Yesterday we shared our simple and inexpensive (mostly free!) early fall touches that we added to our living room and today we will share photos of those exact same elements that we carried over into our kitchen and dining area. Just like I mentioned yesterday, for most of my fall arrangements I start with clippings from our yard. Our last four houses have had quite a bit of loropetalum so that is generally what I cut in September and then once the leaves start turning a little bit later I will clip branches of colorful maple leaves. For these arrangements I clipped a bunch of loropetalum and filled six or seven vases with them. Then I added in some of my faux fall florals to fill out the vases. About every ten days or so I will discard the loropetalum as it starts to wilt/dry and add some fresh cut pieces in to the arrangement (sometimes I can even get a full two weeks out of the loropetalum). One of my favorite tips, particularly in the fall, is to mix faux florals in with real greenery. I have had most of my fall florals for years and just pull them out each September and add them to my clippings from the yard. I have had those little purple colored pod looking ones for about 12 years now! This year I bought two packs of these lotus pods to add to my little stash of faux fall florals (I purchased them in the store and they were on sale and I think I only paid $4 total for both bundles).
I also love both buying and making fresh fall pastries and treats and they serve both as decor and yummy snacks for our family.
I didn’t even have to cover this pumpkin pastry – it was gone in no time flat! Haha!
I used a brown plaid throw on our table to add a warm cozy touch along with some texture to this area in our kitchen.
and if you missed it yesterday you can see all of these same simple autumn elements in our living room here:
