Set the Table - Autumn in the Breakfast Nook
It is nearing the end of summer and time to think about Fall decorating.
I am slightly sad that summer is coming to a close, but, I am also looking forward to autumn. It is one of the most beautiful times of the year.

Since most of the pumpkins are still in the fields, I decided to start in the kitchen with some painted faux pumpkins.
We painted these pumpkins last year.
They were the typical dollar store pumpkins in varying sizes. We painted them with two coats of chalk paint and then waxed them with a tinted liquid wax that we painted on and let set-up for a few minutes.
Next, we buffed them with a soft cloth leaving some of the wax in the cracks and crevices.
The plastic stems were replaced with dried pumpkin stems that we had from the previous year.
I pop off the pumpkin stems each year and leave them where they can dry out completely.
The bottom plate in the stack is from Pier 1 Imports. The Cinnamon-coloured plates are from Bombay a few years ago and the salad plate is Coastline.
The amber-coloured glasses are from the thrift store.
The orange-handled knives and the jug are old and I think both came from England.
Instructions on how to make the Linen napkins and table runner can be found in an earlier post
I like using this old table in the kitchen. It is sort of rustic and has a few dings here and there.
We used faux bittersweet to add a bit of colour on the pumpkins.
Autumn remains one of my favourite times of the year.
I like the cooler temperatures, sweaters, and warmer colours.
