My last bunch of displays were vivid and colorful...created from some things that I got at the farmers' market. The ones I did for today have a more muted color scheme using elements from around my house, hydrangea flowers and a few apples. They also have a farmhouse flavor, especially with my big rooster and antique sideboard.
I think it is so pretty to use hydrangeas, gourds and a few white pumpkins for fall decorating. I like things simple, neutral, kind of worn looking and with lots of texture. I am all about texture...I like it more than color. I also like a good apple...
I love certain elements of farm style decorating...the patina of an old piece and and how it just feels warm and comfortable. I also think it looks great when it is mixed with more modern pieces of furniture and artwork, natural elements, a little metal and some great light fixtures too.
Well, that's it for my fall displays...they have been revamped and moved to new areas since my son has been begging me to decorate for Halloween (ugh...I was almost going to write Christmas), so that will be the next thing on my agenda. When I get it done, I will have to share my creepy photos with you ;)
I want to say a big thank you to my wonderful new friend Rachel at French Farmhouse 425 for mentioning me on her blog the other day...that was so sweet of her. If you want to enjoy a few other farmhouse treasures be sure to go and visit her.
Lastly, I will be linking this post up to Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday, so head over to Debra's blog and check out all of the inspiring posts.
Have a great day!
I like the combination of the hydrangea and the pumpkins. I am always torn between traditional Halloween colors and quieter colors. With my son in the house orange and black normally win out.

I love hydrangeas! I think they're my favorite flower...thanks for sharing your gorgeous pics!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHey Tricia thanks for coming by to say hello! I think your colour combinations are beautiful. I personally prefer muted, blush tones for the home and your colour choices were a pleasant and heavenly twist on the ususal earthy colours of fall. I'm with you there on that too - I try to enjoy it as much as possible because I'm not a big fab of the cold!

ReplyDeleteTricia, you have created a gorgeous fall display. I am head over heels in love with your rooster! I adore the soft muted tones. Very beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI love this look! These pictures look like them came out of a magazine!-Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your blog! I'm so glad I came across it ♥
Tricia, The colors you chose are a stunning palette of softness and age. Just breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangeas give a lovely softness to the vignette. And the rooster awash in neutrals looks perfect with all the other elements.
Beautifully done!

Hi Tricia! BEAUTIFUL vignette!! I love every little detail! I have been looking for one of those marmalade jars, but no luck yet (at least not in my price range!).

BEAUTIFUL displays - you've inspired me so much that my husband has been designated to bring some pumpkins home so that I can experiment. (poor thing - he thinks they're for soup!) Alas, I think that my dabbling may end up looking like my normal vegetable container in the kitchen, but thanks for sharing - absolutely gorgeous styling - lovely photography too!
ReplyDeleteYou have a classy way of decorating for fall. Very very pretty. Lovin' that rooster;)
ReplyDeleteI love the sideboard arrangement...super cute. Great pictures. Is it okay to say you're sickeningly good? ;)
