FALL TABLESCAPE ON THE BACK PORCH AND $500.00 GIVEAWAY
Giveaway is at the bottom of this post!
I love to be outside during the fall… even more than summer! Fall weather here is usually stunning. Crisp and no humidity and there are days that are so perfect you have to pinch yourself to make sure they are real! The scenery begins to change and become saturated with the most gorgeous autumnal colors! Now is the time to get outside. So I’m heading to the little table on the porch and setting it for an easy, intimate dinner for two full of early fall charm!
I’m thrilled to be a part of…
Maples are the first trees to “turn” and if you look very, very carefully at our red maples you can see a couple of leaves already turning a beautiful autumn color. The tops of our trees have many more colorful leaves!
I love black and white with fall colors… so dramatic!
A small stack of dishes and a pretty leaf bowl are arranged at each place setting. the detailed edges and shapes of the dishes adds lots of interest to the table!
Napkins were “fluffed” in coffee mugs and amber goblets wait for cider!
Just for fun I tucked a few faux fall leaves along with the napkins into the mugs!
These willow placemats are new to StoneGable this fall. I love their twiggy texture! Simple white handled forks and knives work well with today’s lunch!
The centerpiece is a vintage chamber pot I got on a recent shopping trip. I know what they were used for, but I just love their shape!
Planted in the pot are 2 small mums and a tiny flowering cabbage! I added a white pumpkin, some pinecones, a seed pod and a few sprigs of fall leaves.
The pumpkin is faux. It was once orange and I painted it white and added a real stem. To see how easy it is to upcycle your orange pumpkins click HERE.
Bobby and I are going to have a intimate dinner on the porch. We will listen to The Standards and have a few laughs! This is how we build fall memories!
Here are some recipes from our dinner:
Look for the APPLE CRISP IN A JAR recipe this Sunday afternoon at StoneGable.

Love your back porch! Good thing I don’t live closer or I’d be dropping by.
Hi Yvonne, I love today’s post and I don’t know if it’s been said before but thank you for making it so easy to pin. On some other websites you have to search up and down the page and still don’t have any joy.
I just recently found you and really love your posts. My tastes run similar to yours and oh how pretty is your luncheon table. We have eaten outside on our back porch all summer! Forgotten what it’s like to eat inside lo! I don’t want the warm weather to end but look forward to a fabulous fall. Cheers!
You gave me a great idea. I think I might just make a romantic dinner for two tonight! Beautiful table setting!
This is the most stunning tablescape I’ve ever seen. Absolutely beautiful.

LOVE the black and white with fall colors, who knew!!! Thanks for all you do❤️
Love!! Where did you find those black and white checkered napkins? I love them!
Hi Betty, The checked plates came from HomeGood year ago! If you like them search online!
Love!! Where did you find those black and white checkered napkins? I love them!
I’m on it! Thank you! I’m new here! I love your style!
Love your tablescapes. Unfortunately, I don’t have a smart phone and your app doesn’t appear to be available for iPads.
Beautiful! I love the willow placemats…can you tell me where you got them? I can’t believe fall is starting, I’m not ready yet!
Hi Amy, I hope you don’t mind my answering you. I purchased mine years ago from Williams Sonoma; it’s a best seller so they might still have them. I also have seen them at World Market. I’ve used these for so many occasions, that they’re one of my favorite go to placemats; their size is great for 12″ buffet plates! I hope you can find them.
Yvonne,
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Woke today to temps in the upper 40’s here in Minnesota – looks like the crisp air is here to tease us. I cannot wait for all the fall colors to pop.
When is your book due out?
I would love to sit out there on that beautiful porch surrounded by all that beauty. Well done!
Love your table, what a view. Eating outside on the porch is the best. I really like your white plates.
Have a great day.
Such a beautiful table and porch with a view!! Thank you for sharing this special place with us!!
Thanks Janet, our view is always changing around here!
It looks like a lovely giveaway! I don’t have a smart phone either. Your fall tablescape is beautiful and well planned out, Yvonne.
Does one have to have smartphone to enter? ;(
A smart phone or an ipad.
I love, love the idea of a faux pumpkin with a real stem! I shall look for the best-stemmed pumpkin this fall! Thank you!
Lovely………the beautiful table and the view! I so miss Pennsylvania in the fall!
Yvonne, your table is beautiful, what a wonderful, relaxing place to have an Autumn dinner! Fall is my very favorite time of the year and your porch is the perfect place to enjoy it!
Yvonne, you just keep you’re readers happy each time you write a post and I really think each is better than the last. The porch tablescape is just lovely. Thank You and God Bless, and have a wonderful fall weekend.
What a beautiful, inviting setting! I downloaded the bHome app – that is going to be a dangerous one for me! Thanks Yvonne!!
Gorgeous Yvonne…..I cannot wait for the temps to be pleasant to eat out on the porch!!!….your porch is so beautiful with the most bucolic view!
Just beautiful Yvonne……as always!
I so love your house! That back porch is so beautiful. I would never want to come inside.
How pretty Yvonne, I love the pop of black and white you have mixed in.
Love the look would love to have a meal on your porch. Beautiful!
You mention the shape of chamber pots. WHT is that shape.
What are demi Zions of a chamber pot?
Tell us more!!!!! PLEASE
Hi Nan, not sure what a demi Zions is… But the container that hold the mums is a chamber pot and that is their shape.
I’m always so amazed at how you use black & white…it ALWAYS looks amazing! Very beautiful, Yvonne:)
Yvonne,
Gorgeous black and white with PoPs of orange, dear friend!!!
Your arrangement is lovely!!!
“Mr. Ed” and I spent the morning out of doors here on the Prairie!!!
Perfect Autumnal weather!!!
Thanks for sharing and inspiring!!!
Fondly,
Pat
i wanna come have dinner with you guys and build memories too and your gorgeous table! hope to see you again soon!
Laura, I would LOVE that! Come visit! You are the best!
Really beautiful, Yvonne! Love those goblets!!!
What a gorgeous setting…this has inspired me to try a small table on our deck. Table for 2 would be so romantic. Will have to wait for next year though…it’s 56 degrees already!! You rock, Yvonne! XO
Right back at you Julie!
Yvonne your styling is just lovely… I have taken a few notes for an upcoming event! Thank you for the inspiration and for your truly charming comment on my bHome Fall Tour post!??
LOVE your gorgeous home and styling too Cynthia!
Such a beautiful setting for an intimate meal for two! I think I would eat there always. I’m envious of all that endless green space beyond your porch as well! Love the arrangement in the chamber pot too! 🙂
Gorgeous view and tablescape. The placemats look so versatile and I am in love with those leaf bowls….would you mind sharing where you got those? They are such a nice way to add a fall look to a place setting without a complete set of autumnal patterned dishes. I think my family will enjoy the soup recipe as well. Hope your evening meal on the porch was filled with memorable moments.
Hi Doreen, the leaf bowls came from HomeGoods a few years back. They are popular and I still see them now and then!
I’m squealing with delight at those little leaf dishes Yvonne. They are totally adorable, as is the whole setting. Couldn’t think of a more perfect place for a fall lunch.
Hugs – Kerryanne
Gorgeous table setting, Yvonne! Because we live not far from you it’s easy to envision the beautiful farmland autumnal views we are so very fortunate to have the honor of enjoying year after year here in PA. I feel so blessed and know you do too.
Thank you sweet, Bobbi!
Yvonne you are the queen of tablecapes! Absolutely gorgeous! Your meal sounds delicious too!
We certainly are two of a kind with our love for black and white aren’t we Yvonne!! Your tablescape is stunning!! Soooooooo wish I could come over for a visit and a long chat!! Sensational decorating as always, it all takes my breath away! Pinned 🙂
So, so pretty as a picture Yvonne! It really is a stunning table for two. I can finally feel the crisp air coming our way soon!
GORGEOUS!! Yvonne you amaze me every single time! This is absolutely lovely in all of it’s fall glory and I just wish I could join you there on your beautiful back porch. Hugs to you friend!
Beautiful table, Yvonne! I’m coming over for a goblet of cider 🙂
Oh, Yvonne, everything looks so beautiful. I would love to sit on your porch and enjoy your company and the view.
Love the black and white with fall colors 😉
I love your collection of napkins. Do you have a favorite place to purchase? Thank you for designing your site with the reader in mind. You have made it so easy to navigate and pin!
What a beautiful setting for a fall meal. I love your porch rug and the leaf bowls. I had to laugh a little at your use of the chamber pot for a planter. Great idea! Thank you for sharing.

Inspiring as always! I just went out to my garage and retrieved a white soup tureen I had put on the garage sale pile. What was I thinking ? It’s not a chamber pot, but it will do.:-) Thanks for the recipes too. I LOVE your recipes !
Dear Yvonne, The tablescape is lovely. The black napkin pairing is striking with the white and autumn colors. All that said, I love that you love Bobbie and that you are intentional about your relationship. I think you are a Proverbs 31 woman.
Enjoy your meal with such a pretty place setting and Fall colors. Hope it’s not as hot there as it is here !
Your round placemats placed up against a wall on a mantel or other display shelf would add interesting texture and shape for a fall vignette.
Your table settings are a treat. I’m always seeing something new to try.
Yvonne, as always, your table setting is lovely, and the menu sounds so delicious! I can’t wait for it to cool down a little more so we can have this meal on our back porch!
I am a new follower of Stone Gable, and every day I look forward to seeing what is new. I especially like the black and white in the Fall table arrangement. Like another commenter, I too have a white soup tureen that will be coming out of storage to be added to my Fall table. Thank you for the great ideas!
Welcome to the StoneGable, Robin! So glad you joined our wonderful communities!
Spectacular! I have never seen a porch, tablescape, or door that you “dressed” that was not sheer bliss. And here is another one that just embodies the tone and feeling of, StoneGable, “Take me away!” Thank you. So award worthy!!
You are so so sweet, Sherry! Thank you!
What a wonderful fall table setting. So many sweet suggestions to invite a friend for a Fall brunch on the porch.I especially like that food suggestions are included.
Makes me want to be sitting there too. Love your blog. You have such style.
Really like the fall you do a great job using what God has created to decorate with and what can be purchased to warm our homes and hearts.
The table setting is awesome! I would love to have the ladies from church to my house using that.
