This Week on the Sideboard

This is the buffet/sideboard in the kitchen hallway, one of my favorite spots for some seasonal decor.(gee, I say that alot) I think I've had several different vignettes here this Fall, but this rendition has been the most fun, using one of my old windows and some more black/white elements.





My sister made the adorable Boo banner using her Silhouette machine.
Mine has scaredy cats with green glitter eyes.




















I've had this old mint condition Remington typewriter for years, but I'm just now using it in a real vignette.



The gobblers are waiting in the wings for the Thanksgiving re-do coming next week.



We were in St. Louis for a long weekend visiting the kids.
We always have such a great time, but I wear myself out.
Eating and shopping non-stop...you know how tiring that can be!
I only took a few pictures but I'll share some tomorrow.
OK, laundry is calling me, but I'm trying to ignore it.
I plan on staying in my pjs all day.

linking up with these fun parties

Hi Debra,

I love it! I think I have half of the same things as you--scale, window, typewriter, birds--ha ha. I'll chalk it up to great minds thinking alike. :)

Have a great day.
Pam

Nita {ModVintageLife} said...

I love the raven and the typewriter together. Love the whole vignette but who would have thought a typewriter would be so appropriate for Halloween?

Angela said...

You know, Debra, your vignettes, and your home, and your blog just get more beautiful as time goes by. They really are as good or better than anything I see in books and magazines and all over the web. I guess I should have added your photography skills...that is a large part of it, isn't it?

Korrie@RedHenHome said...

I love love love your decor! Will you come arrange my sideboard, please??

Jacqueline~Cabin and Cottage said...

OOOOOOh! I LOVE this!! You're so lucky to have a nice play space! I wanted a better look at the cool looking candles. I was away visiting on the weekend too. Hard to get back to routine! You know I NEVER come across clock faces. I love that look. xx

Great vignette, Debra, but the stack of wicker cases caught my eye.

I love the vignette. Especially the old typewriter. My daughter saw one the other day, and she thought it was a Steampunk computer, LOL!

That's a very nice vignette! I love all the colors of beige, black and white together. That's a neat idea to put a large window above the sideboard like that too.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

I have to do a day where I just stay in and wear my PJ's all day, Debra! The days are just going by so quick; I feel like I'm losing track of time. I love your raven print sitting on the typewriter. You always do such a nice display on this buffet.

Linda (Nina's Nest) said...

You have some of my favorite things in that vignette - the scales and the manual typewriter - love 'em! I've been collecting picnic baskets and love the way you have yours displayed. I don't have a spot yet to put mine, but you've inspired me. Linda

What a beautifully vintage Halloween display! I love it ... from the window backdrop to the typewriter to the framed bird ... all is fabulous!

Yeah girl...I feel your pain. Shopping AND eating...it's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
If I need to know what month or season it is...all I have to do is come visit you to get it right.
