Fall In Love With Texas Day 3

Welcome back to our tour featuring some of my favorite Texas bloggers.
They are so creative!
There will be three great blogs to visit after a quick look at our fall kitchen.
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen so it's fun to sprinkle some fall decor around the space.

Our kitchen is quite dark because of the enclosed garden room adjacent to the space.
We've done all we can to lighten it up.  White cabinets and a white marble back splash have helped tremendously.

We had a huge upper cabinet that looked like it was pulling away from the wall. In actuality, the integrity of the cabinet was beginning to fail. The front, sides and shelves were pulling away from the backing which would have caused all of our everyday dishes and glassware to fall crashing to the floor.
Removing it ended up being a huge blessing in disguise because it further lightened up the space.

New, antique, and vintage blue and white dishes adorn the shelves.
Removing two cabinet doors on the buffet on the opposite side of the room brought more display space.

Dish placement looks a little random but it's really not. It's one of my favorite places to decorate.

Tiny white pumpkins dot the space and look serene with blue and white porcelain.



You know I'm a huge fan of vintage graphics used in Decor.
One of my children received a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme book as a baby gift.
It didn't end up being a favorite book. I thought about giving it away but the cute illustrations stopped me in my tracks. I mentally catalogued all the nursery rhymes in the recesses of my brain and I knew
Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater would be perfect for our fall kitchen decor even if it is a bizarre nursery rhyme.

I popped it in an Eastlake Victorian picture frame. These frames are commonly know as Adirondack or Black Forest picture frames.
I love them especially at this time of year.

These frames add a perfect bit of fall whimsey with the oak leaves in the corners.

Simple, serene and fun.

Thanks for taking a look.
Visit the blogs below for more inspiration. 

 Joy @ The Aspiring Home is a busy DIYer.
Check out her colorful tablescape. I just love those candles and the tassels on the candelabra.

bj at Sweet Nothings is a darling blogging friend. She loves her family, decorating and baking.
Take a peek at how she has decorated her home with pumpkins.

Monica from the blog,  Monica Wants It has a gorgeous new home. It's just stunning.
Find out what she is up to with her 5 tips for Creating Chic Vignettes.

There you have it my friends,
We have a big day tomorrow so be sure to come by and check it out.

Fall In Love With Texas Day 1

Welcome to the third Fall In Love With Texas Blog Tour. 

We are so happy that you have stopped by. 

I'm kicking off the tour with a peek at my home. 

Welcome! 

A Pottery Barn Sunflower pillow was the springboard for the color scheme. 

I used a gift card that I'd been hoarding. It's a fun use for it. 

This may be the first time we have had a higher end pillow as a catalyst for our fall decor and it is worth the splurge.

Anything with a golden hue was commandeered for our 2018 decor. 

An IKEA Hermine Throw and a gold pillow from Magnolia Market dress up the brown leather chair. 

A gold throw made by my grandmother in law and a velvet pillow grace the chair opposite the fireplace. 

A cute heirloom pumpkin rests on the antique child's school chair. 

The mantel hosts iron stone, an antique ceiling tin and a beloved painting from my mother in law. 

The old gold tones and the purple tree in this old oil painting are perfection. 

Knick knacks with a nod to fall were swapped with other pieces. 

Nandina branches from the garden fill up vases and pitchers. Their leaf tips are best when they start to turn from green to coral and then red. 

The cloches were going to get packed away but I fell in love with their vignette potential on the piano. 

The dining room received a few of my favorite fall faux accessories. 

The dish dresser is decorated with Florentine by Crown Ducal. 

It sets a lovely cream ground for a few beloved pumpkins. 

The ceramic pumpkins came from Hobby Lobby many years ago.
I love their majolica style.

The scarecrow has been around for a while. He'd lost his head somehow but it's been glued back on. 

The leaf dishes are Spode. 

Bittersweet runs wild through the vignettes. 

This squirrel is a cutie. I picked him up during a junking expedition with my brother, Dave. 

He's really a for hiding a key on a porch. 

I've got more to share.
I'll share a little more on Wednesday. 

For now, check out my other blogging friends. 

Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction  Cecilia is a kindred spirit with her junk store finds. Check out how she incorporates thrifted finds into her fall wine and cheese picnic.

Next stop in to see Barbara @ French Ethereal. You will love romantic style with French elements in her little Texas home.

Stop in to see Laura @ Decor To Adore. She shares a darling Octoberfest tablescape she created for her son's birthday. So cute.
Laura is an incredible seamstress. Check out her period costumes when you visit her blog.

That is it for today.
I'm so glad that you stopped by. There will be much more inspiration throughout the week.
