There’s more to autumn in the kitchen than pumpkin spice everything! There are simple ways to use rustic farmhouse decor items to transform the kitchen and dining rooms into fun fall spaces. 


The Purple Rose Home 2021 fall collection just launched, and we’re thrilled to offer a wide variety of accessories that are functional and add bucolic charm to your environment. We’re always looking for vintage style farmhouse décor items with tones of burnt orange, black, deep brown and natural wood colors. Let us know what you think of this new collection!

Paulownia Wood Cake Stand

Paulownia Wood Cake Stand

We love finding items that are wonderful to look at as well as functional, like this natural wood-toned cake stand. I can imagine a lovely snowflake coconut layered cake on this slightly white-washed cake stand. Or how about a deep, dark chocolate indulgence?  Imagine the “wows” from your guests. While not in use, the cake stand also works well in a shelfscape or on a table, waiting for your next baking inspiration.

Paisley Wooden Planters

Paisley Wooden Planters

Continuing with natural-toned wood, these paisley wooden planters also make charming decorative bowls for your kitchen table or counter tops. They’re carved from paulownia wood and available in two sizes. You can nest a faux plant in the base or use it to store your hand-picked orchard apples, which will bring seasonal colors into your kitchen styling.

Aqua and Rust Stoneware Pitcher

Aqua and Rust Stoneware Pitcher

It’s time to elevate your rustic farmhouse kitchen or dining room with this gorgeous stoneware pitcher. The subtle blue-green color works well with a variety of floral stems, whether fresh, dried or faux. We fell in love with the thin handle and ample spout. And, if you can imagine giving it up, It makes a wonderful gift, too.

Flower Market Botanical Prints 4 Styles

Artwork is a simple, budget-friendly way to shift your space for the changing season. We’re always looking for some unique items for you Rose Buds, and I think these framed botanical prints do the trick! They will work in a variety of rooms – including the kitchen and dining rooms. I also think a flower-themed piece of art as a gift says, “I adore you.”  (Each style is sold Individually.)

Driftwood Tealight Holder

Driftwood Tealight Holder

We get a lot of requests for smaller décor items that add small touches of rustic farmhouse flavor. This driftwood tealight holder has a vintage feel, and it will integrate nicely in a variety of spaces. Add some light to a darker corner with this charming candle holder, or use it in a mantelscape or shelfscape. (Sold Individually.)

Here's one of our favorite finds of the year - and it's sure to be one of yours, too. And, wow, what a great gift idea! These glass tealights come in a mix of designs and tones, including green and amber, and they work so well together. Imagine a tealight in each of these, flickering on your dining table.

Acacia Wood Salt & Pepper Mills Set

Acacia Wood Salt & Pepper Mills Set

We also receive lots of requests for natural-toned items for the kitchen – so here you go! These lovely carved acacia wood salt and pepper mills are functional, yes, but also look great as part of a shelfscape. The gold finish on the stainless steel adds a nice little, shiny pop, too. (Sold as a set.)

Square Woven Jute Pot Holder

Square Woven Jute Pot Holder

When cotton doesn’t do the trick, this woven jute pot holder goes to the next level. Though I question if it even needs to be removed from the display hook, it’s functional as well as decorative. Why not get two, one for using and the other for adding some rustic charm to the kitchen?

Acacia Wood Cutting Board

Acacia Wood Cutting Board

These gorgeous cutting boards are each one-of-a-kind and made from acacia wood. It’s big and ready for large jobs in the kitchen. Or, you can use it to serve fresh-baked bread. It even looks fantastic as a wall display. Looking for a birthday gift? Trust me, they don’t have one of these – yet!  Oh, and it also makes the perfect charcuterie board.

Dark Stained Teardrop Board with Leather Handle

Dark Stained Teardrop Board with Leather Handle

Here's a unique item that will look wonderful in a boho-style kitchen or dining room. The acacia wood cutting board has an unusual teardrop shape and comes in a dark brown, natural tone. There's a simple loop at the end for hanging, as this is a piece of art - that's also functional! (Do you sense a theme here?)

Gather Wood Serving Tray with Black Handles

Gather Wood Serving Tray with Black Handles

We're constantly looking for wood pieces that go well in the kitchen, dining or entertaining areas of the home. The natural wood tones and grains on this serving tray are very traditional yet the shiny black handles give it a hint of modern flavor. The word "gather" is burned into the center of the tray and we couldn't agree more. Let's gather and enjoy a fine meal together.

Revere Candlestick Extra Long

Revere Candlestick Extra Long

Here's a sleek, thin, super tall black candlestick we couldn't say no to. We're often asked about items that can easily look fresh for a new season. Here you go. Add some creamy, white candles or go a little wild and add some candles tinted in forest green or rusty orange. Consider adding one or more to your mantelscape or the dining room table. (Sold Individually.)

Cast Iron Black Candlestick 3 Sizes

Cast Iron Black Candlestick 3 Sizes

This cast iron number comes in three heights, sold individually, but they look fantastic lined up in a row. We love the shape of these sleek candle holders, too.

Lotta Linen Like Table Runner 108"

Lotta Linen Like Table Runner 108"

If you’re thinking about giving your dining room table a simple, fresh makeover for fall, look no further. This soft, linen runner has a creamy-natural tone, which really makes gray or black dishware stand out. Add some black candle sticks, like the ones above, or a small pot with seasonal florals for a centerpiece that pops.

A little bit of rustic farmhouse décor goes a long way in transforming your abode from summer breezy to warm and cozy. We’re thrilled with all the natural colors and textures, along with the metalwork in the collection and we’re looking forward to your feedback.
