FALL VIGNETTES FOR THE KITCHEN






Using Sunflowers and Hydrangeas



I wanted to do a little fall spruce up in the kitchen for the weekend. I love picking up seasonal flowers in the supermarket floral department, inexpensive and convenient. The sunflowers and hydrangeas caught my eye, perfect for transitioning from summer to fall. I still have my table vignette to do, pulling out containers from storage and I’ll do that this weekend. For the island I took my wine barrel lazy susan that I use on the table and put it on the island.

A gift from my son and daughter-in-law


 
I love making a centerpiece using this and it sure works for a casual full dinner table

Pulled out my roo


Added the sunflowers to a blue pitcher for a pop of color


Red plaid napkins

Added my Anthro sugar and creamer and there you have, easy and simple. I’m sure this will change a dozen times for the Autumn season.




Dried flowers to keep from a fresh picked mini bouquet from Connor



Now on the table are pieces from a RL Megan tea set



Using champagne buckets to hold topiaries and a favorite container for the hydrangeas.






All ready for the weekend! Thanks for your visit, hope you’ll take a minute to leave a comment and let me know you stopped for a visit.

  11. Oh, I love that Let them eat cake vase! I also love Hydrangeas, so that entire vignette stole my heart. These little glimpses into your kitchen were so much fun for me. The French Provencal fabrics and the worn wood table had me swooning. Have a good weekend. laurie

  14. Your kitchen is so pretty, Emily, and I love the rooster--I have a similar one in my kitchen window! Also I am a sucker for sunflowers. I've had some in the garden that I've been picking, but the rainy season has started here, so don't know how much longer they will last outside. Your look beautiful in the blue container. Nice to hear from you today!
