My favorite time to create seasonal tablescapes is during the autumn months.

It’s a time of nesting and creating warm and cozy spaces in our homes. I can’t wait to share one of my favorite fall tablescapes with you today.

Bringing Outdoor Elements Inside

My favorite way to bring the feeling of fall indoors is to use plenty of outdoor elements when creating a tablescape. For this particular autumn table, I used pumpkins, mums, and a little moss.

The great thing about bringing outdoor elements into your home is that it’s so EASY! The colors are absolutely gorgeous this time of year. I love the warmth these seasonal pumpkins and mums bring to this fall tablescape.

What are some of your favorite outdoor elements this time of year?

Pumpkins… Lots of Pumpkins!

Let’s be real.

I did go a little crazy for these pumpkins when I took my pictures.

It could have been the passion I have for pumpkins that made me do it. Of course, I will take a large pumpkin or two off the table when it comes time for dinner. I promise!

Starting a small pumpkin patch last fall was such a big accomplishment for me, The white and green pumpkins you see here were from my garden.

Marvelous Mums to Brighten Up the Table

I love the warm-colored mums I chose for my warm and cozy fall tablescape. They play off the white pumpkins perfectly.

Add Moss to Your Centerpiece

A great way to hide the plant containers was to add moss in between the pumpkins and mums.

    Your table is just breath taking Kim. The mix of the colors you chose and the textures are the perfect combination.
    I love that you grew your own pumpkins too. I would love to do this, but I think it takes a lot of space. I would love to ear more about your growing experience sometime.

    Love, love, love this gorgeous tablescape Kim and just added it to my Fall boards too. All the pumpkins are super cute and I love the way you added the pop of color with the mums too. Each layer of texture is amazing and really makes it all feel cozy. You did such a great job on everything! Hugs, CoCo

    I love this cozy table dressed for fall , November is such a beautiful month I don’t like to
    rush over November on my way to Christmas.
    I know many who are starting to get their Christmas decorating going I think they miss the bounty of
    fall and Thanksgiving.
    Of course this makes me far behind when it comes to getting decorations up for Christmas!
    I so enjoy your beautiful blog Kim

      I know what you mean Alexis. It’s that fine line. I have always decorated for Christmas on Black Friday. But I may go a little early this year by transitioning first, without going full on Christmas. My mind changes daily!

    Your table setting is beautiful! It’s Fall back an hour tonight, so you get an extra hour of sleep – yeah! We use to own a house in Home that we sold three years ago to buy a home in Hawaii. I’ve seen your home and your garden is incredible! We live in Olalla, so we are very close to your home. The leaves are so vivid red and yellow this Fall. Love this time of year!

      You are practically my neighbor! Olalla is so close. And yes, I did mess that up. And my mom always taught me to use the “fall back and spring ahead” rule. I don’t know what I was thinking, but thank you for setting me straight. I always love getting an extra hour added to my life, at least for just a little bit.

      Thank you Carol. We added the window seat to the room just a few years ago and it has made such a big difference.
