One of the many wonderful elements about autumn season that
I love is that, it’s not exactly too cold, at least for most— it’s not winter.
There’s that in-between period of a tolerable cool, calm, and collected climate, all of which upholds each other
in balance, like a bedspring to a mattress.
The weather starts with joyful fluffs of sunshine, you know,
those wonderful leftover bursts from the summer. The leaves either spiral in
the wind (softly hitting the ground) like a feather dancing in slow motion, or like swift raindrops and brisk winds as the bed sheet. But, there’s also
moments when breezes hit your face and feel like they’re wrapped in a chilled
duvet.
That’s also why I love this season so much. The leaves are
changing colours, and the somewhat volatile climate transitioning into a steady
coolness makes for a lovely fireside evening. Although, in our case, it was an
early morning breakfast starter (raspberries with Devonshire cream) followed by checking upcoming holiday dates and confirmations. Here’s the tablescape that I created for such a time as this.
For the breakfast table, I used lively and fun eco-prints
from the Gudrun Sjödén home collection. These are some my favourites, because
of the unique blending that can be done with the printed pieces. Throughout the
homeware collection, there are bold neutrals paired with stripes and abstract
florals that can be easily carried into other seasons.
The kitchen towels were a big hit at our table, as well as
the place mats. The jungle theme that was constant in the autumn collection
continued within more interior pieces, like the elephant embroidered cushion. I
chose to add loose leaves on the table for an artsy autumn touch. Then, I accented
the colourful palette with plum purple, olive green, and rustic orange.
If you happen to be near a store, check out the new line of
pottery by Gudrun, there are plenty of pleasing patterns to liven up any
kitchen.
What do
you think of these Gudrun Sjödén pieces? Are you looking forward to
entertaining soon?

Wow Madison you described the autumn like a poet. I wish I had your writing skills. The Gudrun Sjöden pieces look amazing. I wish we had the new pottery line over here too. Would love to check it out. Wir haben hier zwar einen Laden, der ein paar Sachen führt, aber nur ein paar Kleider. So schön dekorieren wie du, kann ich leider auch nicht. Have einen wunderschönen Dienstag 😀

Yes fall is my favorite season for all these reasons and more. And breakfast is my favorite meal to go out for, but find I do not this as much since moving back to NY from Seattle.

These textiles really help you to set quite a "happy" looking table. I can definitely see why they're a hit. I feel much the same way about autumn as you Madison. I kind of wish it would stick around longer as winter is not my favorite season.
