2016 Fall Home Tour


Good Morning and Welcome to 21 Rosemary Lane's Fall Tour 2016! I want to start by thanking our fabulous hostess, Marty from A Stroll thru Life , for putting together this amazing Fall Home Tour series, and once again inviting my little corner of the blogoshere to be part of the big event!

This year I made a few changes, or additions, to my decor in an effort to switch things ups a bit. One of my favorite purchases this season was added to our entry in the way of a darling pumpkin pillow I nabbed from Pier One.





I also picked up a few more pillows from Home Goods to add to my living room sofas. I love the cozy plaid for the autumn season.



If you are a regular reader of 21 Rosemary Lane, you may notice a slight change to our book shelves. The stencil is gone and has been replaced with some leftover bead board from last year's kitchen project.


I finished my mantel last week, however with the addition of the new pillows and a few other items, I decided to change the accent colors by swapping out the rich orange pieces and replacing them with a cool turquoise. I think the blue color is a pretty compliment to the oranges and yellows on the mantel.




Pops of yellow and orange have been added to the kitchen.




Out on the back porch the table is set for an afternoon of al
 fresco dining. (To see my entire table setting just click here.)



After which a relaxing afternoon of chit chat can be spent in the porch's comfy sitting area. Ahhh I can just feel that cooler Canadian air in the breeze.





I hope you enjoyed today's tour of 21 Rosemary Lane. And the tours continue with the next home on the route for the day which is by Laura from the blog Decor to Adore.




Thank you so much for stopping by...I just love having the company.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!!!

Easy Wreath of Bittersweet



Since I have begun blogging and getting more and more into creating wreaths and other decorative items for our home, I have been simply amazed at the wealth of materials available to me in my own backyard. It was just last year that I discovered these pretty berries growing within our forsythias. I didn't know what they were until my friend Judy from Gold Country Cottage left a comment telling me what a "treasure trove" I was sitting on. This year I discovered bittersweet growing in multiple areas of our yard, so I decided to use it around the house to decorate for fall and to make an easy peasy rustic looking wreath with these crimson beauties.


All I needed in addition to the bittersweet (with their leaves removed) was a simple grapevine wreath, a little floral wire, scissors to cut the vine and floral wire, and a few pine cones. The fresh cut vine is very malleable so it is easy to bend. You can make it even more flexible by soaking the vine in warm, not hot, water. I started by first taking a long piece of the vine and creating a circle with it, securing the ends together with some floral wire. I then anchored it with four pieces of floral wire to the grapevine wreath. The three pine cones were attached together with another piece of wire and tied onto the wreath. Then I just poked more pieces of bittersweet into the existing wreath. The wreath sat overnight and by the next day the little golden color pods had begun to fall off exposing the bittersweet berry. 


Then today I added more of the golden pods for a little color variation.



These too will shed their pods in the next 24 hours and then wreath will be really full of fall glory.


Take a look around your own backyard the next time you set out to decorate for the season, I bet you'll be surprised at what you find.

Happy first weekend of fall y'all!!!

Fall Mantel ~ A Blend of Mercury Glass and Natural Elements.



I adore the colors of the fall especially against a bright white background. So this year I decided to use this concept plus a few of the pretty mercury glass and some natural materials to create my mantel display for autumn. 



I think the contrast of bling and matte is so appealing.



If you know my fireplace you will also notice a little something different about it...specifically the brick surround.


That's right...I finally got the nerve up to paint that gosh darn ugly brick!



What you don't remember what it looked like before??? Here is my 2013 mantel.


Whatayathink???

Have a great weekend!!

2015 Fall Home Tour



Hi everyone and welcome to the first day of the 2015 Fall Home Tour series which will be showcasing 30 of your favorite blogger homes all decked out for this glorious season. I am so thrilled to be part of this parade of homes since the fall is my absolute favorite time of the year! If you are visiting 21 Rosemary Lane for the first time I hope you will become a regular reader, it would be great to have you along for the ride. And if you are arriving here from Jeanette's blog Snazzy Little Things welcome and enjoy the next leg of this bloggy tour!


This year I kept our front porch very simple. Just some mums and seasonal wreath to accent the front door. These 2 wicker chairs are slated to be the end chairs of my new table (we are currently creating) for the back screened in porch area. 
(More of the back porch's new look at the end of the tour.)


Come on in!



Our fall entry features a Home Goods pitcher filled with autumn inspired florals.


I so adore this small hutch my dear friend Colene gave me last year. I really love to decorate it for each of the seasons.



The living room is sprinkled with pretty oranges and natural hues. A great contrast to all of the turquoise in this space.





Our dining room has more of a colonial vibe, so I typically like to decorate it using natural seasonal elements like gourds and squashes. However it is a little too early for pumpkins in these parts so instead I used what I happen to have on hand...fresh tomatoes and peppers right out of our garden. Tossed together in a pretty white pasta bowl, our garden goodies make a lovely seasonal centerpiece display.



The buffet's mirror is adorned with another colorful autumn wreath.


And now on to our newest redecorated space...the screened in porch! Since we moved here some 13 years ago the porch has been in desperate need of new screens, so this summer we were finally able to tackle this rather large project. In addition to replacing the screens we also painted the entire wood frame both inside and out, and Mr. Rosemary Lane added the wood "X's" to the lower portion of the screens. This was to not only reinforce the screens but to also to deter our family's 100 lb. furbaby from creating his own entrances and exits on and off the porch.


Almost every piece of white wicker was either found or given to me with the exception of the chair and rocker which were both thrift shop and yard sale finds.





I am so in love with all of the fresh blue and white in this space. The color combination is very nautical yet it is easy to add accent colors to create a seasonal feel.


There is our furbaby now! No busting through our new screens in Mr. Buster!


Our other furbaby Moe decided to grab a catnap on one of the settees! 


I sure hope you enjoyed this fall tour of our home. The next blog up on this tour is the beautiful blog Peaceful Home Decor. 

Hop on over and see all of the fall beauty at Kelly's blog. You will most certainly be inspired!

Thank you to my special friend Marty from the gorgeous and so stylish blog A Stroll Thru Life, for putting together this amazing fall home tour series. If you haven't already, you must check out this amazing and creative lady's home tour...it is a MUST SEE!


Don't miss any of the tours going on today and for the rest of the week! Here is the complete schedule. Remember 6 blog tours each day for five fantastic days!


Wishing you all a very Happy Labor Day and wonderful week of autumn inspiration!!!
