It's Still Fall in our HOME!

We didn't decorate much for Halloween this year. I started Fall in early October because of having surgery in the middle of the month. I didn't want to have a huge change to make.
I pulled this thrifted tray out to set this vignette on my counter. Basically all I use this counter for is to unload the dishwasher. I'm blessed with tons of counter space and a large island where all the prep and cooking goes on.

I'm still dealing with plants that haven't found their homes yet from outside. The long enameled pot is a French Fish Poacher. The pumpkins and gourds are a mixture of Faux and real, can you tell which is which...lol. A blue jar filled with dried Dill and a stack of heavy stoneware plates, and a Fall towel hide the empty banana rack. Gourds dried or Faux.

Our everyday dishes are in this cabinet. I still have to rearrange the top shelf when I am comfortable on a ladder. And I have to wait until Hubby is home.

The cabinet is a bit messy, but this is what works for us. This photo tells me this cabinet needs some attention. Many of the dishes are thrifted and I see my Tulip plates (center back) are still up from Spring. Hmmmm?
Normally I add a few color pieces for seasons...I still haven't found my Fall ceramics tote???

Our little white buffet is covered in a thrift store woven tablecloth. It has a 70" round Hearth and Home tag, and still had folds in it from the original packaging. A steal at $2.00. I gravitate towards plaids for the Fall and winter holidays.
The long squash is one of 6 we grew, very delicious---was some sort of Illinois variety that my friend gave me seeds for.
The white pot holds a lemon grass plant from outside. We will see if it sprouts again or not. It was so dry outside for 8weeks and now we have had 3 days of rain.
This is quite a mess, as I have a large pot of Rosemary, a Hummingbird plant.
On the far end is my curly willow plant from the pond. The frogs disappeared soon after I removed this, I think they liked hiding under there. |

Pigs and mushrooms and gourds, and even a gnome are here and there. Way too much, but it will change a lot as I get more organinzed. These plants take up so much space and the kitchen has the best light.

Curly willow, an Oxalis (left), a spider plant designated for my bedroom, soon.

Fall is sparse here, but i mixed our German flasks with a Danish brass (drinkers) plate (the noses are rubbed off from so much polishing), my Grandmother's Friar Tuck Cookie Jar, and one lonely pumpkin. LOL. A few bits of fall toned dishes and pots.

Here's the main kitchen problem...Herbs and all my Mandilla plants that are still blooming like crazy. I set up a temporary plant stand to give them all the light they demand.

This kitchen window is a southern exposure and gets the best light in the home for plants.

With the rain the third day...I actually turned on the lights above the windows. They are woven in a Eucalyptus vine and I haven't needed to use it. But, with daylights savings done and the rain, it's been so dark in the afternoon the warm lights are welcoming.
My dining table has a Walmart plastic table cloth on right now..I have lots of messy projects to do...and this is perfect for right now. 75% off, so $2.00, and I love that their seasonal cloths are wide enough for my large table.

Our large Enamel platter holds one of our garden pumpkins and some squash the rest is Faux. I elevated the pumpkin on a bean pot.

The other side has faux cabbage, a real pinecone, and faux Tomato, mixed with gourds, real dried and faux
On the back end is my favorite Fall candle.
WELL, that is unplanned Fall in our home...a bit of this and that from one tub of Fall stuff. It's taken me 6 weeks to get this far...I can't even imagine doing Christmas.
I'm not sure we are even doing Thanksgiving.

Oh, Sandy, I never even got Halloween up. Maybe I'll bring something up today. I need a diversion. Your home looks absolutely wonderful.. I especially love your centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteLOL, my Halloween was outside, I think there was nothing in the kitchen, and a gourd cat and a fuzzy owl---which I kept up in the livingroom. I just knew I wouldn't be up for much. I helped take down outside and then slept for 3 hours before dinner. OY...need some serious energy here. Hugs, and I'm kinda dreading Christmas. lol. Sandi
DeleteI really like the tray as a backdrop and as the color palette for fall. Little touches here and there for me are the best way to decorate. Except Christmas: while I don't have a ton, I do have more than for the rest of the year and I love a tree in every room. Simple and small for most but the twinkly lights are my favorite!

Oh, goodness we are of the same heart...I have to have a tree in everyroom also...sometimes they are a bit weird, but a tree image for sure. Looking forward to seeing yours, thanks for visiting! Sandi
