What's on the sideboard this month...

Happy Weekend Everyone...

This is a rainy and cool one here in SW Missouri. But after this year's extreme heat and drought it will be a long time before I complain about rainy and cool. nope...happy for the change in seasons here. I wanted to share a few more spaces around the house that I've been decorating for Fall, so a rainy gray day doesn't effect the hall sideboard. It's always gray and hard to photo since there isn't any natural light. I always feel like I have to start off with an apology for the photos. They're never very good because I have to have all the bright lights on just to get anything remotely usable. But here goes...





I changed out my galvanized flower bucket
 for a wheat sheaf and some Fall apples and pears.
(oooh, and I found this great burlap-y linen wired ribbon, too)









I added in a fruit lithograph from the early 1900's, to the vintage window hanging there. I love that old window as a backdrop to my seasonal displays. Actually, I have a pair of these old lithographs, companion pieces, but this is my favorite with all the Autumn fruit in still life. I bought them both for about $40 at an antique mall here. I think the frames were the deterrent for them not selling at a much higher price The frame had been painted gold, but I decided to distress them down, and then realized they had been white underneath. I like the finish much better now. White, but with some of the gold still showing.



Here's my latest velvet pumpkin baby that I bought yesterday; so yummy in a creamy antique white. It has the real pumpkin stem which I love.




Still using the old metal tray with fruit. 
Love these dark rich colors for Autumn.


and my wine crates...



As you can see, things didn't change a lot with my sideboard tweaking. Just changed out the sunflower theme for a more Fall feeling with the fruit, wheat, berries, and pumpkins.

(July 2012)

I noticed while I was out yesterday
 that the mum and pumpkin stand is opening, 
I'll be there soon!!!

    You feel like you should apologize for the pictures?? I know that feeling, but in my case it's appropriate. Yours, however, are great! We'd never know you were working with a lighting "situation". The fall vignette is so pretty!

    Love your new white velvet pumpkins, Debra! I also love your tureen. It looks a lot like the one I picked up at GW a month or so ago. I'm using mine in my Fall decorating, too.

    Oh is that ever gorgeous. I love how you always add so many beautiful natural elements. I am so jealous of your cooler weather. I dream of rain and cool days. I fear it will never come for us.

    Hey Debra!
    Lucky you with the rain and coolness...107 here today. You know we have 80 degree weather sometimes on Christmas,so I do not know why I act surprised with the heat in Fall :)I love the side board,I too mixed my whites and creams with autumn rust and golds. I really need to get those photos posted of my Fall house. I am so glad Debra is happy with her order,I hope she sells out quickly and comes back for more.

    Smiles and Blessings,
    sheila

    Your autumn display looks wonderful! I've been kicking myself for 2 days since I passed up a wicker jug like yours at Junk Bonanza. Darn!

    Thanks again for the feature. I've been entertaining lots of new visitors at 911 the past few days. :@

    Debra,
    Ah~h~h this vignette is as refreshing as the rain and cooler temperatures here on the Prairie!!!I adore the use of fruits in your galvanized bucket!!! The renewal of the frame hue makes a huge impact on your vintage print! I agree, that metal tray is gorgeous...and a perfect backdrop in this arrangement! Your new velvet pumpkin is adorable. EnJOY this weather, dear friend!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat
