Fall Dining Room

I am the worst!  It has been a few months since my last blog post as we have been quite busy.  Rob started his new job in June and I decided to follow suite and applied for a new job too.  After applying, interviewing, and receiving a job offer, I am excited to say that I am now working in HR for a company that I truly believe in!  That being said, I have been focused on learning the in's and out's of my new job and the blog and decorating the house fell to the back burner.  But I'm back!  We have started to work on a few updates here and will be excited to celebrate the upcoming holidays for the first time as home owners and newlyweds!  Many updates on the blog to come but check out what we have been up to!

So, this may be a few days late but I wanted to show you our Halloween dining room!  Although there is only one element tied to Halloween so we will keep this as our Fall/Thanksgiving setup until the Christmas decor comes out.  

We kept the dining room table pretty simple.  I'm still not ready to commit to a tablecloth because I don't want to cover the wood detail of the table. 

I found these beautiful gold accented candle holders and just added a few fake pumpkins to accent.  I originally had real pumpkins on there but was afraid they would stain the table.  I can just store and use these pumpkins for years to come! 

The buffet is one of my favorite things to decorate!

I'm so happy we purchased the glass cloches since they can be updated for any season.  Again, I had real pumpkins in there but the glass started to fog up - eek!  So I replaced with a fake pumpkin and a candle.  I had an 8x10 canvas so just took some gray paint and wrote 'Trick or Treat'.

The feathers in the growler were a last minute add on.  They were part of a birthday bouquet I received and I just plucked them out and threw them in as an accent!

I love our fall tablescape but I'm pretty excited to get Christmas decor going!  I usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving to start but we celebrated Christmas in temp housing last year so I feel like we can make up for it by starting early this year!  How early is too early?  When do you plan to start Christmas decorating?
