Layered Rugs and Styling the Coffee table for Fall



Layering has always been  part of my decorating style and rugs are no exception!


In the sun room,   I decided to put a small rag rug on top of my large custom rug.    Smooth pattered bottom rug and solid raggy top rug.....love the combination of textures.       If you missed the post sharing how I made my custom rug,   here's a link to it.......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/07/diy-custom-fabric-rug.html


I like to keep a simple vignette on the coffee table in the sun room and I have this one all 'corralled" in a tobacco basket..     We need plenty of room for our drinks and snacks!.    


All I have in my basket is a floral design using succulents and pumpkins with a white owl to the side of it.  
     

I've finished decorating the south side of the sun room for fall......if you missed that post,  here is a link to it.....http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/09/fall-wreath-and-pink-pickup-truck.html
 

Now I need to do something with this side of the sun room.  
 I've had my fairy garden up for several years and I can't decide whether to just add some fall touches to it tor pack everything  away and start fresh!


Have you started decorating for fall yet?

  11. I have not once though of layering rugs, but it certainly looks good when you do it. I have been looking for candelabras for a couple of month and look you have an entire mantel of them. So pretty.

  12. Beautiful! Love your mantel, too, and the sweet wicker pumpkin on the coffee table with your owl. Love owls! Once petted a barn owl at a zoo while visiting family in England. Lovely... sigh!
