~Goldenrod Autumn~...an Autumn Tablescape

*

*

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!

~Goldenrod Autumn~

*

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
 in its entirety...you can click HERE.

The wooden dough bowl filled with autumn's bounty continues the
 "rustic luxe" theme onto the table.

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! 

*

A khaki colored hemstiched table runner makes for a nice
 neutral foundation for this autumn table.

A simple amber colored goblet works nicely with the
 goldenrod color theme.

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!

This pretty acorn shaped dish came from Dollar Tree
 a few years ago.  I love the embossed lines of the acorn and
 leaves...and the warm, rich reds and greens on the
 oak leaves.
