The Bounty of Fall in the Breakfast Room

I almost always start decorating for any season in this room, I always have. But since I am taking you through the house on a little "tour" now we have come to the breakfast room. As most of you know, Joe made me this hutch when we lived at the old house. Can you believe we have been here, in this house, for almost 5 years!!! It will be 5 on Oct. 1st. I LOVE decorating for Fall, as the colors of Fall are the colors I LOOOOVE! I did a lot on the top of the hutch and kept the shelves a little sparce.....well, sparce for me;) The walls are the same color but look different depending on how the sun is shining in here.
 I filled the lantern on top of the hutch with some pumpkins, orange slices, pinecones etc., but you can't see it and I didn't want to drag a ladder out:)
 I gathered 2 garlands together for a lush look and draped them over the down one side.
 Pumpkins, faux cabbage, gourds, and leaves and I filled my green bottle with some fall branches.
 I LOVE these pod branches.
 This plate was found at Kohl's several years ago. I have a matching meat platter too.
 I added just 2 Fall picks to this small bottle.
 I found this topiary several years ago at, I think, Joann Fabric! Yes, they have great seasonal décor.
 This little squirrel is one of my favorites.
 These pumpkins are sitting on wire stands and candle rings. So much prettier than just sitting on the shelf.

 On each side of the windows are these 2 stands. They are actually plant stands that I bought over 30 years ago! They lived in the foyer in the old house. The demijohn on the center shelf I found at an antique mall near me a few weeks ago.

 I like filling this wire cloche with lots of acorns and pinecones.









 Aren't these little birds so cute:)
 
 
Thanks for your visit.

Fall 2017 Mantle and Hearth!

I just LOVE decorating for fall. The colors of Fall are truly my colors. My heart skips a beat when I place my pumpkins and other décor around the house in the Fall. So, I am continuing my tour and hope you have been following along.
 I debated about changing out the picture over the mantle but in the end decided to keep it here and work with it.
 So, I combined some Fall colors along with some blue and white pieces.
 During the day the sun streams into this room. I smile every morning when I walk out here.
 I made this large arrangement for this side of the mantle.


 One of my velvet pumpkins nestles in a blue and white container.
 The crane topiary on the other end balances the arrangement. 2 gold, glitter pumpkins are nestled around it.
 Bittersweet branches add some more texture.
 I love the carved, wooden lanterns on the hearth and will probably always keep them here. I added some blue and white jars and 2 wooden pumpkins that sit on candle rings.
 This pottery pumpkin was found many years ago. It is sitting on a pedestal container along with a green ring and a berry ring.


 At night we turn on the lights. The lanterns are on timers so come on automatically.
 This is a warm and cozy room to sit and read. We are having HOT weather again but it will be gone by Fri. and true Fall weather is on the horizon.







 And I lit the candle in the pumpkin.
 
Thanks for your visit.

Falling Leaves at The Table!

I am resharing this table from last year. I had intended to continue my Fall tour but didn't get pictures taken before I left....I am at the beach! I hope you will enjoy seeing this one again. I set a new everyday table for Fall. The colors were inspired by the garland. What beautiful colors of Fall! For the runner I just flipped over a printed runner to this pretty green side. The leaf plates I have had for several years. I added some Indian corn to the setting that picks up the colors of the plates.


A faux pumpkin sits on top. My green flatware makes another appearance.

I gathered 2 napkins; a plain gold and the flowery print in a flower napkin ring.


 I love the colors in this garland.
 And the leaf goblets, (from Dollar Tree several years ago), go so well! Along with a green candle holder and maroon votive.

 My centerpiece is a mix of acorns in a metal cloche.
 These pumpkins have a hole in the bottom to place a tea light. I use the LED ones.

Thanks for your visit today. I hope you are enjoying some beautiful Fall weather where you are!
