Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!
*
I love autumn!
I love the rich, warm colors!
*
~and~
*
I love playing dishes!
*
I created an autumn table with the new goldenrod colored plates
that I found at Walmart a few weeks ago. I sure had fun with this
tablescape! I hope that you enjoy it too!

~Goldenrod Autumn~
Here we are...in my french country dining room.

As you can see...my french country dining room is dressed
in red and olive green, with accents of gold. A color palette
that hosts autumn with ease.

Not only is autumn my favorite season...but I believe that
a beautifully attired autumn table is my favorite "seasonal"
tablescape as well!

This autumn I seem to have an attraction for the
warm, rich color of goldenrod.

"Goldenrod"
*
The color goldenrod is a representation of the color of some of the
deeper gold colored goldenrod flowers.The first known recorded use of
goldenrod as a color name in English was in 1915.
(source Wikipedia)

A large pitcher with matching platter...sharing the same rich hues
as the new dinner plates...bring the warm glow of "goldenrod autumn"
to this table. Autumn pears, golden stemware, and dinner napkins
also help to bring the "goldenrod" color theme home.

Table Centerpiece...
Autumn's Bounty in a Dough Bowl
*
I placed a tall masonary candleholder with an "earthy"
colored candle in the center of a large woodendough bowl. Autumn
fruits of grapes, pears, and pomegranites...along with a few sprigs
of autumn florals, seed pods, and nuts. Deer antlers, pheasant
feathers, and a stately pheasant join the autumn mix.

This autumn, I decided upon a "rustic luxe" style of decor
for my dining room. If you would like to see my autumn dining room

The Table Linens

Two dinner napkins layered for a colorful effect. An olive
green and khaki check dinner napkin serves along with a goldenrod
colored napkin at each place setting. I love the pretty white
embroidered vine on the goldenrod colored napkin!

Goldenrod Pitcher with a Handled Platter...
*
I purchased this pretty "goldenrod" colored pitcher
and matching platter from a local gift shop several years ago.
It usually resides atop the refrigerator in my kitchen.

I love the embossed grapes, vines, and leaves on both
pieces! The pitcher and platter have an "old world" feel with
a distressed finish. You can actually see the terra cotta colored clay
bisque under the glaze in places. I also love that the platter
has handles in the shape of twisted grapevine!

oak leaves.

Hi Chari! Ok, I love the term 'rustic luxe'! Your table really nails it! You could use this for Christmas as well, just by switching a few things out. The deer antlers and pheasant feathers look sooo cool in your centerpiece. It all looks so good in your beautiful dining room, such a warm, inviting setting!! Oh, and thanks for your visit with me, I appreciate your sweet comments!!
I adore your goldenrod autumn and the rustic luxe term! You are so clever. Your dishes, stemware and charges are lovely. I luv the goldenrod pitcher and the bountiful doughbowl. It's gorgeous. The pheasant is perfect! (I want one!)
I appreciate your participation in Potpourri Friday is appreciated! Many thanks!
What a wonderful post. You do such a great job, I love it all. I have just today gone out and bought some pheasant feathers and are trying to incorporate them in my Fall decorations. Thank you for so many great ideas.
The dough bowl is such a marvelous appointment for tablescaping. I must use mine one of these days. The colors that you've used are not only wonderful for Autumn, they are perfect companions to your beautiful dining room and kitchen. Loved every moment of today's post. Thank you for inviting us to your table. Cherry Kay
