Here’s a few pictures of my fall-decorated dining room. I had a blast putting it together – just in time for my daughters’ birthdays and Halloween.
Hope you like it!
I just love the play of the heirloom pumpkins against the silver candlestick and European sack linen.
The graphics of this non-working Big Ben clock on my mantle add some playfulness to the formal room.
Okay, so I have a clock thing . . . This one is adorable, and perfect when perched upon these 18th century French books.
These candlesticks are a favorite auction find. They’re from a church alter and are the perfect scale for my 11′ ceilings.
The mantle. (The bull’s eye mirror is from my grandmother. This spot is exactly where she always had it. When I look through it, it takes me back to my time as a little girls, fascinated by my distorted reflection in the glass.)
The sparkling, amber branches give off the perfect warm, fall glow. We leave them on all night as nightlights. (The dining room is the nexus of the house. With 4 doors in and out, you can’t get anywhere in our house without going through the dining room!)
I love adding an unexpected element to a table vignette. This vintage print was just perfect for my fall composition. The little mouse makes me happy, too!
The sideboard was also my grandmother’s, and also in exactly the same spot where she had it.
Thanks for reading!

Love it all! My hanging light fixture I bought at the barn is going to be perfect. Will send pics when project is completed. Treva Siedling
Can’t wait to see it, Treva!
That is just beautiful. Lovely how you worked in the really traditional elements and got everything looking so lush and current.
I just love using traditional pieces and giving them a twist. Thanks!
Virginia, this is so pretty! LOve the huge pumpkins and the lit branches! Hugs, Leena
So pretty!
