Hello my friends!

*

Welcome to the 116th run of "Sunday Favorites"
*
I hope that you're having a wonderful weekend!  We are having another "beautiful weather weekend" here in colorful Colorado.  I'm spending a little time outdoors...just soaking in the sunshine and cooler weather!  With burgers cooking on the grill, moderate temps, and my honey here to share a leisurely weekend...well, it just doesn't get any better!!! 
*
  This week for Sunday Favorites, I thought I would share one of my "favorite" posts called "An Autumn Metamorphosis in the Dining Room"...originally posted on September 19, 2010.  I am also using this post to join in with a couple of blog parties;  Seasonal Sundays hosted by The Tablescaper and Metamorphosis Monday hosted by Between Naps on the Porch.  You will find their links are at the end of this post.  Please go by and pay them a visit...I know that you'll be glad you did! 
*
  Well my friends...I'm looking forward to seeing your Sunday Favorites posts this week and visiting with you!  You can sign up for the party at the end of this post!

Have a super Sunday!

"An Autumn Metamophosis in the Dining Room"
**

*

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!)
*
Update...September 10, 2011:  I have actually covered the back walls of my hutch since I originally posted this.  I found the prettiest toile scrapbooking paper.  If you would like to see how my hutch turned out...just click HERE.

***Just a little note: Sunday Favorites Criteria***

*

When I first started the Sunday Favorites meme, my initial thought was to offer a solution for getting a post out on the weekend without having to spend alot of time doing so...weekends are just a busy time for most of us! Copying and pasting a previous post is so quick and easy. Not only is this a quick and easy solution to the busy weekends, but it's also an opportunity to dig back into our blog archives and share a favorite "past" post once again! Many of us spend alot of time and effort creating a post and it just seems a shame that it is viewed only once and then forgotten about!

*

I would like to reiterate that Sunday Favorites is a meme about sharing or revisiting a post from the PAST!

*

Thank you!!!
