Is It Time for Soup? Set A Fall Tablescape

There is something about an orange and green color combination this time of year. It really puts me in the mood for fall and the foods we love in the fall. How I love these soup tureens, large and small! I love the shape and the curved lines design. I decided to set a table without a tablecloth so the wood would show for once. It is usually covered up. Our dining room furniture was made by Stickley. The green place mats came from Pier 1 several years ago, they had this place mat in many different colors and I bought several of them.

I bought the pumpkin plates and soup tureens at Pier 1 several years ago and they are some of my favorite dishes.

They are a nice size for some hearty soup or a bowl of chili.

If you aren’t serving soup, the pumpkin plates are fun and really make a statement by themselves.

The dinner plate also came from Pier 1 several years ago. It was part of their Spice Route collection and the color was called Clove. I use this plate often in the fall.

These rattan chargers were among some of the first tablescape items I bought several years ago. I think I bought them at World Market but if you google rattan charger you can find them several places.

The green plastic goblet came from Pier 1 several years ago. Can’t remember where I bought the amber glass goblets, if anyone recognizes the pattern, please let me know.

The flatware is Madeline Green flatware and I bought it at World Market some years ago. I use this flatware often this time of year.

I think the napkin rings came from Pier 1 several years ago. I bought the plaid napkins there or at HomeGoods. I wanted a bit more color and pattern on this table and these napkins work well with the greens and oranges.

I love these little pumpkin place card holders. I have had them for a while. They came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago.

The large pumpkin soup tureen and pumpkin platter provide an easy solution for the centerpiece on this table.

It’s fairly easy to find small salt and pepper sets. I have had this set for a long time, I can’t remember where they came from.

Here are the same dishes in a table setting from several years ago with a very different feel. A busy tablecloth and a few other different pieces really make a difference. I think I like the setting from this year better.

Time to find some delicious soup recipes!

A Mountain Cabin Table with Pine Cones

Decided to set a nice table while we are on vacation at our cabin. When we furnished the cabin, the theme was pine cones and green and brown. I had fun finding dishes and other items that matched the decorating scheme.

I searched for pine cone plates and finally found these and I love the pine cone design. They are handmade by Emerson Creek Pottery in Bedford, Virginia. They aren’t cheap but I have learned from experience that you get what you pay for and I wanted good quality that would last. Can’t remember where I found the brown place mats.

Emerson Creek Pottery has several plate designs that I really like.

I also bought some small mugs and bowls.

I just wanted a plain design for the stainless flatware and I found these at HomeGoods. The pattern is Cantera and it is made by Lenox. It is 18/10 stainless so it is really good quality flatware.

I wanted brown glassware and I found these iced teas after looking for a while. They were made by the Libbey Glass Company, the Duratuff Collection, and the pattern is called Gibraltar.

I also bought some regular glasses that I wrote about in another blog post. That post is on my blog under the subject Travel. I found these glasses online at Black Forest Decor.

The brown napkins came from Sur la Table and I bought the pine cone napkin rings online at Black Forest Decor.

I brought this low green bowl from home when we were furnishing the cabin, it isn’t marked. I bought it several years ago when I was collecting pottery. Hubby gathered some pine cones for me for the centerpiece.

I use these braided jute trivets as place mats sometimes. They came from Black Forest Decor online too.

We enjoy having meals at our pine cone themed table!

Storage Ideas for a Tiny Cabin Bathroom

We have been doing a bit of redecorating at our tiny cabin. This is a photo of the tiny bathroom. There is a small shower stall around the corner to the right. We started by replacing the toilet and the floor and painting the walls and buying a new window blind. The window blind is inside the window frame to save space. Because it is such a small space we really needed to take advantage of every bit of space that was available and create storage wherever we could find a spot.

Because we share the cabin with tiny creatures and insects we wanted an enclosed storage space so we hung a storage shelf on the wall above the toilet with glass doors. It was a small space so we were limited to a small shelf. We also have a medicine cabinet at the side of the sink.

The cabin is decorated in browns and greens with a pine cone theme. I found these pine cone hooks and decided to use them in the bathroom.

I placed two just outside the shower stall so the towels could be reached easily.

I added a few more hooks wherever I could find room for them.

These pine cone hooks are behind the bathroom door.

The shower stall is small and narrow but I was able to add a couple small metal shelves to add more space.

It’s a tiny bathroom but it has everything we need. For more information about the work we did on this tiny cabin please click here and here.

A Leaves are Falling Tablescape for Fall

Won’t be Fall here in Southern California for a while but I decided that it’s time to create a few Fall tablescapes. I did this tablescape several years ago but changed it a bit this time. The leaf tablecloth and matching napkins came from HomeGoods.

The place settings are three different colors, green, tan, and paprika. I bought the plates and leaf shaped bowls at different times from different stores but they matched each other perfectly.

The leaf shaped bowls came from Sur la Table.

The salad and dinner plates came from Pier 1 several years ago. They were part of their Spice Route Collection. They still have the paprika plates for sale.

I bought the brown glass spiral chargers online but I can’t remember where. I have had them for several years and I often use them in my Fall tablescapes.

The amber flatware is made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale a few years ago. There are similar patterns available online now.

The green, tan, and paprika colored napkins under the leaf napkins came from World Market several years ago. I bought the brown metal napkin rings online probably at Pier 1 years ago.

I bought the metal leaf place card holder online several years ago, can’t remember where.

The brown goblet was made by Lenox between 1966 and 1985. It was called Antique Brown. The green goblet was made by Noritake between 1970 and 1985 and it was called Perspective Green. I bought them both on Ebay.

The tall gold glass vase that I used as a centerpiece doesn’t photograph well. It came from Pottery Barn and I filled it with fall color.

It is still warm here but this table reminds me of cool Fall days to come.
