Early Fall Decorating

With the arrival of early fall,     I thought I would  ease into the season by adding a few touches of fall to the kitchen.
I considered replacing the heart shaped wreath on the wall with a fall one.....but of course that would be too easy....lol!    
I remembered a wall piece that has been in storage for quite a while and thought maybe I should bring it out of retirement.
I actually have two of these Ethan Allen display units .....Mother and I each bought one back in the 70's.   H gave it a coat of cream paint and I think it looks wonderful in place of the heart wreath.
This vintage table came from the studio where it has been waiting to get repaired.    H repaired it,  and gave it a fresh coat of paint too.

I quickly added a few sunflowers to an existing floral design,  it was in front of the kitchen window earlier.    For another touch of fall,   I placed one of the faux fur pumpkins that I have been making by my big rooster.
I doubled the size of our kitchen table by extending one of the drop leaves.   I also positioned the chairs a little different for fun.
I moved the Roosters from under the window over to the pass thru for a little different look.....also,  gave them a much needed dusting.      In place of the roosters ,   I put a small table with a vintage drainer of dishes set on top.    Notice the new Diner sign that I got at HL the other day?.......90% off.

H took down the chalkboard that was hung between the kitchen and the small dining room for a more open look.

 He also removed the small door on the Hoosier ....now you can see the vintage flour sifter.
It is still pretty warm here in New Mexico,  but there is a different feel to the air.........it's called fall!

  1. Where is this fall you speak of? It was 95 degrees today. I want to pull out my pumpkins and fall stuff, but I don't want to spontaneously combust when I go to retrieve them from the attic. Plus, it just feels wrong when it's so dang hot.
    I love how the display unit and little table turned out- they look like they belong together.

  11. You are so creative at composing beautiful vignettes with grace and beauty. Moving to chairs to be side by side seems romantic to me. Thank you for linking this to Make It Monday.
