Pumpkins and Polka Dots

With this year's autumn decorating I decided to try something other than the typical orange/red/yellow leaves and super-sized orange pumpkins.  
On my fall mantel I used subdued creams and brown.
My outdoor decor ( that you will see in a few days) is done in grey, yellow and navy blue.  

And my kitchen decor??  What did I use there??


You'll not see any orange here - only the cutest little white pumpkins and my collection of red and white polka-dotted dishes!
I threw in some other  favourite red things too, including this mini-frames with little pictures of my munchkins.


I bought these fake white pumpkins-on-a-stick on my first visit to Hobby Lobby this past weekend.  Man- why did it take me so long to visit that place?  And the deals they were having! OMG.  I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!!


Polka-dotted friends sign??  Michaels - 1 dollar.  


This cookie jar is my latest spotty acquisition.  It looks really comfy along side my dotty mini-milk pitcher.  


More little pumpkins - balanced upon my shiny red candlesticks.


I love this jug.  My mother gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago.  I dolled it up with some fake red sunflowers from the craft store.


Here is a view of the middle 2 shelves.  
Oooohhh - those dots and pumpkins make me smile!


And here's the whole she-bang.    I tend to re-accessorize these shelves (built by my hubby's grandfather many moons ago) about 2 months.  I think they'll stay this way until the big changes for Christmas......




. . . . . . unless of course some Hallowe'en inspiration hits. . . . .

Cheers,

Bronwyn

  1. Those upside down bowls are so cute! The perfect spot for a little white pumpkin.

    I have a single bowl like this that I pull out for Valentine's day. Polka dots are such a happy pattern :)

    Looking forward to seeing your porch decked out for fall!

  2. I love all the red splashes! Actually, I don't decorate for fall, except for a wreath on my front door! I probably will get some rotten fruit thrown at me for saying this, but I don't like fall colors, except on trees, lol!
