The Kitchen Is Ready For Fall!

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful week! Our weather has been really nice, still a little warm though, but we did get some good rain today. I hope it's nice wherever you are!


It's time for my fall kitchen tour! I don't have a huge kitchen, so it won't take too long...lol. However, I did take alot of pictures this evening.


As you can see Mr. golden roo is back on the island in a new reworked arrangement. I really don't know how many arrangements he has posed in, but it's alot! lol...





A closeup of Mr. Roo! Alot of you have asked about him and have wanted to buy him in an arrangement. He and his mate belonged to my cousin and are very dear to me. Unfortunately, I have not seen anymore like this pair.


He is keeping an eye on his mate! lol...


The pumpkin plate came from Hobby Lobby and I made the wheat arrangement.


Love this little metal pumpkin candle holder from Pier 1 Imports!


Love all the fall colors in these pumpkins!


I took out the black fruit canisters and brought back the gold ones! I added a little brown gel stain to them. I like the way it looks in the designs...and I almost sold these! Glad I didn't!


I made the "Fall is in the Air" frame and found the cute scarecrow at Pier 1 Imports.


Here is a view of one side of the kitchen...


And here is the other side...Sassy wanted to get in the picture!

Here is the counter by the fridge...we still love our Keurig!


I showed you this birdcage a few weeks ago...


I have been looking for a cute mug holder and found this one at Pier 1. I just love that place! The top is a rolling pin and there is a fork and spoon in the middle, you can't see them very well. I bought the mugs at Wal-mart for $1.50 each.


Here is a view from the kitchen table...

I made the pumpkin arrangement. I fell in love with that metal pumpkin at the Cracker Barrel and decided to use it in an arrangement.


A view into the living room...


Look at the sunset outside! Oh, and I am looking for some softer golden globes for my light fixtures. I have never liked the white ones and they are way to bright in my pictures. Most of the time I just have to turn them off.



Closeup of that pretty pumpkin...

The pumpkin napkin rings came from Hobby Lobby this year, I had everything else. I made the leaf place mats last year I believe. All they are is a round piece of fabric with silk leaves glued around the edges. Easy!


Now for the tops of the cabinets...Love my metal roo from where else...Hobby Lobby!

These metal pumpkins came from Kirklands...they have some great looking fall stuff too!

I filled the iron bicycle with pumpkins.


I made myself another moss ball! the tray is from...HL....


I made the sunflower arrangement...love the color it adds.

I added ribbon, leaves and a leaf embellishment to this candle.

One of my scarecrow tassels! I still have some left...let me know if you would like one.




I hope you enjoyed my fall kitchen tour! Something special is going on in here next week...I hope to tell you about it soon. Have a great rest of the week!!

  1. We have been having beautiful fall weather here.
    Your kitchen is gorgeous all dressed up for fall! Every detail is fabulous. I love your arrangements. Will you be added anymore rooster arrangements to your shop? I had my eye on the last one but by the time payday came it was sold.
    I sure wish we had a Pier one closer. The closest one is about an hour so its not too bad of a drive.

  14. Kristen,
    Your kitchen is such a treasure, full of so many wonderful things. Your fall arrangements are fabulous. The glow of your kitchen with the sun setting is absolutely lovely. I love how you decorated the top of you kitchen cabinets for Fall, I did the same thing. The one thing I love most about your home is the color palette, it is warm, elegant, yet cozy....just the way a home should be. Thanks for sharing! XO ~Liz

  21. Oh, I would kill for a kitchen like that! I don't have any space at all and not even enough room for the necessities, much less the pretties. Everything looks gorgeous ~ as usual! Wish you were closer to add a little fluff here ~ :-)

    Thanks for sharing!
