Autumn Metamorphosis in the Dining Room...Autumn Dishes!

*
*
Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!
*
Ahhh...Autumn! I love the changing of the seasons!
*
Everything is changing at my place! Not only are the greens of summer slowly giving way to the warm, golden hues of autumn...OUTSIDE...but the very same colors are changing INSIDE my home as well. This is true of my dining room at least. The light whites and bright spring greens that dominated my summer's decor have now given way to the warm, rich colors of autumn!
*
Welcome to autumn in my french country dining room!
*
*
Yes...the days are beginning to grow shorter, however the warm afternoon sun is still making its daily debut shining through the dining room window. I love how the rays of the sun look shining through the gold draperies...spilling upon the window bench and pillows!
*
Just a couple of weeks ago...this little window bench was dressed in green! A row of fluffy white and spring green pillows could be seen. Now...enter the golds, reds, and warm toasty browns!
*
*
*
*
*
Autumn leaves and brown willowy grass now fill a gold pitcher. Sitting upon the white column...they make a grand statement that autumn has arrived!!!
*
My Summer China Hutch...
*
*
The light whites and spring greens of summer on display in my china hutch...*have given way to...*the warm, rich shades of autumn.
*
My Autumn China Hutch...
*
*
My very first "act" of autumn...was to change out the dishes in my china hutch.

The darling little toile bird that seems to be sitting upon a nest of red, green, and gold ribbon and trim...is actually a tassel! Kristen from Kristen's Creations made this beautiful tassel! I love it and it really dresses up my china hutch!
*
*
*
*
*
You know...I really do love my white and green dishes but it's so sweet to be able to bring out my autumn dishware to enjoy for awhile as well!
*

Yes...autumn has found its way into my little french country dining room! I'm enjoying the warm, rich colors of the new season! (Ps...my next little project is to find some pretty fabric to cover the back of my china hutch. Ahhh...a girl's work is never done! Hehe!)
* 
I hope to share more of my autumn dining room with you this week...so please come back again for a visit! I love having you, my friends!!!
*
*
*I am joining these lovely parties today...
*
*
Tea Pot and Tea Things Tuesday...co-hosted by Pam over at A Breath of Fresh Air
**
Thank you so much, dear ladies...for hosting these lovely parties for us to enjoy!
*
Well my friends, I'm so glad that you dropped by for a visit today! I hope you enjoyed seeing the autumn metamorphosis in my french country dining room...and a few of my autumn dishes! Please leave me a note and let me know that you were here...I would love to pay you a visit!

  13. Wow! I've never thought of taking out my summer dishes for fall dishes! What a great idea!

  14. Chari the light coming from the window and dancing in you dining room is just beautiful!! I don't think I had ever seen a view of your dining room like this looking into the other rooms. I love it!!

    Changing out your dishes in your china closet. Girl you are amazing! It looks beautiful! I never thought about changing for the seasons though I am not sure I have dishes that would look seasonal- all my dishes are full of pink roses- oh wait! my wedding dishes!!! Do you have time to pop over and change them out for me- you do such a terrific job of staging!!

    I love your painted floors! Are they grey? Blue? so beautiful-

    that sitting area in front of the window is just so full of comfort and looks just the perfect place!

    Ok now I need to go back and study some more of these fantastic pictures of yours!

    bee blessed

  16. Hi Chari, Your little bird tassel is perfect with those rich autumn colors, and your hutch looks so cozy, with dishes ready to warm us up on a cold fall night! The whole room is pretty and inviting. Don't you love living with a change of seasons? I don't think I would be happy where the climate is the same year round. Linda

  17. Hi Chari! I don't know that I've seen your little window seat before. What a great place to sit in the sun when winter arrives. I'm a fall/winter person, so of course, I love how your china cupboard is all changed up! Enjoy the new week. Sally

  24. Hi Chari, I love the new look in your beautiful hutch! The greens and whites were perfect for Spring and Summer but this is PERFECT for Fall! I may do the same thing, thanks for the inspiration!!! XO, Pinky

  25. Your hutch is lovely for summer and for fall, too. I used to change out my Welsh Dresser and put the Spode Pink Tower on display for Autumn...but one year, they just kind of stayed there...and now they've been there for years. Your post kind of inspires me to make a change again. Thanks for the inspiration of your charming design. Cherry Kay

  26. Oh Chari, Your autumn dishes are fabulous! I love the plates with the leaves border! The reds and oranges and golds are so rich! You know, I thought a china hutch was for storage; I didn't realize it really was decor itself that would be changed seasonally. I'll bet you change it again for Christmas, right? You are so talented and have such creativity...and lots and lots of "pretties!" Have a wonderful week as you welcome autumn!
    Blessings, Beth
