A fall tablescape

While I was changing out flower arrangements and fall leaves at Balsam Mountain Preserve, I decided to set a table for two out on the porch at the Boarding House.

Pin It

Everything has been just gorgeous here this week, and definitely the peak for leaf viewing.

I went with a simple setting since you can’t compete with the scenery here:-)

I found the beaded placemats at Pier 1, and thought they would be perfect here to add a little bling, but not too sparkly. 

Mikasa “Italian Countryside” square plates have been my go-to this season as well, combined with “Italian Countryside” flatware, and Fostoria “Argus” iced tea glasses. 

The napkins are part of the “succulent” collection of table linens at World Market, and I also bought the runner — which y’all know I never get anything matching, but just could not resist. 

Isn’t this a glorious place to dine?

It should be obvious why I love the opportunity for freelance design work here:-)

    Anita, you need a guest cottage. People would pay for the view.
    Here in Florida, I miss spring and fall colors. Thanks for sharing.
