this post should really be subtitled “….and then I added more burlap”, cause that was my solution to pretty much everything in here..

OK, so now you see what I mean about the burlap!.In the future, we’re going to do some built-in storage on this wall with some open shelving exposing the brick, but for now just some trim around rough edges of the door way will do the trick..

I started gathering a few supplies recently and I’m pretty excited about where this is going..I have a few different fabrics that I’m considering too for pillows and stuff like that.

I don’t know anything for sure though yet.I feel like every time I add something or change something, the whole direction and mood of the room changes and then I have to rethink everything.
