Garden Room Sitting Area in Harvest Color

Hard to believe it's mid-August, but I'm ready to start thinking about Fall decor. But before I bring out the pumpkins and fall leaves, I'm sharing a few last minute late-summer spaces. The garden room is filled with late deep summer color with golds, greens, and dark reds in harvest hues.

My go-to quilt for late summer on the white wicker settee is one I found last year on Amazon that's a bold Boho patchwork with golds, greens, burgundy and teals. It's perfect as a background for sunflower themes.

I made the brown floral pillows about 10 years ago and with a khaki ticking stripe, they pair well with the quilt and botanical sunflower pillow.

I'm using one of my favorite vintage crate/trays that's filled with some majolica pitchers, and vintage garden books. My medium size white washed olive bucket is the perfect size for a faux late summer sunflower arrangement. The two little leaf plates are vintage. 

My dried sunflower late summer/ early fall twig wreath is a reminder that fall is really on it's way. I was out today and actually saw that some of the tree leaves are showing a tinge of color. The dogwoods are first to make the change. I always get excited when I see the leaves starting to show some reds and gold. 

You can't really see the wired metal basket under the coffee table, so I brought it up on the wicker chair.

Bee skeps on the vintage chippy step stool.

Here's the baker's rack with some late summer majolica pitchers and teapots.

I love using pears for bowl filler in late summer. It's a bit early for me to bring out the pumpkins, but just give it a week or two.

My wooden "seed" box is back filled with majolica plates, a vintage fruit wall hanger, seed packets and a vintage candy tin. Below is a vintage harvest apple biscuit jar.

Vintage embroidered "flower" pillows from the thirties are perfect for early fall. The yellow floral says "Oct. 27, 1935". It must have been someone's birthday or anniversary.

This area is always my fun spot where I can go crazy with vintage goodies.

Here are a few more posts on late summer/ early fall.

Are you ready for fall or are you dug in to summer?

Maybe we can do both...

*After about 10 years with my email notification company; they have given me three weeks to come up with an alternative to letting you know about new posts. They are closing shop and I've been searching for alternatives. Most of the current email addresses are defunct or degraded, so for now I'm starting over with "MailChimp". If you'd like to receive notices I'm letting you know that it will need a new signup. I'm so I'm sorry to ask, but if you would like a notification I'd appreciate you signing up again. I usually post mid-week, so be sure and stop by for the latest. You'll find the sign up as you scroll down my blog (on the right). Thanks everyone, please bear with me while I learn this new system!!
