Late Summer/Early Fall Decor Ideas-Primitive Inspired Sunflowers DIY




Hi Friends,
 I'm so glad your here! Today,
 I'm so excited to share a few Sunflower that grew in my garden this season. I did let them dry,
 added then into my Late Summer Early Fall Decorating.


I did let them dry, then added a touch of yellow paint.

The seed, I kept intact so to use them later to feed bird this winter
OR  put the seed in a brine to cure, the grandkids like to help with this process and snacking on salty sunflower seed.

Late Summer/ Early Fall DIY Gourds


Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 
This last week I stopped into my local Dollar Tree store to look for Fall Florals, and found a few larger 6" gourds
Today, I'm sharing an idea using Dollar Tree faux gourds in your 'Late Summer-Early Fall' decorating.

***

I wanted a more tan color for theses gourds, so I mix sunflower yellow and moss green  acrylic paint I had in my stash to get a gourd color that I wanted.
***

What do your with the final reveal?

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! 

Today, I'm so excited to share a few Late Summer vintage touches to the 'China Hutch'.
I love using Sunflowers for a 
Late Summer vignettes
Pulled out a couple of my FireKing coffee mugs, to add a little vintage touch to my Coca-Cola collections.
***
The Gumball machine has wooden shape blocks from my school days, just the right color for Late Summer transistion.





For a little Whimsy, I added a couple of Black Crows, I've had in my Halloween Tub for many years.
another vignette of whimsy is the vintage fishing gear I used in my tackle box


I hope this gives you some inspiration and a few ideas how to style your vintage collections

Hi Friends, 
 I'm so glad your here! 
Happy LateSummer!

Today, I'm packing away the Summer Patrioctic decor and adding Late Summer/Early Fall touches to the top of the shelving unit in my entryroom. 

I like to bring in Sunflowers of all shade for this time of year.
I 've added a lot of my vintage chickens to this area, love showing them off.

Here is a closer view of some of my vintage thrifted finds

Late Summer in my cottage, gives me time to break out the apples, darker yellows, greens and shades of orange in my decorating.
still love the touches of blue for 'Late-Summer',
***
and a bit of shades of  browns. 
I hope you found some ideas how to use unexpected vintage finds along with multiple shades of Late-Summer colors in your decorating.
