Autumn Home Decorating: Simple Fall Table
Today I’m sharing the beautiful selection of darling seasonal table decor from the Better Homes & Gardens line at Walmart, and how I incorporated it into our cottage farmhouse dining room! The rich colors and Autumn images on the dish collection are extra lush and full of vivid Fall colors this year. Can’t wait to set my table!

Hi friends! As we settle into the new season, with Halloween upon us & Thanksgiving next month, I think it’s safe to say we are all in full Fall Swing! I’m finally there, ready to fully embrace it! And I’m so happy we had a rain free afternoon so I could share my latest Autumn home decorating project with you, a simple Fall table.
Since I also don’t like to wait until the last minute… and really, you can’t these days because everything flies off the shelves like leaves in an Autumn breeze… I bought my Fall table decor early in anticipation of setting a Thanksgiving table. It’s so pretty, I decided instead of washing it and putting it away until the big day, I’d enjoy it. Why hide it for the next several weeks, when it’s so pretty and festive?
Last year I bought a few pieces of the limited edition seasonal collection, and this year, I indulged in the plates and bowls! They are so pretty and they coordinate with what I bought previously so that was an added bonus.
Now, if you’ve followed me for any time, you’ll know… I am not a big tablescaper, there are plenty of girls you can follow for gorgeous tables, I’m just not one. Heck, we don’t even have a formal dining room, and I’ve been know to be entirely without a dining room set before. In fact, I just completed the makeover on this one, and refreshed my bench in a yummy navy in time to share all my new Better Homes and Gardens pretties that are now available at your local Walmart, or online [here]. I shopped both ways. Sometimes, select items are limited, so they are in-store only. When I market, I just casually end up in the home decor area of the store. And act shocked when I can’t find the milk…
I used to be very, “I need to see it and touch it” before I can buy it, but I’ve had such good luck with buying my Better Homes and Gardens items online, that I’m actually a little bit spoiled with the to-my-door deliveries now, and the selection online is greater than what is carried in-store.
Since our fireplace is in the dining area, I decide to sprinkle Fall all over the room. Who says you can’t have a butter dish pumpkin on the mantel? Not me!
The hints of deep, coppery bronze on the stem, and on the little Foxes, are so pretty. I love a little sparkle.
The Fox is a tea-light holder, but he wanted to join in the Fall festivities too.
If you ever wondered what the Fox says… that was it. “I want a pumpkin.” Mystery solved.
See? Totally contented.
If you ever have the opportunity to grab a bar cart, do it. Handiest things ever. I’ve used this one all over, but it’s back here for the season, just in time to work hard & look pretty.
I didn’t buy the big serving bowl last season, but I couldn’t resist this year, it is so pretty. The colors are so vibrant and lively!! And they added the loveliest feathers this round.
Someone got a new “do” – Looks pretty carefree to me. Maybe it’ll catch on?
Again, the Owl was meant to be a tea light holder, but I tried this instead.
I think the texture is fun & definitely very “Fall”.
A few more layers to warm things up! Cozy throws and fur pillows are within easy reach for chilly mornings, or to add extra cushion for tired backs.
I’m going to share a full “table setting” later, but for now I thought seeing how you can enjoy your dishes, in a very simple, informal arrangement might be nice.
These are all the items I used for my arrangement. (I’ll share all the links at the end for you!)
I am absolutely & thoroughly enjoying this table every day! The colors are simply sublime!
This decadent metallic flatware has got me a little bit excited to do the real-deal table.
I’ll probably need to invest in a few fresh pumpkins for the table too… can you believe this, is the only real one I’ve bought so far? I can’t.
It definitely needs some pumpkin pals!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I very much enjoy sharing my Better Homes and Gardens finds I discover at Walmart with you! It’s great to share a brand that is well made, and most everyone can afford. I’ve never had seasonal dishes before, and I’m really looking forward to attempting to style a table with them, and hearing what you all think. If you have any secret tips, share them with me in the comments!! xo Shannon

Very pretty Shannon! I especially LOVE that bittersweet wreath! I have shopped for faux bittersweet but have never found any that look authentic enough to me. I’m wondering where you found yours.
I also love the little foxes. They have always been one of my favorite animals.
Thanks for sharing your Fall decor.

Hi Naomi ~ I got that at HomeGoods, many years ago. I feel like I’ve had it for maybe 7 years? I’ve got it in white too. They are my go-to. Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂 Happy Autumn!!
Marie says
This is simply beautiful!

Thank you so much Marie!!
Caroline Brown says
I love the fall theme throughout your home! I’m trying to decorate for fall, instead of just Halloween. That way I can leave my decorations all season, making subtle changes for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thanks for the inspiration.
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage says
Very smart! When you go natural, it’s easier to pepper in a bit of Halloween, then remove and go into Thanksgiving 🙂 Good plan!
Tammy Rhodes says
Oh my gosh Shannon! This is all SO gorgeous! I mean the bowls, the silverware, the navy, the bench, the walnuts ( they bring back memories of Christmas mornings when I was little 🙂 it’s all so perfect and jaw dropping beautiful!
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage says
We always had bowls of nuts and my grandparents house, from Fall into Christmas! It’s a really strong memory. She had them sprinkled about. We loved cracking them, Walnuts and Almond were my favorites. Have a happy Autumn!! (and thank you)
Holli says
It looks so good Shannon!!! And I can rest now that I know “what the Fox says”!!! ? love the pops of navy too!
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage says

Anna Starner says
Love the dinnerware. Such pretty Fall leaves and acorns with just a perfect touch of navy in the blueberries.
Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage says
Aren’t the images on the dishes so beautiful. I love the pinch of blue this year, and the feather! So glad I got to add them to what I already had 🙂 Happy Fall Anna!!
Heidi Ferguson says
