Weathered And Washed With Life

All Photos Burlap Luxe Home

Weathered and washed with life.
How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky
Hues of all flowers that in their ashes lie.
Trophied in that fair light whereon they fed.
Tulips, and hyacinth, and sweet rose red

~ Thomas Hood
Here in October with the cool Autumn sun I lie awake in what I
will find tomorrow.
Here just a simple face of a birdhouse is all that was salvaged pale with
a colourful soul
Weathered with a galvanized patina garden markers await their next markings.
French floral cans with the change of seasons will be filled
with nature.

Timeworn Hush Greets Fall

All Photos Burlap Luxe Home by Dore Callaway

Awakening of Fall in my home with soulwork.


Fall is where your heart lands, a season of renewal;
awaiting the seasons to come.


A French chest that sits in my entry to my French rustic home welcomes my very soul to a
natural fall home.
I gave this piece many finishes until I settled on a patina that added an
authentic awakening.


Natural French Fall


Even the colourless pumpkins are crowned and loved with the art of rustic fall.

This crown is one of my bent and twisted wire creations.



Fall and its natural organic pieces underfoot encourage an imagination with
rustic country living.


A custom ordered crown for Vera, this piece was loved for what it added to my fall.

When stain and colour was not definable that's when I knew it was done.

Vera, its on its way to you and your beautiful Row Home Philadelphia.
