There are tons of photos here and if you have already seen some of them, just mosey along...
Come on into my kitchen at "The Roost." This morning we enjoyed some scones and apple cinnamon tea with my homemade Pumpkin Butter. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I'm running all over town trying to find and taste everything pumpkin. I'm truly pumpkin-obsessed!
This Pumpkin Butter* is wonderful and since I've become a pumpkin-holic, I would know! It's wonderful to serve with scones, muffins, and biscuits. My recipe can also be used to bake a pumpkin pie!*The recipe for my pumpkin butter is at the end of this post.
It's easy to prepare and total yummy-ness!
I love Harney's apple cinnamon tea this time of year...
I moved my fav bunny to the breakfast counter...
Jean Paul says "Happy Fall Y'all!"
The kitchen sink. Lord have mercy, husband asked, "Do you have to show them everything?" "Yes Sir!"

Boo Y'all!
Looking into the breakfast area...husband says I have too much furniture. So, I moved two of the chairs away from the table. Hope he's happy now! The table, chairs, and sideboard are from Ballard Designs.
The chandelier is also from Ballard Designs and the darlin' chandelier shades are from The Pink Giraffe.
Love these monogrammed chandelier shades. They are the coordinated gingham check pattern to my Waverly 'Le Petite Ferme Spice' pattern...
Roosters and toile and gingham...all my favs!
Part of my ever-growing apron collection. I have about 20 more aprons I need to display somewhere, 'cuz they are soooo cute!!!
The door leading to our side porch is covered with the Waverly 'Le Petite Ferme Spice' Roman shade and topped off with a door topper from The Hobby Lobby...
The sideboard...
Miss Paula Deen is on deck on the sideboard! Love this book and I chose Paula's rooster-motif book holder to display it!!!

ReplyDeleteI have never made pumpkin butter. I had no idea it was that easy... I absolutely adore it! I am actually making a granola with pumpkin butter and I can smell it as I type... yum yum yum! I love your kitchen and all things pumpkin (and rooster too!)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is just darling! I love all of your fall decorations. Thanks for the pumpkin butter recipe. How easy. I am going to give this a try.

Gorgeous home!

Best wishes and thank you for the virtual tour!
Natasha.
Your kitchen is lovely, Miss Janice. I love all your furniture pieces. The black hutch turned out so well.
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds wonderful!
Happy Fall!
I love your decor! I can't get enough of it! I love anything monogrammed and you have got those bases covered. My grandmother had a sign that said "We don't care how you do it up north!" so your towel made me laugh! Your sassy southern decor is devine!
ReplyDeleteLacy
Yummy. I will be right over to enjoy that tasty pie and the pumpkin butter...oh my! Your kitchen is lovely. The rooster plate looks familiar. Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteLinda

ReplyDeleteOh, my Dear Miss Janice! I love your gorgeous kitchen! You're so sassy and cute! So is your kitchen. Love all of your decorations and your black hutch all decorated for Halloween is darling!! Thank you so very much for coming to my party and sharing your lovely kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your kitchen is decorated so pretty, I have my aprons hanging too somewhat like yours, I love aprons and they are so cute displayed....I have printed your pumpkin butter recipe and can't wait to try....sounds yummy! Very cute blog!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you store all of your seasonal goodies when they are not in use? I find that to be one of the biggest problems with having so many fun things. Most things have to be in a climate-controlled environment, and there is only so much space. Maybe you could do a post on storage tips.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
CHARM! That is exactly what popped into my head when I saw your kitchen. It is just charming!!
ReplyDeleteA gorgous kitchen! Everything is amazing. (I NEED A NEW KITCHEN..:)
ReplyDeleteI look and look and still see fantastic things...so lovely...
Love the color or your walls and the black hutch is great. I don't care how they do it up North either.
ReplyDeletewow looks like a magazine shoot!
ReplyDeleteI love how halloween-ish your hutch is decorated- it looks amazing!
ReplyDeletePumpkin butter is one of my favorite things to eat with biscuits in the fall, but nothing will ever top apple butter for me! Enjoy the day!
So charming kitchen, a wonderful decor!

Lovely kitchen! I am crazy about that hutch. Kathy
ReplyDeleteI love the chandelier shades but the pink giraffe doesn't seem to have them on their website. Pooh!
ReplyDeleteLove your decor. I have "we don't care how you do it up north" cocktail napkins.
Thanks for the tour of your pretty kitchen! Something to crow about!
ReplyDeleteDear AngelaV,
ReplyDeleteGo to www.ThePinkGiraffe.net and search under "Monogrammed lampshades," then search under "Small monogrammed lampshades." The owner Eliza will customize the shade for you.
Miss Janice
Your kitchen is warm, lovely and inviting! I especially love all of the beautiful seasonal displays you do!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind me asking you a question.
How and where do you store all of your seasonal decor? I would love to see a post on your organizational abilities!
I absolutely love and want every cute little thing in your gorgeous kitchen!!! It is all just the kind of stuff that makes me want to squeal! You have totally convinced me to paint my hutch black after seeing how good yours looks. I have been thinking about it and now I know that is want I should do. Thanks for all the great inspiration in this wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully warm kitchen. I wanted to thank you for the pumpkin butter recipe. My son loves it in oatmeal -- never thought of making it from the canned pumpkin. I was always thinking it was either ready-made or you had to start with the gourd. Duh! Thanks for saving me hours this winter. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at all the decor woman! I love how the wineman delivers!! Mine use too....I need to get back into that..I miss it but once a month wasn't cutting it, LOL!!!
I also have that same lil chalk board on stand that holds the ribbon!
