Fall Kitchen Table Decor – Pears and Plaid Green
Fall Kitchen Table Decor – Pears and Plaid Green
Today I’m sharing my fall kitchen table decor.
It’s simple to put together and most of the items I’m using are things I already have at home.
It started with these sweet little pears.
I picked them up probably when fall first started. I had just bought some pear juice thinking it would be a nice way to start enjoying the new season.
I usually tend to crave iced apple cider when fall kicks in but this time around, the pears were calling me.
I knew I had to find some pears to decorate my kitchen and luckily, my local dollar store just so happened to have a few. Yay!
They were kind of funny looking at first, I have to admit.
That (almost) way too bright green color and some leaves that were slightly beat up made me wonder if I would be able to do anything with them, but they still caught my eye and I couldn’t pass them up.
They were coming home with me.
I scattered them on my table along with a few simple faux flowers, a couple of jars, an old-ish vase, and then brought that all together with a plaid green kitchen towel that I found on amazon.
Don’t you just love plaid for fall!
ok let’s get started…
Fall Kitchen Table Decor – Pears and Plaid Green
First, I’m using the same two roses that I also used over the summer to decorate my kitchen table (from Michaels)…
and some small rocks that me and my daughter brought home from the beach this summer…
and I’m dropping that all into these two old jars…
That I then finished off with some white ribbon around the center to go with my other fall centerpiece.
(I just held the ribbon in place with a small piece of tape around the back)
Next up, these pretty little white roses that I recently found at my local dollar store.
I’m using 3 bunches of roses that I cut down and then removed most of the leaves.
I then dropped those flowers into this old vase, another dollar store find, and finished by wrapping twine and white ribbon to complete the simple arrangement.
To keep the twine in place I just tucked the ends into the twine after wrapping it around the vase. Since the twine is slightly stiff it’s able to hold itself in place as long as you wrap it tightly.
Then I placed everything on top of this plaid green kitchen towel and finished off by scattering my dollar store pears all around the arrangements.
And that’s it!
It’s nice to know that inspiration can come from anywhere!
Even something like pear juice 😉

Fall Centerpiece with a Few “Out of Season” Faux Flowers
Fall Centerpiece with a Few “Out of Season” Faux Flowers
One yellow hydrangea, a bunch of tulips, a handful of roses…
A couple bunches of sunflowers…
A few random extra flowers…
And magically
I have the perfect bouquet for my fall centerpiece.
Normally I wouldn’t think of using tulips or a yellow hydrangea to decorate for fall but there I was a few weeks ago…
Sitting on my bedroom floor (way past midnight) pulling out every single yellow flower I could find in my small collection of faux flowers. As I pulled them out and scattered them on the floor I just couldn’t resist!
It was like a match made in heaven when I saw them all mixed in with the sunflowers.
So I figured what’s the big deal if I decorate for fall with a spring flower-like tulips or a yellow hydrangea that looks like it has spring and summer written all over it.
Who’s going to complain if the flowers are in or out of season? They are faux after all 😇
I had no idea why I was even drawn to all these flowers in the first place but once I was done putting them together I realized something.
My centerpiece reminded me of the sun!
So right there I knew exactly why I went for all those yellow flowers.
Here’s why. My daughter’s new favorite movie is the bee movie. (Such a cute movie!) That movie has shades of yellow ALL OVER practically every scene. The bees, the honey, Vanessa’s dress in the court…
She wants to watch it almost EVERY DAY, and far be it for me and my husband to say no to a little resting/me peacefully making dinner time 😉
So we give in.
And then…
We make use of the time however we can, we rest, we do chores/dinner, I end up with that song “here comes the sun” in my head all day long and then I end up creating this beautiful centerpiece that I’m about to share with you right now.
Ok guys here we go!!
Fall Centerpiece with a Few “Out of Season” Faux Flowers
First, I started with an old large mason jar
You can find the same size jar here but I found mine at my local dollar store for less than five dollars so you may want to check there first if you have one near by 😉
I wrapped a white ribbon around the middle part of the jar (because I love wrapping ribbon on everything 😊)
Then I took my super large hydrangea (from Michaels, also used here) along with another flower and dropped them in on opposite sides.
Next…
I dropped three flowers here…
And one bunch of tulips behind those three flowers (from Dollar Tree, also used here)
I may have cried a bit when I photographed those tulips 😄
So pretty!
Ok next…
This is where I started to scatter in the rest of my sunflowers (that I also used here and here) as well as a few roses.
I moved the flowers around where ever it was needed to bring everything together.
and that’s it!
all done with my new fall centerpiece
I hope you enjoyed this fall centerpiece with a few “out of season” faux flowers.

Bedroom Centerpiece – Transitioning from Summer to Fall Decor
Bedroom Centerpiece – Transitioning From Summer to Fall Decor
I started working on this pink and white faux floral arrangement back when summer first started…
I was hoping to post it as my main summer centerpiece but then I got distracted with this post. So I placed that centerpiece in my bedroom and figured I’d get back to it.
Then, before I knew it August came rolling in and I still haven’t gotten around to posting it. (Because my precious two year old has decided my time is better spent playing with her and her building blocks ☺️)
But I really wanted to get this post up despite the fact that no one is really decorating anymore for summer (facepalm moment).
So I went back and forth with a few different ideas and eventually ended up with a floral arrangement that I think can work for late summer decor and yet still stay out even into the coming months of fall.
ok, let’s jump right in because before we know it we’ll have apples, sunflowers and everything else that screams fall everywhere we turn.
Here we go…
Bedroom Centerpiece – Transitioning From Summer to Fall Decor
So this is what’s been sitting on our bedroom vanity pretty much all summer, minus that white ribbon. I had another ribbon on the vase but it kept sliding off so I switched to what you see below and in the next few photos.
I’m using flowers from the dollar store that I already had at home. The only new-ish flowers are the smaller pink peonies in the front part of the arrangement that I picked up at the Dollar Tree when summer first started. I’ve used the older flowers in a number of different blog posts that I’ll go ahead and link to.
I love seeing how many different arrangements I can create with my flowers!
I’m keeping things very simple to make this centerpiece worthy of becoming fall decor and bringing in a bunch of old hydrangeas that I used for my previous fall centerpiece and Thanksgiving centerpiece to scatter throughout the arrangement.
I started by taking my summer centerpiece apart and changing out the ribbon to this white elastic ribbon that I tied around the back part of my vase.
I found this set of different sizes at the Dollar Store but you can also find them on amazon.
It’s the same type of elastic that’s used to make masks so if you’ve been DIY’ing your masks you may already have some at home 😉
(vase from Walmart)
Then I started adding my flowers back in.
I placed one large pink peony off to one side of the vase…
and another into the back part of the arrangement…
(I also used these peonies in this previous post as well as this one)
Then I grabbed my smaller Dollar Tree peonies and dropped them down the other side of the vase…
and the front part as well…
Then I finished off by scattering a few white roses (also used here and here) as well as my hydrangeas all throughout the rest of the centerpiece.
and….
That’s it!
Bright summer decor….
That can double for fall decor…
It’s a good thing faux flowers last forever 😉
I hope this inspired you to go grab some of your summer decor and transform it into beautiful fall decor for your home too!

Colorful Summer Home Decor with Faux Flowers (Simple and Easy to Make)
Colorful Summer Home Decor with Faux Flowers (Simple and Easy to Make)
If there is ever a perfect time of year to decorate with a mix of bright colors…
It would have to be summer!
I love using different colors any time of the year, but the summertime puts me in the mood to kick things up a notch, if you know what I mean.
It’s the season that makes me want to pull out cherry red nail polish…
reminisce about those orange creamsicle ice creams I would have growing up (I may have also had one a few weeks ago 😊) …
and without a doubt, it’s the time of year that I MUST pull out my turquoise dangly earrings that I wear to the beach at least once before the summer ends.
So I decided to make a few colorful (and kind of mix-matched) arrangements to decorate around my home.
When I got started I didn’t really have much of a plan as for what I was going to do. I was working on another centerpiece for a separate blog post but really wanted to make something quick and simple to replace this Easter centerpiece that’s been sitting on our table for waaaay too long.
Then I just kept going (completely forgetting about that other centerpiece, please tell me you are also easily distracted 😉) and eventually put together the five little arrangements you will see down below.
ok guys here we go…
Colorful Summer Home Decor with Faux Flowers
First, pink and turquoise.
I recently went to the Dollar Tree and picked up these hot pink faux daisies along with a few more random flowers.
I took that whole bunch of pink daisies…
some turquoise ribbon that I’ve had for years but probably also came from the Dollar Tree…
an old pickle jar…
and ended up with this sweet little jar that’s now sitting in our living room.
Next up, blue and yellow.
This one consists of tulips and hydrangeas.
Now, I know tulips may not be a popular flower to use for summertime decor but I couldn’t resist grabbing these when I was at the Dollar Tree.
I figured how wrong can a bright yellow flower ever be in the summertime.
One bunch of yellow tulips…
one bunch of blue hydrangeas also from the Dollar Tree…
(yep, I ❤️ Dollar Tree)
a strand of turquoise ribbon again…
then I started putting everything together by dropping the hydrangeas in first followed by the tulips down the center and into a clear vase with a small opening.
And that’s it! Bye-bye Easter centerpiece, hello tulips and hydrangeas.
I should mention that I kept the bunch of tulips and hydrangeas together exactly as they came when I bought them but cut off one stem from each for the last arrangement you will see down below.
Now orange and white.
I grabbed a few old flowers I already had at home (and used here and here)
pulled out some old clear marbles and white sand…
dropped all of that into an old tomato sauce jar with some twine…
that I tied around the back…
and this little guy is done!
Red and blush pink are up next.
For this one I placed a few rocks into a bright red flower pot that I recently found at Home Depot…
(there’s that ribbon again)
Then I stuck two blush pink roses from Michaels into the rocks…
(stuck is a very technical DIY home decor term)
And this pretty little pot is ready to hang out on my kitchen table for the rest of summer!
Last one up, blue and yellow again.
This one was the easiest of the bunch but probably one of my favorites.
I started with a small milk jar…
then I took those two stems I cut from the bunch of tulips and hydrangeas I used earlier…
brought that all together and ended up with this perfect little arrangement, that decided to be photographed right on top of my daughters beach toys 😊
So there you have it!
Pretty in pink…
Classic blue and yellow…
White with a pop of orange…
A shade of red that must have been made just for summer…
and a happy little milk jar surrounded by summer love 💛
