Finally, I have been inspired to create another tablescape. My creativity has been waning these last few weeks. My trip to Roger's Gardens really inspired me and I wanted to do something with cream pumpkins. The picture above was taken by my friend Cynthia.
But, today when I arrived at Roger's, all the creamy pumpkins were gone! Apparently everyone was thinking the same as I was. So I grabbed what I thought were pumpkins with a green cast.
When I got home and started putting all the placemats etc. out, I found out they were more of a blue/gray hue.
I paired the blue/gray pumpkins with some smaller cream and green and for the center piece I used grass. I planted it in a creamy urn I already had. I used my gray velvet placemats, blue napkins and cream dishes, all from HomeGoods. I was so surprised that I was using BLUE, at the nursery I imagined GREEN.
EEK! Where did these guys come from? Must have left a door open or something!
I just thought I would spice it up a little for a Halloween idea. If I would have had time, I would have gone through more of my decorations to make it a bit more scary. The idea is there, I think you could really have fun with it.

Beautiful colors, Janie! I love the pumpkins, the colors are out of the ordinary. You put everything on the table all together very well and I like how you added the crows...Christine
Great colors....the placemats..the centerpiece...what a nice change from the typical orange and browns of fall....and the crows were a nice touch...
Beautiful colors. Love the crows!
Love green/gray pumpkins. I often set an entire Halloween table with the green color Jack 'o Lanterns!
Hope you'll stop by to visit me!
I think it looks wonderful! You did a great job! I love it all!
All the best,
Eileen
I would have NEVER have though of those colors for fall, but it totally works! I LOVE it! The blues and greens are so clean and fresh...and the pumpkins are perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Oh I really love the blue color. The placemats, napkins and all the dishes are so beautiful, but the pumpkins and the wonderful urn just make such a gorgeous table. Love the colors. Hugs, Marty
Hi Janie!
The blue-grey is spectacular!!!!!!!!!
Frost on the pumpkin!!!!
The light coming in looks like fall haze....
Stop by!

Well your inspiration definitely shows through. This is a fabulous table. The pumpkins are simply amazing. i hope I can find some in these colors. So interesting. Love the photo of the pumpkins in the bed of the truck. That could win a prize! ~ Sarah
I've never seen pumpkins that colour but I love them and love what you created for a 'scape using them! It is a more elegant fall look with the blues but great idea creating a Halloween look with the ravens! Versatile 'scape!

Verry pretty tablescape. The colours are so lovely.
Have a nice day
Your table has a very ethereal feeling to it & reminds me of the Edgar Allen Poe poem "The Raven Speaks No More".
The colors are so soft & appealing...beautifully done!
What a beautiful table. Love the gray, who would have thought? You have put ideals in my head.

Really pretty! The pumpkins look so elegant on this table.
Love the pumpkins... and your little feathered guests! A very nice, and inspiring tablescape! ~tina
It's beautiful. I actually like it better without the scary touches. It seems very sureal. A great way to segway from summer to fall. A very creative fall tablescape.

I love your fall table with the gorgeous pumpkins. The crows are too cute, and really add a touch of whimsy.
OH! What a beautiful fall tablescape! So serene and soothing!
Great job!
Your table looks so pretty. I like the lighter pumpkins. They look sooooo elegant. It all looks great.
What a very elegant look. I love the colors!

I love this look, the pumpkins give a rather 'haunting' look (in a good way, kinda like seeing mist over the moores in England). It's a beautiful setting.
Gorgeous! So much prettier than orange, and so delicate with the white plates...just beautiful!

Sarah, thanks for the compliment on my photo. Janie, great job on the tablescape. Love the color scheme which really ties in with the inspiration photo, love the grass, and love the way the shape of the cream urns mimic the form of the pumpkins curves. It was worth the wait for you to be re-inspired.
Cyn
Love your colors! Just perfect!
Isn't that cool how it worked out in the end and was so coordinated. That's when you know you are a true artist! Loved your table!
just beautiful, love the grass~
Oh yes ~ this is so lovely!
I really like the beautiful, soft colors and you've co-ordinated them perfectly. Brava!!
Janie, this is gorgeous. I'm sorry I got over here so late to look at your tablescape...I'm home from work and getting caught up on my Tablescape visits! Your table and the white pumpkins are beautiful. I love the look. And I like the color of the placemats, I think it goes perfect with your look. Love the crows too, I bought some today!
Have a blessed weekend.
Debbie
This is absolutely gorgeous! Love the color scheme! Fabulous job!

I think those pumpkins have been moving around the house for some time:) Nice final result. I specially like the first image.
I love looking at all the pumpkins and your tour of the garden center for Halloween was awesome.
