It’s that time of year when you’re ready for fall, but it’s still really summer. After sharing the 4th of July dining room, and a lot of color this summer, I decided it was time for something more neutral. It’s not quite fall, but is definitely autumn adjacent.

Centerpiece
For the centerpiece, dried hydrangea take center stage. To cover up the stems in the dough bowl, I added some various twine balls and wine corks. Flanking the dough bowl are two small amber lanterns. I wanted to keep it to a very simple and rustic tablescape, with a few farmhouse touches.
The neutral plaid table runner is a favorite of mine. It’s Tommy Hilfiger from HomeGoods, but here’s a similar one on Amazon.
Table Setting
As usual, I used my favorite placemats from Crate & Barrel to add texture. I know I can find other placemats, but why break it if it’s not broken?
The napkins are from World Market, last seen for Easter. The Nortitake ColorWave plates work perfectly with the neutral palate, but I did use some cute appetizer plates at a few settings.
It’s the perfect simple rustic farmhouse tablescape to tide me over until I’m ready to break out the pumpkins. How to do you transition between seasons?
Nothing suits me better than a simple table that has nothing more on it than what is needed. Yours is perfect.
Thank you Linda! Life has been crazy lately, so it was nice to bring some simplicity into the everyday 🙂
Hi! I’m Alycia…first time visitor to your blog via TT. The neutral colors and simplicity of your tablescape caught my eye in the thumbnails. So calming, yet joyful. I need that in my riotous life! I love your dining table, too. Gorgeous!!! That white has me rethinking a few things in my own dining room now. Have a glorious weekend!
Thank you Alycia! Appreciate you stopping by and for your kind words. The table was the very first thing I bought for the house – a Ballard Outlet find and it’s my favorite.
so pretty and soft! I love how you did the napkins.
Thank you Lauren!
