Hope you had a great weekend.
We have been getting a downpour here today and a lot more rain is expected for tomorrow so we are making up for our dry summer.
I got in the mood to do some Autumn decorating one day last week. So I gathered up some of my Fall/Autumn linens and got my husband to put up the old lovely wooden doors from the Restore.The bed was one that I had bought for our grandson at Coulson's in Summerside a few years ago and he has changed to a single bed so this one(a 3/4) came back to me.
An Autumn vignette on the table with old books ,a birdhouse and dried hydrangeas from our garden.
The needlepoint pillows add a nice warm touch. This tea set is the perfect match .
This is the summer look that it had before I started to give it an Autumn look.I am joining Matamorphsis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch today.
Thank you for visiting me.

That is the perfect spot to curl up with a book on a chilly Fall or rainy day, Carolyn! I would be quite content to take a little nap, too!
You have so much talent and you do it all so beautifully! I love your fall makeover. So perfect in everyway!

Such a cozy spot, Carolyn! Pretty colours.

Beautiful transformation Carolyn. Your pictures of autumn have a lovely warm golden hue, perfect for the fall season. Have a wonderful week:)
Your little nook is so beautiful. I love how you coordinated everything. So warm and inviting.
All those colours combined are beautiful. I find them very calming. I love the old bed. It reminds me of one we had for our children years back. Your table is so inviting. I would love to have tea there.
The summer look is beautiful but the Autumn look just warms my heart!
I love the deep rich jewel tone colors of Fall and you have captured the spirit of Autumn beautifully!

Dearest Carolyn,
Absolutely lovely!!! Your delightful decorating puts me in the mood for cooler weather and hot chocolate. The greens, oranges and browns are so pretty.
Your Autumn decorating has inspired me to get with the program sort of speak. I have got to dig my scarecrows out of storage this week.
Hope I can get 'er done,

such a gorgeous spot,Love the warm Fall colors, and those wonderful doors!
All of these colors are just beautiful. Everything looks so warm and cozy. Just wonderful!
Just gorgeous, warm cozy and inviting! The fall decor in it it's lovely, specially all the colors, the pillows and the beautiful teaset; can't be better place than this one to curl up with a good book, a magazine, or family photo albums. Have a blessed week.

Oh I think my heart just melted!! That is the most deliciously cozy piece of gorgeousness I have seen in a very long time! It just makes me want to curl up with a plate of pumpkin pie and a good book :) Have a lovely night!
I don't care for fall...but you do such a beautiful job. You make even fall look gorgeous! Love the colors you used.
Ummmm....when did you say I could move in, Carolyn.....?
lolol!
Absolutely beautiful and cozy and oh so inviting!!!!

Just beautiful, Carolyn! Question about your veranda...is it screened only, or are their windows as well? I was wondering how you keep these beautiful things dry when the rains are heavy, or accompanied by wind.
It looks so inviting! Perfect for autumn! After our hot summer with extreme drought conditions, I am so ready for it!
LOVE the Autumn look, so welcoming!! Jackie in Surrey, UK.

I really like the way you combined fabrics and prints. Is it difficult to keep linens clean on a screen porch?
Adoro l'autunno!Questa stanza è dolcissima!Invita a pomeriggi in casa a bere il thè mentre fuori cadano le foglie!Molto accogliente e coccola!Saluti,Rosetta
Nice transformation of your porch to a cozy autumn decor.

Oh Carolyn, you made really a splendid staging: beautiful , really beautiful autumn scene !!! Bravissimo!!!
What a lovely place to cozy in and listen to the rain! I love the warm colours that you've used.
Hugs, Cindy
Ok, I'd agree.. I could take a mini nap every now and then in this area. I could see candles lit when dusts hits.. and and cozy quilt, soft music. Of course after I had my luncheon with you and done up the dishes.
I note that you and I do much the same.. the take down, clean up, paint if necessary, then reset for the new season. Hubby has finally gotten used to this.. but he too loves the results.
Oh, he wanted to know about the doors used as a privacy screen. I love the stain on them too, perfect for fall.
warm hugs,

Hi Carolyn,
You are the master of staging, a perfect cozy rustic autumn setting tucked in the corner of the veranda, delightful! It's funny because when I see your veranda, this is exactly what I would want to have (if I had one :-) a cozy corner to sleep in... to daydream in! Love the view thru the mirror!!
We have had a very dry summer. I have never seen anything like it, we are still waiting for the rain. I am sure you and your garden are enjoying it!
Hugs,
Bella
My word! Autumn seems to have hit just as suddenly on your porch as it's come here! Overnight, it seems... and I'm thinking NO! NO! NO! NO! NOoooooooooooooo! sigh.
But this is making me think that it's not so bad, after all! =]
It's really lovely and festive and cozy, Carolyn!

Goodness your posts are always so inspiring and beautiful!! Love!!
Everything is so beautiful and in seasonal colours... Your house is so very relaxing and lovely ... Thanks for sharing..Hugs
