Small touches to create a Fall mantle scape in my kitchen

I added a burlap wreath and decorative apples to my mantle design to create more of a Fall feel. The kitchen mantle already had my watercolors and frame .

I think the Burlap strapping draped through the mantle scape pulled the Autumn look together. Adding a few chestnuts from the homestead yard  added a bit more texture; but only gathered a few from my yard this year. The squirrels got there first!
Happy Fall!

AN APPLE A DAY: MY COUNTRY KITCHEN



Thanks for visiting the Brayton Homestead!
here is my Fall table setting for a family get together... 


an old linen tablecloth. I just started to use my vintage linens.


kept thinking I should save them for another occasion. Now I think that all diners are special
and deserve beautiful linens. 



Somerset, Ma, where I live in the big old homestead,
is known for making pottery. The section in town where the pottery was made is called
"Pottersville" 


I am lucky to own a piece of Somerset pottery, here filled with apples.


It is so easy to put together a simple table. I did not even need to purchase flowers just put the
paper mache apples into the crock
don't they look real?


another view, this time to the kitchen fireplace, with a garland a sugared apples...
Hope you enjoyed , and remember to try to make each meal feel special.

TAKE A LOOK: MY CLIENT"S KITCHEN!


Sharing a client's kitchen I decorated.
This project included selecting all finishes: tile, counter tops, lighting, paint, furniture,
window treatments, art, accessories, etc...


Roosters are the theme all year round with beaded fruit and greens perfect
for fall into the holiday season.


Tiffany style ceiling lights add a vintage glow to the room to enhance the
more functional down spot lighting a kitchen requires.
Hope you enjoy and have a great week...

Fall Apples

Sitting on top a vintage mirror
sits my fall apple kitchen centerpiece ~
a chippy old basket lined with red checked napkins
holding a bounty of glittery apples ......

Of course, there had to be freshly baked
chocolate chip cookies
to celebrate....
Peak past the basket
hydrangeas are drying nicely from summer
vintage needlepoint
and a lovely pillow from Petit Coterie
rest on a handpainted bench used to stay toasty
near my 213 year old kitchen fireplace...

ENJOY
