My Fall Kitchen Is Wearing A Halloween Disguise



This year my kitchen will be wearing a Halloween costume! 

It has decided to wear a fake mustache. I thought I had better warn you, just in case you do not recognize it!….

The vintage cutting board was brought back out to warm it up for the upcoming cooler weather.

I am enjoying my new hand towel in black and white stripes.

Ornamental Kale is just the right texture, and green for my kitchen. 


The dipped in black and cream planter is just the right container to hold the Kale. You will notice the little letter “P,” I have had that for years.


If you take a look inside the cupboards you will see a few more “P’s” !

I get lots of good light coming in my kitchen window.

Across from the kitchen is my dining room. I like to keep it simple by adding an urn and a big green pumpkin for the Fall…………..

Will "WHITE" Be The Winning Color For Fall?

 
 My Top REPINS On Pinterest

Pinterest has a plethora of beautiful images to pin for Fall. I thought it would be fun to go to my very own board for fall, and see what other pinners are liking the most.

The criteria : The pin has to have at the least 6 repins!!

Lets begin with just a sampling of what you will see on my boards………

FALLISH

8 repins!

It looks as if all white is gaining momentum!

15 repins


Top repin with 23 pins!!
I thought the white pumpkins were going to be the top repins, but it looks as if pinners still want a little color in their lives.

Do you prefer the softer side of Fall with whites, and neutrals, or do you like the colorful side of Fall?

15 Ways To Add Fall To YOUR Home Without Orange



Fall decorating can be hard for a Springtime gal like myself. In years past I have developed a decorating plan that seems to work for me.

It all started with a list!!! I made a list of elements that evoked a Fall look that I do enjoy……..

Wooden bowls

Wooden turned candlesticks

Pumpkins and gourds in white and greens

Mums in white, purples and golden yellow

 Baskets





Bakelite silverware


Lanterns


Nuts and acorns

Branches in vases

By having this list on hand it makes it easier for me to change my décor to a more Fall-like look.

You will notice that in my list there are no russets, or oranges! 

So you see it is possible to decorate for Fall without using any of the colors in the orange family!!

Do you like to us traditional autumnal colors, or are you like me?

For more ideas that I like for Fall go to my Pinterest board, "FALLISH!" 
(just click on the word Fallish!)
