A post about my fall vignette in collaboration with six other DIY bloggers: Farmhouse Hens Decorate! I will admit when our first project was announced as a Fall Vignette my immediate thought was, “What’s a vignette?” then I looked it up and my next thought was that I wanted really badly to make a lovely sign just for this project! My mod podge image transfer project did not, admittedly, come out exactly like I had hoped, however, I think it is still quite cool and adds some character to the whole display. I also knew immediately where I wanted my Vignette to be: in our entry way beneath my grandparents’ old mirror! After that it was just a case of getting creative!
The old enamelware my grandma left me remains some of my most favorite things. The big old pans are all in really good shape and I love displaying them around our home. The hydrangeas you have all seen in my posts before, we used them as table decorations for our wedding and I dried them as keepsakes and have a bouquet of them in almost every room! A fall vignette would just not have been right to me without some kind of squash so I picked up two Acorns at the store.
The oil lamp was in the basement when I started the renovation and I saved it in a place out in the barn so it would be safe. I couldn’t believe how lovely it was after a good cleaning and, yes, that’s oil in there from who knows how long ago!
The table is an old kitchen table with a metal top which has been on my to-do list for years now! I plan on stripping it down and leaving that metal top while probably giving the legs a new paint color (most likely white). The old rocker is one of two that were my very first DIY furniture refinishing projects EVER! I called them the old farmer and his little wife ๐
In the beginning this fall vignette project was really daunting to me! I am not crafty nor am I much of a decorator but as I put it together it really made my heart feel good. Everything here are representations of things I love and memories I never want to lose. Thanks so much for coming and sharing it with me! Make sure and check out the other fall vignette’s from the rest of the Farmhouse Hens, they are absolutely fabulous!

The antique enamel ware is the first thing that jumped out at me. So very Grandma’s House to share something your treasure from your heritage. The letting dead things go quote rings so true and I will remember it this fall. Beautifully done authentic farmhouse vignette.
Thank you so much Leanna!
Cute!
Thanks Nancy!
I love the story behind everything in this gorgeous farmhouse fall vignette! The pieces from your grandmother mixed with some of your Wedding flowers are just perfect!! You are definitely a decorator!! So happy to be a part of this talented group of #farmhousehens
Thank you so much Michelle!
What a precious collection of goodies you have in your vignette! Sure makes the vignette that much more special! I love your Grandmas enamel ware and your dried hydrangeas from your special day!
Thank you so much Sam!
I agree with you. Vignettes don’t make much sense unless the objects you incorporate in them mean something to you. Yours is great because they do. I inherited some oil lamps from my grandparents and I use them when we lose power. They are much better than candles.
Hi Lisa, I’ve been meaning to try our oil lamp from my grandparents’ and see how it works!
Lovely set up.

Thank you so much Cindy!
There is something to be said about dried hydrangas, enamelware and an oil lantern. It surely reminds me of the days gone by and has such a warm, cozy homey feeling. A very lovely vignette.
Thank you Marsha ๐
Hi Tarah, I love that you have an appreciation for what belonged to your Grandmother. That enamel bucket is so cool, and looks like it’s in great shape. So impressed that you split your own firewood too. I’m like you…not crafty at all, but I try to be somewhat. Sure doesn’t come easy. I marvel at what other bloggers come up with!
