I love fabric and using it to create a mood or season is so easy to do and really enhances all of your decor. Look through your scarfs and shawls or create a few table toppers that you can use in unusual ways to add some fall color and do some soft scaping to enhance your displays. Here I have used a shawl to add a little interest and drama to this vignette.
A table topper square scrunched on the coffee table adds a ton of interest and color.
A table runner achieves the same effect.
Mandy @
Wise Designs and Inspiration uses a shaw on her buffet to add color and interest to her vignette. So much prettier than just bare wood and more interesting than a straight tablerunner.
You have all seen that I use table squares on my dining table all the time.
Here I've used one of my favorite shawls and created a totally different look.
Same shawl and a scarf laying on an ottoman for added color and pattern.
Two different scarfs for a totally different look.
A peek at a tabletop that I am working on, again usuing a scarf.
Look through your stash of fabric, your old scarfs, shawls or whatever you have and see how you can add a little fall color or change things up with a little soft scaping in your own home.

That's a great idea. Everything looks so classy and finished.
ReplyDeleteMarty,

It looks beautiful.Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Fall Vignette's! I am gathering my fall decor slowly. Will start around the end of September to decorate my home!
ReplyDeleteLove that look Marty.... I've never done it before, but I'm going to give it a whirl...
ReplyDeleteHuggies,

Those are fantastic looks, Marty. It really is surprising how the addition of the colors and patterns in the scarves gives the vignette a warmer look. I especially like the second one with the fern and globe. It seems too soon to decorate for fall because the temperature is still so high here but the calendar says it's time so I will get started, soon. Shannon
ReplyDeleteMarty just beautiful...absolutely beautiful

I love it when folks use table squares, especially when they have gorgeous tables like yours, Marty! My dining table is an ugly brass and glass monstrosity from the eighties, so I like to cover mine completely with a tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I always notice the fabric use in your vignettes.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you use fabric in your vignettes. I've tried. Mine usually looks as if I accidentally left a scarf on the table.
ReplyDeleteMarty all your table tops look beautiful! My absolute favorite is the one of your dining room table with all your silver pieces. MArtina
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I need to do that! Haven't gotten in the Fall mood yet still pretty hot in Florida! One month and we'll see some relief.
ReplyDeleteThanks always for your wonderful inspiration Marty!
Hugs,
LaDonna

And all my fabric is packed up! I'm going to miss seeing it. But won't be moving until the end of October. Oh well, can look at yours.

These all look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.

hahaaa...I have a rule that I never read other comments until AFTER I leave mine..I just read DEBBIE'S and have to say that is just what my scarves would look like. :)))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Who would have thunk it. You are a pro at this, just like in the magazines!
ReplyDeleteLovely as always. I always notice your fabrics and how well they play up your tabletops. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLoving all your pops of fall color Marty! You always have such beautiful displays!!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love fabric, Marty! I just recently saw a scarf that I almost picked up to use on a table.
ReplyDeleteMarty, such beautiful scarfs. You've given me some inspiration. I am so ready to decorate for fall.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Good morning Marty....you worked wonders with that shawl......looks great!!!...I'm getting ready to leave the beach house and head back to the burbs and reality...thx for sharing your beautiful fall inspiration...it helps in easing the transition of going back and the change of seasons....xo, Mariaelena
ReplyDeleteGreat idea but unfortunately I don't have such great shawls like yours! I will be on the look out.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to work with fabric is an art form. You, Marty, are an artist. As for Fall Decor, I'm still in denial, even if the leaves are already turning colour. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas.

Beautiful! I love seeing the softness on the otherwise hard tabletops! :-D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Marty! I also love the visual interest adding a throw, runner, scarf or other materials adds to tabletops. Love it on your ottoman, too! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeletePretty scarves and great ideas, Marty. Hope you have a nice Labor Day.
ReplyDeleteBabs
Love the beautiful fall tablescapes! Fall is my favorite time of year and I am ready to begin decorating!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a good idea. I would never have thought of that. Especially for Fall. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. liz
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for these lovely ideas on draping, I specailly like the scarf kind, as I have some pretty ones with fringes that could look perfect! Your arrangements look beautiful! Lots of hugs. FABBY
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful examples of draped fabric! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWOW! you have inspired me to add a little life to areas around our home and make use of linens and scarves that may otherwise just be left in drawers... xo HHL
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a leather chair like yours. Where did you purchase it?
