Welcome Fall Tablescape: Textured Neutrals

 

Hello, My Lovelies!  Welcome to my party!  If you're hopping in order, you just left Cecilia's blog My Thrift Store Addiction.  Didn't you just love her transferware for fall?  I'm so excited about today's post because it's part of a tablescape blog hop welcoming fall.  I can't wait to be inspired by the fifteen other stylists participating because it wouldn't be fun to only set one table for fall, now, would it?!?!?  I will be borrowing their ideas in the near future.

Thank-you, Rita, for hosting these blog hops.

I always enjoy them and look forward to participating.  

It's a tradition in our home to ease into autumn with white and neutral things, partly because it is so hot here in Central Alabama at the beginning of the season.  Usually the first fall tablescape I put together has our white Pottery Barn leaf and acorn plates on it.  This year, I was going to do something a little different, and our daughter got upset and wanted me to use the Pottery Barn plates, so I did.  I know y'all have seen them before, but we do love them.  Another tradition we enjoy is taking our our set of white glass pumpkins;  I already have them displayed in the art studio.

The plate stack is simple with a Longaberger neutral basketweave plate under our leaf and acorn plates.  Both are resting on a willow placemat, and the table runner is a new purchase from Anthropologie.  I loved the neutral check with the highlighter yellow trim.

Clockwise from Top Left:  We have honeycrisp apple and oak scented candles on the table to help us get into the spirit of fall.

We enjoy eating breakfast outside this time of the year because the mornings are cooler.  On these special days we can take our plates and coffee outside, and the cutlery holders are also handy for this.  The coffee press and espresso cups and saucers are new for fall from the Magnolia Collection at Target.  I love how the cups and saucers are fluted.

Our centerpieces are marigolds and white violets in pretty neutral pots.

Our limelights have been out of control this year.  They have enjoyed the rain and all the heat.

I was inspired by this centerpiece from Terrain.  I love the trough look, but I decided to use the three neutral pots I already had.

Clockwise from Top Left:  I continued the neutral theme with the candlesticks and candles.  The only bright colors on the table are the yellows and oranges from the marigolds and highlighter yellow stripe on the table runner.

The pumpkin salt and pepper shaker set is made up of pretty neutrals.  The under napkin is a brown and white check in a darker shade compared to the table runner.

The brown leather napkin ring adds a little bit of masculinity to the table.

It's a simple table with lots of neutrals and textures, and I think it's appropriate for this time of the year here in Central Alabama.
