~Whites of the Season~

As the end of October is upon us and the weather is getting colder I'm drawn to the whites of the season.  Pumpkins, gourds and Mums are some of my favorites to decorate with outdoors.  The small porch in front of the Garden House is kept simple with some of these whites mixed among my weathered grey furniture and galvanized items.  Enjoy! xoxo K.

 I love all the colors of the Mums you see at the Garden Centers, but every year I leave with white ones for my own home.

 I also have a weakness for white pumpkins, although I have really enjoyed the greenish grey ones as well this year.  I love how this one has nubby areas on it.

    Me too. We just went to ikea to get new white slipcovers for our ektorp sofas since they were on sale and we bought the natural beige too for autumn. Yours inspired me. They are nice for a change.

    Absolutely lovely!
    I'm a sucker for white pumpkins, too! And that white nubby one is so photogenic.
    I get so much inspiration from your blog!
    Thank you!

    This is my kinda fall look, Kathleen! Like you, I appreciate the autumn colors of orange, red, rust at the garden center (and on my trees) - but gotta have WHITE for our homes, right?
    Love this vignette, especially how you mixed with the grays.

    Wow!
    The second to last picture is my favorite. If I had the good fortune to live there I would probably get nothing done as I would sit in that chair all day :). I love the white pumpkins as well. My kids are never surprised when I choose those over the orange ones. Enjoy your day.

    I loved the way you've decorated your porch in white with the zinc. I wish I could get white pumpkins here in France, they look lovely with the white flowers.

    Love the mood over here, as well as the tone on tone.
    I wanted to come visit to let you know that I was suppose to be in the Nov. issue Artful Blogging but was asked if they could move me to the Feb, issue due to I was a much better fit for this issue. Wel, I received a copy of A/B and noticed you featured, what a beautiful layout, and amazing feature.
    You can be so proud to see the beauty and grace A/B added to your home with pages of all that inspires you.
