Fall Farmhouse Side Table with Natural Elements

Welcome to the beginning of fall decorating in our home! I hadn’t planned to do much this year but I picked up a new to me side table the other day and decided to pull some natural elements together to create this Fall side table vignette.

I love old photographs and the history that is behind each one, even if I don’t know the people or the history. I picked up the larger photo of the children and the teacher for a few dollars during a recent antique shop visit, and the other school house picture was a find from my recent trip to Pheonas Vintage Fall Market.

Using Natural Fall Elements for Fall Decorating

Using natural fall elements make decorating for fall cheaper and brings in a bit of what is happening outside in nature. So, I tucked some Sweet Annie in the Longaberger basket, gathered some vintage books, the old slate chalkboard, some feathers from my son’s collection and a few white pumpkins to round out the side table vignette.

I really have craved a bit of the darker colors this season and while I still love the white, bright, airy look, it is nice to have a bit of change. I suspect you will be seeing more of these colors and tones throughout our home during this fall season.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Sarah

    Sitting at the computer with the windows open and the feeling of fall is heavy in the air. The leaves are falling quickly to the ground today as the wind speed picks up and storms linger in the horizon. My husband is outside changing the oil in our truck and the children are spending a little time watching a favorite show. That leaves a little time for me to finally update the blog.

    I woke up to the sound of an alarm, rolled out of bed and headed to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. The home was still dark and not a single person was awake besides me. I grabbed a light jacket, a cup of coffee and headed out the door.

    It’s a slight chill in the air with heavy filled foggy mornings that beckon me outside to enjoy the crisp crunch of the already fallen brown leaves from the tall Walnut tree in the front yard. Goldenrod stands tall across the street and the big leaves of the Maple are just starting to fade from their vibrant green colors. The stores are filling with mums and pumpkins in all sizes and colors and the apple trees are loaded with plenty for all. Fall must be near.

    Slow Down. Get Cozy. Take Pleasure in the Simple Things

    November. A season where the remaining leaves are golden yellow, rusty reds and the path beneath my feet feels the air with the sound of leaves crunching. Cool breezes blow across the way, morning are filled with heavy fog in the low valleys and evening sunsets come much earlier. The first glowing fire of the season has already been made in the fireplace and the wood pile has dwindled and been added to.
