Fall is my favorite season of all! It may be the weather, Halloween, Thanksgiving or my birthday that make this season special but I look forward to it every year. I particularly love to decorate for this time of year. There is always a ton of different themes to choose from and endless supply at the stores. Here I will show you how I decorated my table this year.
I always start with a freshly cleaned table. I love looking at this table when it is clear of everything and the wood grain stands out. Once I’ve cleaned the table and had ample amount of time to look at it I head to my closet to pick out my table runner. I have a ton of table runners for every holiday. I place that on the table and then put the chargers at each seat. I have ten chairs at the moment but I always buy enough place settings for twelve in case we have a full house. Once I have placed the chargers I put a main course plate down then top it with a salad plate. I will put flatware out the day of the meal.
I look forward to picking out my salad plate for each season. This year I went with a combination of a fall truck scene and a perfect solid orange color. I feel like these plates bring the whole thing together!
Next I start to build the center of the table. I changed out the flowers from my summer table to some fall foliage. I then placed my Pioneer Woman cake stand on the runner to pull in some of the turquoise from the smaller pumpkins on the table and that is the color of the chairs as well. I have a variety of other pumpkins to fill out the table but this year I bought these galvanized pumpkins to add a farmhouse touch.
There you have it! Once you have a few key pieces it become easy to put it all together. I hope you all have as much fun getting ready for Fall as I do!
