My Mad Plaid Blue Fall Tablesetting

I've been mad for plaid these past few weeks.  I just love how cozy and warm it seems - perfect for fall and winter.  I wrote about my desire to purchase something plaid for the house on Design Mom and I wanted to show you how my plaid obsession played out in our dining room.

I found this plaid fabric at the thrift store for $3.50 and it was 50% off so ...  it didn't cost me very much, but it set the mood I was envisioning.


I love blue and yellow/orange together - they are such a good compliment for each other.  I used our orange glass pumpkin in the centre of the table along with some yellowy-gold flowers that I found growing wild along a fence.  

I used teal dinner plates and added the bread and butter plates I got at the thrift store recently.  Aren't the orange and blue flowers perfect.




Have you ever used blue for your fall decorating?  It is a little out of the box, but I love it.

    I love it too, actually. It looks so autumnal and warm and welcoming.

    Do you mind if I pop over and join you? I could do with a good natter!! ;-)

    Hello - great price on the table cloth. I always love a table setting in blue with yellow flowers - really sharp looking!

    I have plaid tablecloths for every season and like the material you found to use. The dishes go well with it, and I'm loving the glass pumpkin centrepiece.
    Just noticed you live in Ontario too, hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
