Oh, Autumn...

'Tis the season!
I've so enjoyed seeing everyone's autumn shots ~ whether they are pictures of nature, home decor, or tablescapes ~ I've been inspired! Today I've decided to share a table with an autumn theme. Please visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for other amazing tables.

I've gathered a few of my favorite things and set a table for two. It's this time of year that I think cozy thoughts, thoughts of sitting close and sharing the day's adventures... or a good book.


The chargers were a recent purchase from Tuesday Morning. They were originally a silver color but were scratched quite a bit. They were in need of repainting, so I chose a satin brown. I've always admired wooden chargers, but not their price, so I improvised.

The dishes were purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond ~ Westerly Basket.
The napkins were purchased at World Market.




The napkin rings and flatware were eBay purchases.





The candle holders and candle rings were thrift store treasures...the pumpkin centerpieces were purchased at Garden Ridge several years ago.




As the sun sets and  the cooler weather is soon to arrive, Autumn, I welcome you!


 
 
Enjoy your Thursday!

  1. What a beautiful table. I LOVE your chargers. They are just gorgeous. I would really like some wooden ones too, but I agree, they usually are just too expensive. Your keys, the candleholders, the book and all of the other accessories are so beautifully displayed. The dishes are so pretty with the lattice edge. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty

  21. Love the luscious rich dark brown colors you've used!
    Nice job on painting those chargers, too. They are AWESOME & so are the white basket weave plates!

    I like your use of the pocket watches. My DH has bought each of his 4 sons a pocket watch & he has one as well. A nice old fashioned touch when they wear a tux!
