Chinoiserie Blue and White with a Pop of Autumn: A Stunning Tablescape for Fall

Chinoiserie is a timeless style that can be used to decorate any room in your home, but it is especially well-suited for the fall season. The classic blue and white color scheme is elegant and sophisticated, while the intricate patterns add a touch of whimsy.

To create a stunning fall tablescape using chinoiserie, add a pop of autumn color with natural elements such as fall flowers, pumpkins, gourds, and berries.

Here are a few tips for creating a chinoiserie blue and white tablescape with a pop of autumn:

Start with a neutral base. A white tablecloth or runner highlights the blue and white chinoiserie elements. I chose blue and white as base colors, using my chinoiserie vase as my inspiration.

Using this lovely salmon and white fabric, I made a runner to add color to my tablescape. The fabric is not too vibrant and still adds color and visual interest.

Add other autumn colors with natural elements: Place pumpkins, gourds, and berries in bowls and vases along the table’s center. You can also add sprigs of fall foliage to each place setting.

.These are all the lovely colors I wanted for this table. As I design a table, I generally add items and then remove them as I start to get a theme going. This was my work in process.

Use chinoiserie blue and white vases or dishes. This will create a cohesive look for your tablescape.

I chose these beautiful French mini blue tureens as additional blue that I could bring to the place setting. I layered using white and blue. The chocolate was added as a treat for everyone who sat at my table and had additional color.

I have been collecting these Hot Skwash pumpkins for a while now and love to bring them out for Thanksgiving. They add a beautiful velvet texture to the table that I love. I mix them with natural elements like real pumpkins and flowers.

Add touches of gold or silver. Gold and silver will add a touch of luxury to your tablescape. You can use gold or silver chargers, placemats, or flatware. I chose to add my sterling silver flatware.

Centerpiece: Place a blue and white chinoiserie vase in the center of the table. Fill the vase with a mix of autumn foliage, pumpkins, gourds, and berries. These centerpieces were removed before dining since they were a bit large. I place them on my sideboard as a decoration, still keeping all the pumpkins on the table for accents.

A chinoiserie blue and white with a pop of autumn tablescape is a stunning way to celebrate the fall season. The classic blue and white color scheme is elegant and sophisticated, while the intricate patterns add a touch of whimsy. Add a pop of autumn color with natural elements such as pumpkins, gourds, and berries to create this look. You can also add touches of gold or silver to add a touch of luxury. With some planning, you can create a stylish and inviting tablescape.

Hi, you don't have to answer this if you don't want to but what are you personal headcanons for the rose-xiao long family if you have any :)

I've been curious for a while now seeing how positively you view their family dynamic compared to a good majority of the fandom

i'm. honestly not sure if i really have any? like, canon provides sufficiently enough that i don't have this huge "need" to come up with any.

like, the most is derived from my own desire to "redesign" their house and where it's located lol. no one can tell me they wouldn't have a small garden in the backyard where they grow food during the summer—like carrots, onions, potatoes, etc—and that each plant has been named by ruby and yang. every single year there also has to be a patch for strawberries, as demanded by ruby (and tai is like, the worst when it comes to actually saying no to his daughters), doesn't matter that there are wild strawberries growing in the forest not even five minutes of walking away.

on the kitchen doorway there's height marks for each girl, always tracked on their birthdays—though the latest are from the day before they went to beacon, mainly bc ruby wanted to know how much she would grow during her time at beacon once she graduated.

and like, tai's overprotective but like i said, he's also the worst at saying no if ruby or yang really want something, so if ruby wants to make one of the most dangerous weapons the world has to offer to use as a weapon, well... he'd prefer if she picked literally anything else, please and thank you, but he'll also make the call to qrow to get his ass over here, ruby made a scythe but she sucks at it and now she's sad and this will not do. train her or else.

or how yang has a motorcycle like that's?? expensive??? but also a Death Machine™ like please, not again... but he's still going to save money for it and buy the dorkiest helmet possible as a promise that she will get her motorcycle, eventually, because safety is important and if yang wants to ride a motorcycle, she's gotta be prepared. (and yang could have absolutely bought a different, much cooler helmet by the time she actually got her bike, but the dorky helmet means something, so she wears it with pride.)

whenever qrow comes back from his missions, he brings some kind of souvenirs to the girls, especially when they were younger. he may not stay around for a long time each visit, but he tries to make it memorable.

there also totally should be a small lake within a five or ten minute walk of their cabin for swimming and fishing purposes, be it summer or winter, it makes no difference.

also x2 tai has absolutely tried to teach ruby and yang how to cook. ruby just seems to get distracted by something every single time, and yang just keeps discovering new ways to mess up to the point it feels like a sabotage, but she swears it isn't. the kitchen tho? definitely cursed.

Save Money By Buying Bar Stools Cheap

With such countless different ways to decorate your home, you can get lost on where to begin and how to spend your money. Yet, what things will make your home look the best for minimal measure of money, and yet not look cheap? A great plan to consider is to buy your bar stools cheap, when the spending plan is tight and there is minimal left on furniture, in the wake of redesigning. For those with this website restricted reserves, picking the right seat involves finding a suitable style, at the right level, to work with the open kitchen counter or pass through.

Here is a couple of thoughts of cheap bar stools that while not costing a ton will in any case add a great look to your home as long as you match it to your theme.

Steel frames with upholstered seats and wood tall chairs come in additional traditional and contemporary styles. They can be tracked down in many spots, so there is no lack of decisions accessible to the home owner. Different decisions incorporate fixed or turn seats. Then, at that point, there are high and low backs or no backs by any means.

An extremely modern form is a delicately bended seat with a low back made of Acrylic or plastic, with a steel frame with a level change. This type of seat enjoys a benefit, in that it very well may be utilized in at more than one counter or surface. Items like this frequently come as a bunch of 2, for $100 or less.

Another new model that is entirely alluring is the wooden seat, which supports the client and gives the right equilibrium. This style comes in many different wood gets done and can be bought fro under $50 each. A great choice for those need bar stools cheap, yet maintain that a wooden item should organize with the home's style.

A classic parlor style is the steel frame with the vinyl seat. This style will look great at a kitchen counter or in an engaging region. This type of seat can be fixed or turn, yet is one of the most comfortable for many families. Prices for this style are likewise truly sensible. Retail locations and many online stores offer a wide assortment of bar stools cheap, to choose from.

While these are the absolute most popular and ordinarily cheaply priced bar stools you might find better prices at neighborhood discount shops so make certain to look around. Buying your bar stools cheap may take some time in light of the fact that generally they are overpriced, yet in the end paying little heed to how much money you spend it's more important to feel far better about what you spent the money on.

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter.

Aries 

No matter what you think, we’re not here to judge you. Others might, but we won’t. To that end… You didn’t want to take down your… “Year-End Holiday Lights”, and that’s OK! But may we suggest you trade them out for those new-fangled color-programmable ones? Slave them to your Home Automation system and they’ll change with each new holiday’s theme with no direct input from you. Sadly we’ve already passed May 9th, which was Lost Sock Memorial Day. So add that to your holiday list for next year. 

Taurus 

Let’s face facts - you are never going to beat that Super Mario Brothers Arcade Game High Score anytime soon. Oh, you were good in your youth, and you could afford to buy an original 1983 coin-op cabinet to play on… but do you really think you can score over Five and-a-half Million Points to take the world record away? We don’t think so either. Save that $1,500 and take a vacation next month. 

Gemini  

Remember the cartoon series ReBoot? It was produced between 1994 and 2002. One of the opening lines was, “They say the User lives outside the Net and inputs games for pleasure.” Well guess what was released to the public in 2001 by Nintendo. That’s right… a Blue… Game… Cube! If Mainframe Entertainment had TradeMarked that term, they could’ve gotten some kind of marketing deal with Nintendo and had Money To Spare! (*Sigh*) This week, try to think way ahead.

Cancer Moon-Child 

There’s a specific set of dice that are used in table-top gaming: D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20. They’re all some typical geometric shapes, but. There have been some weird ones that’ve come down the pike ever since. So yes, you can buy a D1, which is a form that ALWAYS lands on a specific side, and the D7 which is a Klingon Battleship. This week, remember that The Fourth will be with you, Always. 

Leo 

You remember hearing how “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees is one of the best songs to use to time your CPR Compressions? It’s not the only one. You could use ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”, “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, “One Week” by the Barenaked Ladies, or, ironically enough, “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen. But if you really want to screw with the person’s head as they come to, have everyone around you hum “The Imperial March” from Star Wars. That’ll scare them enough to wake them up without resorting to smelling salts. This week, listen to some old music again.

Virgo 

Speaking of Smelling Salts… Don’t use them! Sure, it’s kinda funny to use them as a prank to wake up your friends when they’ve fallen asleep first at a party, but don’t use them when playing sports. Yes, you can get a hit of oxygen into your blood due to more respiration, but you don’t need it. You’re an umpire… at a Pee-Wee T-Ball league. Just relax this week.

Libra 

It’s five o’clock somewhere, so you might as well have a drink!  Come to think of it, have a lot of drinks, but make it a challenge; Run something through your Soda Stream that isn’t supposed to be. Something alcoholic. Better yet, you’re smart and innovative. The patent for the original “SodaStream”.. OH, sorry… the “aerating liquid machine” expired a long time ago. Go ahead and redesign it to work with liquors and make a killing in the Novelty Bar Drink market!  

Scorpio 

Speaking of drinks, Scorpio; This week you’re going to visit an old house. Make sure you have an extra-bright flashlight with you because you’re going to find a bomb. Not a munition, but an old Hawaiian Punch tin can from the early 1980’s. It’ll look like a blue and red mis-shapen rugby ball. DO NOT TOUCH THIS UNHAPPY ABOMINATION! Just take a picture and walk away. Leave disarming that to the professionals.

Sagittarius 

You need to clean up your Whatnot Drawer in the kitchen, like it or not. First off, that bag of rubber bands? They’ve dried up and crumbled into chunks. The super glue hasn’t dried out yet, but it’s almost ready to spill all over the battery cases. And as for those, you have three locations where you’ve been storing batteries. Just condense it into one place. This week just… get your act together.

Capricorn 

Sexy asked for, sexy delivered. We’re challenging you to buy the thinnest, tightest bikini possible for the summer. And before you ask, no! You’re not going to buy it from Wicked Weasle, the Barely There Bikini Shop, or Bitsy’s Bikinis. Head out to your local hardware store and get yourself a gallon of Benjamin Moore Latex, a 3-Inch natural-hair brush, and an understanding get-away driver for the beach. Good luck!

Aquarius 

You get a sexy one too! You’ve been worried about your weight, and we’re going to tell you not to. A couple kilos isn’t gonna kill you, and it might even be fun. Some of your clothing’s gonna fit a little tighter, look a little smoother, and need you to reconsider sporting underwear to keep the lines unblemished. Now, remember, we said “a couple” kilos, meaning two; not three or four. You start making excuses and rationalizations and you might as well buy an emergency sewing repair kit. Actually, do that anyway.  

Pisces  

When everyone said, “May the Fourth be with you”, and you answered back, “- and also with you”... We get it. It’s OK. It’s like muscle memory now. You can stop being embarrassed about it now. Just take a breath and have a drink of wine to calm your nerves. But, you know… not that watered down stuff. Drink the GOOD stuff. Riunite… on ice. It’s So Nice! (Yes, it’s a hold over from last week’s commercial theme. It was tough coming up with one for you, alright?)

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Discord.

"“Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really like is ever out of style.” "  -- Billy Baldwin

This is the color palette that I used when designing for this event. I used the basic blue and white and then added shades of orange and brown. The use of brown then allowed me to use a pink rose that is muted with some brown tones it is.

Design tip about color: Colors have varying degrees of other colors. This is because all colors are made up of different wavelengths of light. When two colors are mixed together, the wavelengths of light from each color overlap, creating a new color. The new color will have the wavelengths of light from both original colors.

For example, when red and yellow are mixed, the wavelengths of light from each color overlap, creating orange. Orange is a new color with wavelengths of light from red to yellow.

The amount of each color in a mixture will determine the overall hue of the mixture. For example, if you mix equal amounts of red and yellow, you will get a pure orange color. However, adding more red to the mixture will make the orange more red.

The same principle applies to all colors. When two colors are mixed together, the amount of each color in the mixture will determine the overall hue of the mixture. This is why colors can have varying degrees of other colors in them.

An example I used is the pink roses and the different blues I used in the design. The pink roses had a very low brown tone, and the blues were muted with white tones.

INterior Design Tip:

Not all colors are created equal when designing an event or interior space. pay attention to the overall value of the color, A color may work great with other items in the space, but another may not.

The Ultimate Guide: How to Define a Budget for Your Interior Design Project.

When you start an interior design project, whether it's updating a small corner or redesigning your whole home, the excitement can often be overshadowed by one big challenge—budgeting! It might seem overwhelming, but it's the key to making your dream space come to life without stressing or overspending.

So, how exactly do you define a budget for your interior design project? Let’s break it down into simple steps that help you strike the perfect balance between creativity and cost.

1. Know What You Want (and Need)

Before you even think about numbers, define your vision. Are you aiming for a complete makeover or just adding new elements? Understanding the scope of your project is key. It could be as minimal as updating furniture or as major as removing walls to create an open space. The clearer your goals, the easier it is to allocate funds.

A pro tip: List your needs vs. wants. For instance, upgrading your sofa may be a need, but adding a luxury chandelier could be a want. Knowing where to draw the line can help you prioritize when your budget starts stretching.

2. Do Your Research

Once your Wishlist is in place, it’s time to hit the Pinterest, websites, and home décor stores! Get a rough idea of how much different elements cost. Compare prices for furniture, paint, lighting, flooring, and décor items. Keep an eye out for sales or discounts—those can be lifesavers!

For those looking to save without sacrificing style, mixing high and low-end items is a great way to get the best of both worlds with Oye Turtle.

3. Set a Realistic Budget Range

Now comes the money talk. Based on your research, set a budget range that feels comfortable. For most interior design projects, it’s a good idea to allocate around 10-15% of your home’s value if you’re redesigning an entire space.

For smaller projects, break it down by room. Allocate funds based on priorities: for instance, the kitchen and living room may eat up a larger chunk of the budget than a guest bedroom.

4. Get Quotes and Compare

Before you dive in, get quotes from multiple vendors for big-ticket items like furniture, paint, and renovations. Comparing quotes can save you from overpaying and give you a better idea of where to allocate more or less.

5. Add a 10-20% Cushion for Surprises

The golden rule: Things will change. Maybe that custom cabinet you wanted turns out to cost more, or you discover a plumbing issue mid-renovation. Whatever the case, always add 10-20% extra to your budget as a contingency fund. This buffer will give you peace of mind when those unavoidable surprises pop up.

6. Stick to the Plan (As Much as You Can)

Impulse buys can be a budget killer. That dreamy rug or fancy backsplash may tempt you, but they can throw your financial plan off course. Keep referring to your original vision and budget plan, allowing for changes only if you have the funds for it.

Wrapping It Up

Budgeting doesn’t have to be stressful—it’s about being smart and planning well. By defining your goals, researching thoroughly, and sticking to a flexible but realistic budget, you’ll be well on your way to creating a space that’s both beautiful and bank-account-friendly.

And remember: creativity can often save you more than you think. A budget doesn’t have to limit your vision. Instead, it can inspire you to think outside the box and find innovative ways to create the home of your dreams.
