I have definitely fallen for this year’s color trend of pairing blue with orange! Isn’t the tablecloth luscious?! The design concept for this mood board is Modern Rustic with a touch of gold for elegance. Simple line and texture is combined with contrasting cool blue and warm orange. This is such a vibrant festive look for your fall or Thanksgiving table! Details for each piece of decor on the board are below… Item 1— Matisse Dinnerware 16pc set, Taupe by Gibson Elite Store You can’t have Thanksgiving dinner without dinnerware, right?! Let’s kick off this list with dinnerware set for four, including dinner plates, dessert plates, double-size dinner bowls, and cereal bowls. Dishwasher and microwave safe, this taupe stoneware is the perfect blend of simple modern form with a rustic color and texture. Item 2— 20 Piece Stainless Steel Matte Gold Cutlery Set by DEACORY This brass-dipped stainless steel gold cutlery set looks beautiful beside the taupe dinnerware. The roundness of the edges gives this cutlery a modern feel, and the matte finish tones down the gold finish, making this an excellent choice for a beautiful Modern Rustic table setting. Item 3— Autumn Table Runner with Pumpkins, 108” long by AmbeHome This clean-edged tablecloth with blue and rust-colored pumpkins would make a beautiful statement on your Thanksgiving table! The cotton linen material is soft and easy to wash. Pair this with the Matisse dinnerware set and the matte gold cutlery, and you have the beginnings of a Modern Rustic tablescape! Item 4— 12 pack Cotton Polyester Blend Hotel Grade Dinner Napkins, 18 x 18 inch by Utopia Kitchen I chose these napkins for the simple look of the fabric and solid rust-orange color. The orange brings out the rust color from the pumpkins on the table runner and creates a warm feel to each place setting. Item 5— Metal Fall Leaf Napkin Rings, Set of 8 by Pcineio Dress up your cloth napkins with these fall leaf napkin rings! Give each place setting a little autumn pizzazz with a single gold fall leaf to represent the spirit of the season. Item 6— Vintage Style Hobnail Glassware Set, 16 pieces by meekoo Store Serve your guests their favorite drinks in these vintage-style hobnail glasses! These amber-colored glasses have a modern feel with a tactile texture of smooth round hobnail details that you can’t resist picking up! Item 7— 12 inch Round Farmhouse Boho Wood Beaded Tray by HPC DEC R OUR HAPPY PLACE Store This rustic tray is a nod to the feel of the boho or Farmhouse styles while maintaining a simple, round form. The tray comes in brown or white, but I think the brown creates a nice contrast against the pumpkin table runner mentioned earlier. Item 8— Hand Glazed 9 inch Boho Farmhouse White Ceramic Vase by LiteViso Store This white ceramic vase has a nice balance of rustic weathering and clean, vertical, modern lines. The color and texture also complement the dinnerware mentioned at the beginning of this list. Place real or faux florals in this vase for the perfect fall table centerpiece! Item 9— Fall Silk Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Leaves by Sggvecsy Store The ceramic vase needs florals, so why not create a simple arrangement with these rust-colored silk eucalyptus branches? The rust color mirrors the warm oranges in the table runner and napkins, and the round silver dollar leaves feel simple and modern. Item 10— Resin Pumpkin Figurines, Set of 3 by Prsildan Create thankful vibes at your Thanksgiving dinner table with this set of three resin pumpkins! The white ceramic pumpkins each have a positive affirmation for your guests. The gold stems pick up the gold elements in the rest of the tablescape. Item 11— Speckled Mercury Gold Glass Votive Candle Holders, set of 36 by LETINE Store And speaking of gold elements—no tablescape is complete without these mercury votive candle holders! Place LED tea lights in these gold candle holders to create a warm, elegant glow for your family dinner. Item 12— Smokey Blue Glass Candle Holders, Set of 3 by Lewondr Store There are a lot of rust and orange colors listed here, so I thought I’d balance it out by ending with these blue taper candle holders. The smokey blue color complements the blue hues in the table runner and gives the tablescape a nice counterbalance to all the other warm colors. The sleek style also creates a sense of balance between the modern and the rustic elements. Related blogs you may want to read:

Inspirational ideas for creating that cozy boho style Nine hygge decor ideas Winter color palette ideas for your home decor Design concept for a dreamy coastal interior Let’s talk Bohemian In a previous blog, I showed you how to up-cycled old jack-o-lanterns using chalk and craft paint. In this blog, I will share how I transformed a few old plastic Halloween candy buckets into “new” decor for my home. Reusing and updating old decor is such a fun and budget-friendly way to create a fresh look in your home for the season without breaking the bank! I don’t know about you, but money has been extraordinarily tight this year…And my kids are all grown now, so they don’t need those old buckets anyway! Here are some supplies that you may need for this project. (Items contain affiliate links.) Three plastic pumpkin buckets Dowel rod (optional) White craft paint Sponge brush General paintbrush Paint palette Thin paintbrush Spray sealant (optional) LED candles Fairy strands Step 1 Prep your buckets by pulling off the handles and giving them a thorough clean. Step 2 (optional) Drill holes in the bottom of each bucket. Using a sharp blade, carefully cut out the eyes, nose, and mouth. Step 3 Apply the first couple coats of white paint on each pumpkin and let dry. You can opt for Mod Podge instead of craft paint if you’d like. The idea is to use something as a primer. Step 4 Using a thin brush, paint inside all the creases of the pumpkins, including the areas inside the eyes, nose, and mouth that are not black. Use the same white paint for this step or a darker color to create a sense of depth. Step 5 Add a third coat of white paint, applied heavier this time to get full coverage. Let dry. Add a final coat of paint if desired. Step 6 Clean off any paint that may have gotten in the black areas of the eyes, nose, and mouth. (If you didn’t cut them out. ) Step 7 (optional) Spray with a sealant if you will be using this decor outside. Step 8 Stack the newly painted pumpkin buckets one on top of another or attach them with a long, thin dowel rod. Light them up with LEDs or fairy strands to create a spooky glow!

I will only recommend products or services I use personally and/or believe will add value to my readers, so there is no conflict of interest. Money is tight this year, so the focus for the fall decorating season has been on up-cycling and reusing wherever possible. But, just to make my life more difficult, I also wanted to change my usual fall decor. Every year I pull out these light-up jack-o-lanterns along with the rest of my bright orange, yellow, and red fall and Halloween decor. This year, I decided I’d had enough of these bright colors! My kids are all grown, and I want more muted colors for this fall season. So, a Halloween DIY project was born! I gutted the lights of the three pumpkins and gave each one a good clean. I decided to use chalk paint and acrylic craft paint for this project, but you can use Mod Podge if that’s more to your liking. I’ve listed some supplies below that you may need for this project. (Items contain affiliate links.) Materials you’ll need: Old jack-o-lantern Chalk paint Craft paint Mod Podge Chalk paint brush Thin paint brush Foam brush Artist’s paint palette LED candle Fairy lights Step 1 Give your old jack-o-lantern a thorough wipe-down to clean off all the dust and grime. Step 2 Choose an orange shade of chalk paint (or Mod Podge) and a paintbrush. Liberally apply the first coat of paint over the surface of the pumpkin. Step 3 Allow the first coat to dry for a couple of hours, then apply a second coat of chalk paint. Allow that second coat to dry. Step 4 Use a thin brush and dark brown, red, orange, or green craft paint to lightly paint in the creases of the jack-o-lantern to give it some depth. Keep this process fluid and fun! Don’t use too much paint. Step 5 Now choose a desired shade of green and paint the pumpkin’s stem. Step 6 Allow all the paint to dry so you can handle the pumpkin. Lightly apply a third coat of chalk paint. Do not use too much paint. You just want enough coverage to lighten the creases. (Think about blending makeup and contouring. Same concept.) Steps 7 and 8 Now for the finishing touches! Apply two coats of cream, orange, or yellow paint to the inside of the mouth, nose, and eyes. And that’s it! Light up your freshly painted, up-cycled jack-o-lantern with an LED candle or fairy lights!

This week, I have started work on tutorials for drawing circular Celtic knot borders. Today’s blog post takes you through a couple of drawing tips that could be helpful for you as you follow along with these more complex Celtic design tutorials. Grab a pencil, a piece of paper, something with a straight edge, and a compass, and let’s get started! (Don’t have a compass? Use two pencils tied together with string at a length suitable for your project.) Find the midpoint of a line Draw a line and mark the endpoints. Open a compass to between 2/3 to 3/4 the length of the line. Create an arc above the line and another arc below the line. Do the same from the other endpoint of the line. Connect the points where the two sets of arcs intersect, and where the straight edge crosses the line is your midpoint. Find the midpoint of an arc Make a mark at either end of the arc for the endpoints. Open a compass to between 2/3 to 3/4 the length of the gap. Create a curved mark above the arc and another curved mark below the arc. Do the same from the other endpoint of the arc. Connect the points where the two sets of curved marks intersect. Where the straight edge crosses the arc’s line is the midpoint. Find the center of a circle Draw a circle, or find one already drawn. Draw three random lines that cross the circle’s circumference at either end. Use the technique mentioned above to find the center of the line by drawing intersecting arcs above and below the line. Draw a line connecting the intersecting arcs that continue through the circle. Follow these same steps for the other two lines. You now have three new lines intersecting in your circle's center. This is the center of the circle. And that’s it! These simple tips are helpful when constructing designs that require precision but don’t have a ruler or protractor. For those of you who are visual learners—like me—I have a YouTube video link below that will take you through these same steps. Let me know in the comments if this was helpful or if you have other useful tips to share!
