falling for fall {tablescape}

reclaimed wood table runner

With the kids back in school, football in full swing, and slightly cooler temps this week, I finally decided to work on my fall decor.  I played around with my dining table center piece for awhile adding and changing it around, but then ended up going with this very simple arrangement.

We had an extra plank of reclaimed wood left over from our dining room table project, which set the theme for my fall table.  I love how distressed it is with all the old nail holes, etc.  When we where picking out the lumber for our dining table, we tried to look for pieces that had lots of character.  My husband cut it to fit the center of my table and I used it as my center runner.  I added a burlap table runner under the plank and then added this rustic wire basket with a burlap liner to continue my rustic fall theme.  Megan @ Honey We're Home inspired me with her beautiful fall tablescape using this same basket filled with pumpkins and apples.  I decided for my basket I would add a few leaves that my daughter collected from outside, and then finished it off with the orange "happy fall" tag.

So that's my simple early fall table decor.  I'm looking forward to adding to it later on for Thanksgiving.  Have you started decorating for fall yet?
