Autumn Kitchen Tea Vignettes


I've finally warmed things up a bit
in our kitchen
with the luscious colours of autumn.


I am so excited to share these
 seasonal changes
 with all of you today!








To me autumn harvest season 
is best when its bounty
 fills up an old wicker basket.









Of course you will find tea things
around here "flavored"
 with the rich colours of fall!



















Like many of you I keep moving and tweaking
till things "feel" as they are in the right spot.









This is how it looked (below pic) first thing this morning- 
See? Change, change, changing all the time.

I moved the runner already since this post
and am now using it on the dining room table.

I have issues, I realize.

"Hello. My name is Michele
 and I am a over-tweaking decor enthusiast."


Ah, I see many of your familiar faces at the OTDE meetings.









My husband will probably say that if I don't move things
 at least 10 times till it looks just right 
 that I am not being myself.


To love me is to know me-
To know me is to tolerate love me.
                                          
(Who am I kidding? To really know me is to run in a blind panic the opposite way. )









The little beige pumpkin and gourd with leaf 
on bottom rack are salt and pepper shakers.

I don't think I've ever seen a set
 that was different shapes like that.

The below pic is a simple burlap strips pumpkin
sitting on the very top of my kitchen hutch. 

I sorta "blind photographed" it - 
too scared lazy disinterested to climb up
 on a dining chair to get a  better view.

 Glad it was at least in focus.









Well, that's about it for now:
 the autumn kitchen as it stands today.


I will share the living room soon.

ALSO DON'T MISS IT:
There's still  time for my humble

little autumn giveaway:

As always, thank you for your visit!

  2. It's looking like Fall at your house, Michele. I love your burlap strip pumpkin and the subtle touches you have added to your kitchen. It is those subtle touches that take the most tweaking I think. xo Diana

  3. Michelle, your autumn touches are lovely. I've yet to do anything for the change of season. Perhaps next week I'll get inspired, though when it's 98 that's difficult to do. Ha!

  4. You just have the perfect amount of rustic touches and I think we all confuse our hubby's with our "critical eye"!! Beautiful! I am so loving your burlap strip pumpkin! Did you post a tutorial? Am I the only one that needs one? lol! I just love it!

    Thanks so much for your sweet comment today...you called me "doll" and believe it or not, that was my mother;s maiden name (German)! :)

    XO,

  9. Your Fall décor looks so pretty in the kitchen! I can relate to the "over tweaking" thing. My son that's leaving for the military said that he was sure that everything would look different at home when he got back. I said he was probably right! LOL!

  20. I need to get inspired to bring out the fall things, but the weather has to make a sharp turn before the spirit moves me to do that. It'll happen though.

    Love what you've done.
