For fall I am adding texture, natural materials, and rustic details. My goal is a rustic coastal home with lots of tans, textures, and browns. I wanted my heron printable from the classic book, Birds of Australia, on the dining room picture ledge. I put it in a new aged white frame and added a shabby chic dollar store pumpkin on each end. I made those a few years ago. I measured a length of jute against it for size and adjusted the length.
I wanted lots of texture and added some dried dollar store moss, a few sticks, and finally a couple of corks.
For the garland, I made a few ornaments using Christmas oranment hangers, shells and wood circles. I glued 2 wooden circle together with a metal hanger in between.
I glued a wooden circle to the back of shells with a hanger between the 2. I attached the large shell directly to the ledge as its weight would be too much for the garland. I hung the rest on the jute cord.
I made a few adjustments in the elements on the ledge and was satisfied. I’m very happy with my coastal picture ledge for fall. I have a few more items to add to the dining room and my decor will be complete. I’ll try to share both rooms next week. Happy Fall Y’all!

Beautifully done. I love the neutral print. TFS
thanks Clearissa – have a wonderful day!
Love your autumn shelf! It’s very pretty and you’re talented making new things all the time. 🙂
thanks – trying to find new ways to decorate it is fun. Adding the picture ledge was one of my smartest decorating moves. Hope you have a great day!
I love this, Carol. It says fall, it says your environment (sea). I love the colors, the simplicity. The moss is great and I’m going to remember that for my arrangements. Splendid.
Your words are so kind – thank you Jeanie. It was fun and easy to do.
I think I like the Fall Harvest type decorating pretty much as well as Christmas. Love your idea for the picture ledge. So clever. Great picture and frame. Thanks for visiting me so I could come visit you. Happy weekend.
Thanks for visiting me. I too love autumn decor with all the texture and rustic feels. Happy Friday!
I love your fall picture ledge Carol. Very creative. I’ve really enjoyed making autumn/fall crafts the past few days. Fabric pumpkins are taking over our home!
Have a lovely Sunday. x
hope you took photos of your fall crafts and fabric pumpkins – have a great week!
What a nice display. It goes perfectly with the print!
I love fall projects. This one is so pretty!
