Join me for a kitchen tour,
full of Fall Fun!
Ok, I admit it, I went overboard. I honestly, can't help myself, as I *LOVE* Fall!
You'll hear me saying this from time to time...MORE IS BETTER!!
Less is more, is *NOT* in my vocabulary! ;)
There's a lot going on in this kitchen, but honestly that's what I love about it. I have to love my kitchen, or I am not going to want to cook in it, so I have made it cozy and warm. I love that there is a lot of light in this kitchen, especially when we have dark-rainy days. There is a big window above the sink and a big skylight above, which allows a lot of natural light to come through.
I added a mirror above the table and hung a wreath using wire ribbon. See the twig cones? I added some fall lights and garland to dress it up.
I wish my pictures were better, but this kitchen glows at night with warmth. Above the kitchen window I added a Happy Halloween sign and a bunch of pumpkins and gourds.
Love the range and hood! By the way, I hung my picture above the range using a Command Hook. Yes - they even work on stone. :)
A close-up of the cones.
Here is Mr. Bistro Man, I love him!! Isn't he cute holding some dried corn for the season?
A view from the Family Room.
I love the black and orange colors together.
I couldn't leave the top cabinets undressed, so I added the Autumn sign, some wheat, and a fall arrangement.
You may recall that I made this arrangement last year, it now sits on the kitchen table.
Michael's had these little pumpkins and I thought they were adorable all sparkly and shimmery, so they now sit on the counter-top.
On the other side of the cabinets, I've added Mr. Roo, some pumpkins, and a Pumpkins sign.
I love candles....

When I first began my fall decorating, I had these two lamps on the table, but then changed it out with the twig/lit cones.
I found these cute wood acorns at Tuesday Morning and placed them in the cake holder.
Another look at my little pumpkins from Michael's.
I found two shelves at Ross for $11.99 and decorated them using my fall plates and two topiaries and pumpkins on either side.
I like displaying my fall platter.
Isn't this pumpkin cute? I dressed it up by adding leaves around the base.
Ross has a really good selection of pumpkins. If I did a pumpkin post and showed you my collection from Ross, you would be amazed at the variety I have found there.
I got these wood pumpkins from Michael's.
Pumpkin Pasta from Big Lots.
Please excuse the black runner with the bar-stools sitting on it. It is there so the kids won't scratch the floors. I need to find a runner that matches my big area rug in the dining area.
Lots of counter space for prepping and cooking.
I used Command Hooks to hang my wreaths on the glass doors.
I found the Autumn Blessings sign at HomeGoods. You may recall that sign hanging from my pot rack at the VA house during Fall. ;)
A close-up!
I placed little Miss Pumpkin Girl on top of the Dress Form.
I found the Dress Form at Ross for $39.00 and the apron was $8.99. Now I can change the apron for the seasons.
I bought these little Halloween characters at HomeGoods and placed them on top of the cabinets in the desk area of the kitchen. The kids love them!
Chillin' in the kitchen! ;)
