There’s a definite nip in the air, and it arrived just in
time for the first week of fall. I’m betting that it won’t even reach 70 degrees
today, but that’s okay. It’s been a hot and humid summer, and I’m ready for
open windows, cozy sweaters and cowboy boots!
Over the past years, I’ve used many color combinations in my
fall decorating – pumpkin and eggplant, pumpkin and sage, and my favorite
pumpkin and turquoise. While I love rich color, I decided to go with a more
natural or tone-on-tone combo this year.
The great thing about this palate is
that it can be used in any style of home - traditional, contemporary, country, and
of course, farmhouse. Here is how I incorporated the tone-on-tone look into my
home.
Texture plays a key role in my tablescape. A combination of
linen, rattan, metals, and natural elements provides richness to the space.
Golden preserved leaves and amber glassware provide a subtle pop of color.
A birch bark pumpkin, embellished with pinecones, leaves and
acorns, takes center stage on the dining table while resting atop an oversized
sea grass charger.
A touch of whimsy is brought in with miniature ceramic owl
salt and pepper shakers.
Napkin rings created from vintage metal buttons bring a
sense of nostalgia to the table.
On the buffet, a chipped, concrete urn corrals white and
green pumpkins and gourds.
Stacked single-hued dishes topped with white pumpkins add dramatic appeal.
Mini cotton topiaries provide natural texture while flanking
each end of the dining table.
A simple white bowl is adorned with colorful mini pumpkins
and natural Spanish moss.
Hope you enjoyed the tour. Happy fall!
