Blue and White Fall Tablescape mixed with green apples and orange pumpkins is a fun combination for a casual kitchen!
Welcome everyone to another fall excerpt from our home. If you are new to Our Southern Home, welcome! I've been blogging here since 2012. Since 2012 and well before, it's been hot as all get out in Upstate, SC the month of September. I don't expect that will ever change. So while it's sweltering outside, I enjoy creating a harvest home inside.
I am so excited to be joining the Fall Ideas Tour this week hosted by Angie from Postcards from the Ridge.
This tour is different in that each day has a theme. Be sure to stick around to the end so you can see the schedule. Today I am sharing our kitchen tablescape.
The real deal in terms of pumpkins are just not readily available around here. We are still a couple of weeks out. I stopped in my local Publix tonight to check and they had a few large, traditional orange pumpkins, but not much else.
I'm ok with faux. They have come a long way in recent years.
I adore blue and white and find that it works all year long. I recently picked up this gorgeous blue and white table cloth at Tuesday Morning. I folded it to look more like a wide runner to expose the wood of the table along the top.
August and September are big apple picking months in Hendersonville, NC. We love to take the 50 minute drive for a day trip. Apples are the perfect nod to early fall around here. Of course, these apples are faux. Look pretty real! I've had these apples for years! One of them even has bite marks where one of my son's friends took a bite out of one when they were in 3rd grade. Would you believe that they are now both roommates at Clemson University. I just can't part with these apples.
The blue glasses were a thrift store find in the spring.
This has been a simple tablescape to keep set. Yes, we actually use it. Everything goes in the dishwasher and right back on the table. It actually encourages us to eat at the table and not at the island. The white plates were also thrift store finds.
The antique marble top server was purchased about 20 years ago from an antique store in Chapel Hill, NC. It's one of our favorite pieces. I added just a few faux pumpkins.
This Welcome Fall pillow was a recent DIY project. You can check out the materials here. Below is a video tutorial from a Facebook live.
The kitchen area opens up to the family room.
Leaving the wood exposed on the table also helps to tie in the wood decor pieces on the top of the table.
Over the last couple of years, I find that I am going simpler each year with my seasonal decor. I probably have 3 totes of things that I didn't use this year. I like the simpler.

Beautiful tablescape! I just love the crisp colour combination! And, seriously those apples, it’s hard to believe they are faux!!!

Such a pretty tablescape! Love the blues with the green apple pops!
Atta Girl Amy says
I love that pop of green with your blue and white! We need to hit the orchards before they close for the season. As always, your home is stunning.
Myrna says
I still love the pink flower door basket when I open your blog. It makes me happy ! I never see “Hi” when I am out shopping for signs to put in my wreaths.
Lora Bloomquist says
I always love seeing your beautiful kitchen and eating area, Christy! The blue and white does indeed morph to many seasons! Fun to be hopping with you again!
Christina Woodcock says
Wow, Christy, where do I begin? Absolutely beautiful and I LOVE the farmhouse vibe! The marble top server, your table, all gorgeous!
Kim says
Blue and white are classics and I love they way they look against the green accents and in your gorgeous, gorgeous kitchen!! I was laughing at your apple story. I totally get it! My kids and their friends used to eat my real fruit displays all the time, so I finally bought fake. Now no one eats it, but they juggle it instead. Or should I say, practice juggling…dents, scratches, you name it, but all those marks come with a ton of giggly memories.
Marie says
I would have bit into those apples too, they look so real! Love them displayed in a wooden dough bowl. Clever idea of folding a tablecloth into a runner (might steal that one for Thanksgiving). Your home looks so inviting!
Angie says
I love your blue willow dishes for fall. And those apples look so realistic that I would have probably taken a bite out one of them too, lol. Your home looks classic and beautiful, as always. So glad you were able to join the tour.

I love the mixture of color and texture Christy. And as I learned two years ago, orange and blue are complimentary on the color wheel, but you probably know that. I needed to know how to go with a blue sun room ceiling and log siding that had aged. Once I knew they worked together it was easy to pull the little cedar porch together and quit fighting it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen your kitchen/dining area before. The wooden ceiling is gorgeous! Oh, and the tablescape is pretty darn cute too, but I just can’t quit looking at your ceiling!
Cindy says
Christy I had to laugh about your son’s friend biting the apple. How cute and how time flies. I love that they’re still close. That proves they look real.
Love the tablecloth turned runner. I do the same in my dining room.
I’ve gone more natural this fall and I love it. We have not many pumpkins up here yet either. I was able to find baby boos this past weekend and was thrilled. Added them in some places.
Always look forward to tours.

Beautiful, Christy! Blue and white dishes and decor are perfect to use in any season. I love your idea of folding a tablecloth to look like a runner. Your new tablecloth looks great on your table and coordinates perfectly with your blue and white dishes. I also enjoyed seeing your kitchen. I’m sure I saw pictures of it in the past, but today’s pictures were views that weren’t familiar with me. I love all of the wood in your kitchen including the ceiling. It’s always a pleasure to visit your home and see how you’ve decorated for the season.
