MOVE OVER PUMPKINS! Make a little room for pears this time of year too!
Pears, in season, are the most scrumptious perfummy fruit. Their gorgeous color's range from earthy brown to jewel-toned red. They have an artistic and elegant shape. No wonder they are a popular decorating element...
Pears are a culinary star! Their great mild flavor plays nicely in both sweet and savory dishes!
Today's tablescape is in homage to the beautiful and luscious pear!
The table is saturated with Autumn colors. Browns, rusts and golds... lots of yellow/gold! The colors are mixed with organic elements reminiscent of a walk in the woods!
Wanting the hand hewned barn beam table to play a part of the overall table design, no tablecloth was used.
Instead, two burlap runners are placed intersecting each other to make "placemats". This is a great base for the other elements of the table. I often purchase 2 identical runners to achieve this look~ it is a favorite!
Grapevine chargers (Pottery Barn) give a twiggy feel to the table. I love to decorate with "sticks and twigs".
If you cannot find these chargers, you can also use real grapevine wreaths as chargers.
Stacks of colorful dishes in varying shapes and sizes make wonderful towers for a hand painted pear bowls (HomeGoods AND Pier 1).
The burnt orange dinner plates (Olde Millhouse Shop) have striking edges. Square yellow/gold plates (Wegman's) and burnt orange plates with a lovely raised dot edge (Olde Millhouse Shop) give interest and height to this stack.
They are topped off with detailed green leaf dishes (HomeGoods) and beautifully shaped hand painted pear bowls (HomeGoods).
This stack evokes the coming colors of Autumn!
Bittersweet napkin rings (Olde Millhouse Shop) are wrapped around napkins with a falling leaf motif (HomeGoods). They rest on the side of the grapevine charger.
SG TIP: If you can't find napkin rings you like, collect Autumn floral pics and fashion them into pretty napkin rings.
Vintage flatware with variegated honey colored handles continue the color scheme.
Complimenting the dishes are gold bubble goblets (HomeGoods). I love the style and "hand" of these glasses. They pair so well with Autumnal hues!
The inspiration for this table abounds in the centerpiece.
Bartlett, Bosc, Anjou, Comice and Seckel pears are grouped with grapevine balls, colorful leaves and berry pics in a large wooden dough bowl.
This handmade dough bowl is a favorite container to decorate as the seasons change! The bowl has a patina that can only be acquired after many years of use.
Gold softly striped candles stand tall on stout wooden candlesticks. Candles are a must at my tables! I love the light and atmosphere they set... even during the day!
This table smells good enough to eat! The aroma from all the pears is intoxicating!
THE MENU
Cream Of Wild Mushroom Soup
Constructed Pear Salad
Roasted Pork Loin With Honey Mustard Sauce
Baked Potato Fans
Roasted Green Beans With Garlic Oil
Pear Galette
Chardonnay (with a hint of pear)
Coffee/Tea
the perfect setting as always!

You know, with all the antique white and pastels popular these days, it is really refreshing to see these warm and cheerful autumn colors. And bravo on the menu. You have captured the spirit of fall!

Yvonne, your autumn themed table represents the beautiful colors of the season to perfection. I like the fact that the table decorations and dishes don't scream bright orange. Sometimes I like more muted fall colors. Great job, as usual.------ Shannon
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You have a wonderful talent and I enjoy here in Tennessee! Mary
ReplyDeletePears are the perfect Fall fruit adn you have them displayed perfectly. The stacked pear salad looks amazing. I have always wanted to try this, I am now inspired to do so, xo Kathysue
ReplyDeleteYou've done a beautiful job on your tablescape. Sometimes I think that Fall tables end up with a hard edge caused by colors that jar the eye. You however, have skillfully incorporated just the right shades and hues to make this a softer, more sophisticated take on Autumn. The greens play a huge roll as well as the abundant use of texture. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteYvonne, another beautiful inspired table. Love the pear shaped dishes, oh to have a Marshalls close. :-( Than again maybe I'm better off lol.. love the way you've stacked the different shaped dishes. Thank you for sharing the recipe, a must try. hugs ~lynne~

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful rustic table, Yvonne! Perfect for fall. I particularly love the napkins you selected and the candles. As always, a lovely job. I did pears tonight, too, and I need to be sure and copy your recipe.
ReplyDeleteXO,

Allow me to rephrase that... I used pears in the tablescape. I don't cook much! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYvonne, such a fabulous fall table. I do adore pears and love how you have used them in the centerpiece, the napkins the bowls!

ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteI'd say, dear friend, you've picked a perfect "pairing" with the green leaf dish and the pear bowl. Oh~h~h so beautiful are those hues for our Seasonal changing weather and decor! Pears are my pick of faux fruit for home decor! Thank you for sharing this lovely tablescape! As always, when I visit StoneGable, inspiration abounds!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tablescape, love the color scheme and the use of pears, it's stunning!
ReplyDeleteThat is one "tower" of plates, alright! Wow. I'm just lusting for the pear salad and the dessert. All of you bloggers who have a Home Goods store -- I'm so envious -- I must move to a town that has one! But foremost, I want to tell you that the photo of the pears lined up is just outstanding!
