This is my cottage that I transformed from a bay in our barn.

I recently added new flooring and board and batten to the walls.

I love this area and the warm and inviting feeling to it.

It is the perfect place to decorate for Fall.

I added a large gold framed mirror to the mantle, then I added a vintage architectural detail.

Next, I added a beautiful vintage picture of a harvest.

By adding layers, it gives it the ‘styled over the years’ look, instead looking brand new.

Then, I added these gorgeous lamps to either end of the mantle.

If you have been around Peacock Ridge Farm for any amount of time, you know that I’m going to tie a wreath to just about anything.

I love how these lamps look now.

I used a concrete riser under one of the hurricanes to add depth and dimension to the mantlescape.

I tucked in some fall leaves around the candles for a bit more autumnal flair.

I added some vintage cast iron urns with pheasant feathers in them.

And tucked in some eucalyptus that I cut from my garden, around the pumpkins and hurricanes.

Of course, I also had to tuck in a few pumpkins.

I used a grapevine pumpkin and a few neutral pumpkins.

I wanted to create the feeling of fall without using the oranges, reds and yellows that are normally used-I wanted this space to feel neutral and relaxed.
