It's Finally Fall in my Kitchen/Hearth Room

I hope Everyone enjoyed the weekend! 

 Can you believe it's October already?  

It is really feeling like Fall around here with the Gorgeous weather and the fact that we attended the Chiefs Football game yesterday.  They LOST but we had such a fun time! 

 So, I thought I had better share my Fall Kitchen and Hearth Room before the Witches and Goblins take over!

 I'm loving the way my drapes have softened up this room.  They were the perfect addition! 

 And I shared my Pillows with you last week.

  Yes if you are wondering, the dogs are 

finding them quite comfy.  

Where did my new Dough Bowl end up?

Over in this corner by the Kitchen table and Hutch reside. 

 Do you see it up there?  

There it is on top of the Hutch.

  I tried it in a few places like the granite island and over by the built in Hutch but I loved the warm colors over by the table.  The HUGE Tole platter is a Flea Market find for $9.00.  

I love adding to my collection and I'm always on the "Hunt" for these trays.

I tucked a few fall leaves and twigs into the corners.

Mr. Rooster has been with me for a while moving around the Kitchen.  He looks good here for Fall don't you think?

I dressed up one of my Nell Hills' Lanterns for Fall.  I placed a Pottery Barn Pumpkin candle on a short candle holder and arranged some fall foilage inside.  

 More Fall flowers grace the top of the lantern all tied up with lots of rbbon.  

 This cute dishtowel was an Estate Sale find.  I wanted to layer my table runners and this was just the perfect compliment for the other fabrics.  The bottom runner was a remnant, the next layer is from Williams Sonoma and the Little Gold Roosters holding it all down were from my Design Center.

 Let's move around to the other side of the room. 

 I've kept my Built in Hutch pretty much the same and just added a few Fall touches.  

Another Tole tray has a new home in the back of the Hutch.

 A few Fall leaves are placed inside is all you need to give a hint of the season.

My new cute cow print is leaning against the back splash.  

I placed these tiny pumpkin candles in a Mason jar for fun.  

I have sort of pared down the accessories on the built in cabinets that flank the fireplace.  

I grouped the items together to make more impact.  Sometimes too many things make me crazy! 

 I took down the pictures that I had mixed in with the plates.  

I'm always looking for new pretty plates to hang up! 

 I just placed a cute little pumpkin in a basket here.

And another one on the other side.

Three Pottery Barn candles from a few years ago sit on top of the mantle with a few leaves and green pottery.

I wanted to share my little secret ottoman with you. 

 There is a tray that slides out from underneath.  

See the hinged compartment?  

How cool is that?  

Hmmmm, some people don't agree I guess.  

He looks a little bored with the whole thing.  

 Doesn't it all look cozy for Fall?  

I am definitely enjoying this room!  

I think it's my favorite!  

And I got it finished just in time to redecorate for Halloween!  

Until Next Time,

Collections: Black Tole Trays

 I have been in love with Tole Trays since 

the day I walked into my BFF's green apple office that was covered with them.  I started collecting them at Estate Sales refusing to pay more than a few dollars for each of them.

 My collection has grown and I originally wanted to display them in the Kitchen but I really have a lack of wall space.  

This is my pantry door that I painted with chalkboard paint way back in January.  I am standing on my back stairs as I take this picture.  The kitchen is to the left and the back hall, garage door and laundry room are to the right.

 So, I thought why not hang them around the pantry door?  

I adore how unique each of them are.  

Some shabby and worn,

some small and shiny.

Each one hand painted.  

The history of the Tole Tray is not certain but they think that they originated in the UK around the late 1700's at the School of Arts.  The decorative artists were being taught how to load up their brushes with more than one color of paint to create the petals and leaves of the flowers.  

I don't know how old my Tole Trays are and I really don't care about the value of the trays.  

I just love the way they look.

To hang them I attached a self adhesive plate holder on the back of some.

And on the small trays I used a spot of hot glue and a paperclip.

I can always add to my wall

 and I look forward to the hunt 

at future Estate Sales!
