White Pumpkin on a Plate Tablescape

This seasonal tablescape employs smooth bright whites together with rustic textures. Love the layers beginning with the dinner plate beneath the silky grey linen napkin beneath the white dessert plate beneath the plain white pumpkin with dark green leaf garnish. Put this on top of a bright white linen table covering along with the burnished flatware and rustic centerpiece for ultra-fun contrast.

Huge Bunches of Color on the Front Porch

Nothing brightens up entry to your home more than huge bunches of Autumn colors on the front porch. But even if you don’t have a front porch, use space right along your sidewalk to set up your arrangement.  Chrysanthemums in a wide array of seasonal colors look so smashing with the orange pumpkins!
