Late Summer Early Fall Decor

It's still a little early for me to decorate for fall yet,    so I'm calling the new decor in the hallway Late Summer /  Early fall.   

This time of year is just beautiful here in Eastern New Mexico     Wild sunflowers are in bloom along the roadside and in our gardens.       

Seeing all the sunflowers outside made me want to bring a similar look inside........

Hallway Before.................................................     Hallway After 
 (yes,  my spring decor was still up....lol)

I started the new look for the hallway by hanging a metal windmill that I found recently at Hobby Lobby

I attached 2 sunflower garlands to the top of my window frame 

 (I used buffalo check ribbon to tie the garlands to the window frame)

I tucked a few pink roses into my garland.......

I replaced the neutral colored crocheted pieces I had hung behind the windows with some pretty white Battenburg lace pieces.

I had a wooden wall art piece hung on the opposite wall,   but my daughter needed it for a wall in her dining room so I let her have it. 
 I hung this  pic of white cows with a cardboard frame in it's place......it's one of my favorites!      I've had it in the bathroom,  over the mantel in the family room,    over the fireplace in the master bedroom and now in the hallway,

 

I took down the crocheted pieces that I had hanging on the head / foot board to wash them and decided I like the simpler look so I didn't put them back up.

I've been asked several times how the head / foot boards were attached to the wall and with all that crocheted stuff off of them,   I can show you!

Before you anchor the windows to the wall put a 1 x 2 on the back of the window frame on each end.    That will keep the window from being flat against the wall so you can run ribbon around the window frame and bed frame   Tie the ribbon tight and it will hold your headboard up against the wall.

Now for the foot board......

Screw your wood block to the wall......screw your bed frame to the block......tie a ribbon around the block to hide it and wa-la!

Thank you so much for stopping by,     I'll be back soon to share the other end of the hallway!
