Looking at this picture, I imagine you are questioning the title of Soft Whites for Fall,
but why don't you come in and see for yourself.
With so much color happening outside, simplicity reigns throughout the house.
The step back cupboard provides a nice background for the little bit of color in the entry.
You might question all the white, but fall in my neck of the woods is less about oranges and reds or falling leaves
than it is about wide expanses of blues and greens.
An old bench on the porch,
and old stool in the entry provide a pop of blue.
In the dining room, yellow paired with the blue and white spruce up the plate racks, but the yellow flowers are just too much.
So, I swapped them for baby boos.
I did have to resort to faux greenery otherwise I would be changing the greenery daily.
Keeping with the neutral theme, I made a few pumpkins out of drop cloth that ended up in the hallway.
Now, I need to hit publish on this post, finish the mantel
and head to the pumpkin patch so I can fill the shopping cart with pumpkins.
Because like the front porch, the back yard is all about color.

It's always a beautiful spot in my day to stop by Art and Sand. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the soothing neutral tones and then all that color outside!
ReplyDeleteYour drop cloth pumpkins are adorable. You could go into business making and selling them!
ReplyDeleteThe red door and blue frames did give me pause on the All About White title. I'm like you, the more white I paint the more white I want. I love the direction the color in your cottage has gone.
ReplyDeleteI love the beauty of soft white surroundings, and I draw peace and inspiration from your home. Each photo is a feast for my senses.
ReplyDeletejust lovely... Have a great week Carol!
ReplyDeleteCarol, simple yet spectacular, yes cool bright whites and pops of color, perfect.
ReplyDeleteI just love your home! Every single photo is magazine worthy!

So pretty, Carol...whether it is color, or neutrals...you do it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI love all the color outdoors and the soothing simplicity I the inside of your home. I love the pops of blues and red inside. I'm definitely finding a perfect shade of white for my living room and kitchen! I adore your home and your style!
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful...every vignette a feast for the eyes. Love your drop cloth pumpkins! Very unique and creative.
ReplyDeleteYour home looks so lovely decorated with white. I love the drop cloth pumpkins and love the decor on the door. I have my baby boos and plan to set an all white table. Love your photos.
ReplyDeleteHappy fall..........
I think the white inside and color outside is perfect for fall at the beach! You have such beautiful taste, my friend :)

Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI'm late but happy to be here. The wild fires up in Santa Rosa claimed the home and goods of a family member, so yesterday morning before I ran off to work, we were speaking to the family who was literally on the run in the car, with only the clothing on their backs. They are safe now in a shelter.
I too have the intention with styling my baby boo white pumpkins and taking photos, but with this crazy work schedule, I wonder when that will happen!
Enjoy the silence of white.
Ooh, that peek of the mantel with the greens and whites is gorgeous! But, then, so is everything else in the cottage. I am in love with that dish rack. I just love it!
ReplyDeletePraying for the northern part of CA this morning....the devastation for the residents of Santa Rosa and surrounding is unthinkable!
Wonderful post...Wonderful place to live...Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteI love your white for autumn, and I even have a Pinterest board dedicated to white autumn decor. Your cottage always makes me smile!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be pinning away on this post!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
