“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”
Proverbs 10:9
Since the beginning of summer, we have been enjoying the great outdoors for Tablescape Tuesday, but not this week…today, we are taking it inside! You all are invited to join us around our dining room table! We’ve seen some gorgeous autumn tablescapes in the blog world…some simple and some over-the-top…and the season has just begun! I know that there are hundreds of ways to set a seasonal table, but today I want to take it back to the basics…with the traditional orange pumpkin! Yes, I love all the pretty and softer shades of pumpkins, but something about that humble orange just says FALL!
I allow the orange pumpkins to be the stars for this autumn tablesetting!
Using my cream-colored china which you often see, I placed a mini-pumpkin on the salad plates…love this one’s stem.
The centerpiece is really simple…I placed an assortment of pumpkins in a pretty Italian tray that my sweet sister-in-law gave me a couple of years ago. Does it get any easier than this?
On either side of the tray are real antlers (my guys are hunters), which I love to use in fall and winter.
Adding to the centerpiece is a pair of metal flowers that I have had for years. As I have often said, shop your house to find a little something unusual to use for your tablescapes.
I used water hyacinth placemats to provide texture on the bare wood, again so simple – I didn’t even have to iron a tablecloth!

Plaid napkins with embellished napkin rings are added for a little sparkle.

I love the early morning light that pours through the dining room bay windows.

Nicely done, Pam. Lucky to find that stem on the tiny pumpkin! I am loving the basic white (or is that cream?) china, thinking I need (right!) a set for everyday use. I would gladly get rid of one (or more) sets for a nice, classic set of white or cream. hmmm……
Noted (by re-reading) that your china is cream. Lovely set.
Rita, the cream china is my workhorse. It is so easy to add color!
Beautiful and classy way to present pumpkins! The cute little stem on the tiny orange pumpkin is adorable and your creamy white dishes are yummy! Love the white box with the pumpkins taking center stage!
Liz, thank you . Wishing you a wonderful autumn week!
This is gorgeous Pam, the white with real orange pumpkins is elegant yet with those earthy woven mats everything comes together in the perfect fall table! Your sunlit room is gorgeous and I am crazy over the ceramic pumpkin crate!

I forgot to say that this is one of the best fall tables I’ve seen this year! Love it-
Jenna, thanks for your sweet comments. Wishing you a wonderful week!
Pam, this is such an elegant and beautiful table! I love the beautiful cream dishes combined with the orange pumpkins. I adore that pretty tray you used for the centerpiece. I agree with you on shopping your house to create a pretty tablescape. You do not have to spend a fortune to assemble a lovely table setting. You just have to be creative and think outside the box. Your table is gorgeous, and I always love seeing your beautiful dining room! Have a wonderful day!!!
Shannon, you are always so sweet! I am loving our cooler weather!
Will you ever have one that I do NOT LOVE??? LOL!!
Jo Ann, thank you for your sweet comments!
It’s gorgeous! Yes, your pumpkin stem is so fun and whimsical. No better way to add whimsy to a beautiful table set with china than with nature. 🙂 Happy Tuesday!
Thank so much, Kim. I am loving our cooler temps!
Without question, pumpkins are my favorite table decor this time of year. As you show, they are versatile and add such happy color to a table. It’s nice to see your lovely dining room again.

Pam, your tablescape is simply lovely! I appreciate that you used beautiful things that you already have, just restyled them and added pumpkins to welcome fall! Very well done!
Pat, thanks so much for your sweet comments. I enjoy setting a table when I don’t have to spend money! Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!
Pam, Your dining room is so beautiful. I love light coming in and your photos are lovely showcasing your fall tablescape. I was pleasantly surprised to feel the cooler air and fall like weather returning from our trip.
You can shop your house the best I’ve ever seen! What a great tray from your sister-in-law! It was perfect to fill with pumpkins.
Thanks, Bonnie! I love when you don’t have to spend any money!
Pam, this table says simple elegance. Beautiful!
Thanks so much, Sarah! Happy Wednesday!
I am thrilled to see this beautiful orange pumpkin tablescape!!!….and love that stem too….
Thanks so much, Shirley. We are on a business trip, but I wanted to talk to you before you leave, maybe this weekend!
Pam, as always you create amazing tablescapes. Love the plate stack and your cute pumpkins. The tray is gorgeous and is the centerpiece. Love seeing your beautiful dining room.
Thanks, Linda for your sweet comments!
Pure loveliness on your table! I love my cream/white dishes as they allow for so many ideas with table scapes. Just beautiful and so welcoming!
Thank you, Lea! Cream/white dishes are so versatile for sure!
Stunning table Pam! As much as I adore the unusual pumpkins you can find now days, there is something about that basic orange that screams fall. I, like you always pay attention to the stem. It’s half the fun!! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thanks, Jann!
Hi Pam, Everything is beautiful! I love the contrast of the pumpkins against the white china and the lovely Italian tray! I really like the pumpkins in the Italian tray with the antlers nearby! Well done! Blessings, Janet
Thanks so much, Janet! Happy Thursday!
Absolutely beautiful and elegant. I love how you featured the orange pumpkin. Such a beautiful color in nature. Not many things that grown have the vibrant color of a pumpkin. When we say pumpkin orange, everyone knows what color it is. Love everything you have done in your tablescape.
Thanks so much, Valerie! Pumpkin orange is definitely noticeable!
This is so pretty and elegant.
you have the knack!
Thank you for sharing this at TOHOT.
I am so glad you are here.

Thanks so much, Laura! Blessings~
Glad you chose to use the “humble” orange pumpkins as I agree, they are a traditional basic of fall. Love how you’ve showcased them in the centerpiece and at each place setting. They really pop against your lovely cream coloured dishes. Fabulous napkin rings too!
Thanks so much, Lori! I still love an orange pumpkin!
Your dining room is perfect for fall decorating. My eyes kept straying to the drapes with the perfect fall colors!
Thanks so much, happy fall!
Hi Pam! Your simple but fresh tablescape is stunning. Those little pumpkins are perfect!
Thanks for sharing and linking up at Dishing It & Digging It! We love having you! 🙂
That white tray is gorgeous and I love the way you’ve softened the orange with the cream colored china.
Thanks so much, Sandra!
Absulutely gorgeous! I love it all, specially that centerpiece because it gives the spread a soft Fall warmth to it all..

Your are so sweet, Fabby! Wishing you a wonderful autumn week!
