I got some bittersweet recently.
Its fall colors and texture were so lifelike.
I'm experimenting on where to use it.
Here is my fall mantel before:
and now....enter a little bittersweet....
I like the way its withered, but colorful look weaves everything together.
Actually, that was only half of it.
I decided to try the rest in a couple of places.
Here at the kitchen table - before:
After....
Maybe the dining room????
Hmmmmm, something's missing.....
Actually, I could just double up on the mantel.
Whaddaya think?
I have a fun wreath to show you, as well as
a darling bag and painting.
I might actually post more than once this week!
Hope you have a great week.
Blessings,
Linda

Linda I loved how your fall mantel looked before but adding that bittersweet added a nice pop of color, love it! It looks great in your kitchen and dining room too! Martina
That bittersweet was a good deal, Linda. I saw it at PB for $30 on sale! Love the way it looks!...hugs...Debbie
Your mantel looks beautiful! The bittersweet is a nice touch!
I absolutely love it on your mantel, Linda! What a nice finish to your fall decorating. It looks so nice going around your pumpkins.
Love the addition of the bittersweet. I haven't found any I like. Wish I had the real stuff.
Your bittersweet is wonderful. I love the look. It is fabulous and your mantel is beautiful. I love the table centerpieces too. Both are so pretty. I need some bittersweet, it is gorgeous. Hugs, Marty

Great looks Linda, you have such a beautiful home!

HI Linda...
Ohhh..I love the "extra pretty" that the bittersweet adds to your autumn vignettes, my friend! I sure wished that I had access to some! Your autumn mantel is really beautiful! I love your mirror and the wreath that you are displaying over it...gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful autumn home with us, my friend!
Warmest autumn wishes,
Chari
Your vignettes are so pretty Linda. I love the bittersweet!
Hadn't thought of European Country...sounds good!:-)
What great faux bittersweet...the bendiness ( yes, that IS a word) makes it very believable without the mess of the real stuff ( which I am obsessed with) :)
Oh, Linda, what beautiful vignettes!! The bittersweet is the perfect accent! Such great fall color!! I saw your post on Table Top Tuesday. I am now your newest follower; and I hope you will follow me, too! Blessings to you!
Gosh - that bittersweet looks so real! It's beautiful in your home and truly adds alot of warmth while bringing the outside in. :) I also adore that bayleaf (magnolia?) wreath above your mantle! So pretty!

Linda, I'm loving it on the mantel and the table with the pumpkin. Bittersweet is so Fall! I love it almost as much as hedge apples. :) Great vignettes!
Have a great week.
Looking good Linda...great touch of FALL!!!
Blessings,
Linda
Such pretty fall touches!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
You really done a great job, Linda? So pretty with fall touches. Makes your home divine.
Happy TTT...

I have never seen Bittersweet anywhere, where do you get it? It really does just tie everything together and bring Autumn right into the room.
Congrats on winning over at Dwellings, that wonderful book! I'm so glad that I found your blog. You sound like a very creative person.
Hugs, Cindy
Oops. I forgot to thank you for joining the Open House party.
Take care,
Sherry
Linda, Your Fall decor is beautiful and I especially love the mantel. I know I have told you this before but I really want that mirror.
Hugs,
Sherry
Hi, Nina! What a nice post...sort of a before bittersweet and after bittersweet. What a difference it made when you added it! And you are right; it looks so real. Visiting from A Stroll Thru Life. :)
Linda, thanks for sharing your beautiful decor. I love to use bittersweet in the fall. I know it is considered a weed in many places, but here one has to buy it. And it is pricey. ;-) I treat myself to a bunch each fall.
I'm your newest follower. I came over via Dwellings' blog and love your mantle and bittersweet. Can't wait to see your older posts.
Hi Linda! I love your bittersweet and wish I had some! It really makes your pretty mantle. Your dining table looks so pretty too.
Thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Love the fall decor~ Love the Bittersweet & is that a Bay leaf Wreath?
