My Fall Kitchen & Main Street Market Rockford

If you have been following Hello Lovely for any time at all, you know I am not one of those decor bloggers who redecorates every 3 months. While mine is a creative spirit, I don’t have a heart for trends or changing things around too much. What I love is timeless and tranquil all year round with little need for reinvention or refreshing beyond a few linens and accessories. My Fall Kitchen & Main Sreet Market Rockford will (1) give you a few glimpses of the flavor of fall decor I favor: pastels with pops of warmth and (2) highlight some of my favorite moments at my favorite local open air market.

My Fall Kitchen

What changes happen to the kitchen in fall?

Pale and lovely for fall. Hello Lovely Studio. My Fall Kitchen, 2018 and Main Street Market Rockford, Fall 2018.

Simple oak branches from right outside the door come inside to hang out with a few gourds.

I bake homemade old fashioned sourdough bread all year, and there’s nothing like the aroma of cinnamon bread baking in the oven when the temperatures begin to drop outside, warm apple cider sounds delectable, and the cozy sweaters come out of storage.

I began collecting pottery from Rae Dunn many years ago before her rise to fame when I followed her wonderful blog – I love its wonky imperfectness.

Fall Plate & Easy DIY

I found this vintage, Ridgeway, scalloped edge plate at the thrift store the other day.

I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

The foam pumpkin is from Dollar Tree painted with a little BENJAMIN MOORE Revere Pewter (EXACT Product HERE). I popped off the stem that came with it and replaced it with a silk rose (FIND HERE) I snipped from its stem and dipped in plaster mixed with water for a pancake batter consistency (FIND IT HERE).

Total cost: less than $2.

A Favorite Old Vase

Not that foam ones can ever compete with nature. I bought the very old jar with the best aqua color at Nellie’s Barn Sale years ago when the sale was held in the organizer’s backyard which just happens to be a stone’s throw from my own home.

That Vintage Steel Cart

I shared with you the story of my still relatively “new” old wabi sabi work table RIGHT HERE, and we still love it! It gets so much use, and it is one of my favorite finds for this home.

In our Lovely Tranquil Classic Kitchen is a mix of modern and vintage design elements. An industrial steel cart (painted Annie Sloan Paris Grey), Shaker cabinetry, marble subway tile backsplash, stainless pro appliances, fireclay farm sink, white oak hardwood flooring, and Viatera Minuet quartz on counters. #hellolovelystudio #whitekitchen #serenedecor #timelessdesign #modernfarmhouse #europeanfarmhouse #industrialcart #marblesubwaytile #whiteoak #viateraquartz #minuet #anniesloanparisgrey #steelcart

Main Street Market Rockford

Every fall and spring in Rockford, IL, swarms of farmhouse style fans gather from around the country for a fabulous open market specializing in country farmhouse finds – with vintage, handmade, and new in the mix. The sale features 150 wonderful vendors and is the brainchild of Urban Farmgirl.

So much to love at Main Street Market Rockford in the fall!

This video is so worth your time and truly captures the market’s spirit. You’ll even spot some weathered green shutters that I ended up buying later in the day! Ha! You’ll also be introduced to my favorite vendor at this fall’s market: Evelyn’s Acre (keep reading to see why!).

I always attend this market, and even with the crowds, I fortuitously bump into the Urban Farmgirl herself and sneak in little interviews. This year, she told me I need to check out Urban Farmgirl’s new local warehouse (well new to me anyway) so I intend to! If ever you find yourself near Rockford, make sure to pop into her shop: 2202 Rural Street.

Oh, guys. This young couple and their camper blooming with smiles and fresh bouquet ingredients was beyond adorable. The baby was due the day of the market!

They travel all over locally with this concept of building your own bouquet – it’s a simple yet widely popular invitation. They grow some of the flowers, and I asked if they had big dreams to be farmers and grow lots more blooms…why, YES, yes they do! Lately I have found myself interviewing a variety of sellers of fresh flowers, and they are all extremely happy people…coincidence?

      Sure. I bought them – several different styles (some are distressed canvas and others are Belgian linen) from Restoration Hardware. You can likely still find Belgian linen pillows from them, but the printed vintage looking ones are difficult to find and sometimes show up on ebay here: http://fxo.co/6F7j. Hope this helps.

    What a lovely, uncluttered kitchen with just the right amount of Fall decor to say “Hello there lovely!” 😉

    I too painted one of those bright orange Dollar Tree pumpkins. I do light naturals in my home too. I painted it with various craft and other latex paints to look similar to a Jaradale pumpkin (blue-ish green in color)….all paint I had on hand. It took several light coats of paint layered on to look just right. The extra light coats of paint also eliminated the little ‘holes’ and the seam of the styrofoam. 😉 I took off the ‘stem’ and inserted a dried & broken small, squat branch from a bush in our yard. It looks uncannily real!

    So much fun with dollar items and no need to purchase real ones (that don’t last as long).

    LOVE your light approach to fall decor 🙂

      You’re amazing! Thank you for your help with painting these foam pumpkins -I didn’t even see the silly holes until I posted the images! ha! I definitely have more painting in my future, and I love the idea of a fresh branch for the stem – in fact I collected a bunch of stems which had fallen off the gourds at the local market so I do have a supply. 🙂 Are you ready for your column as a DIYer/creative dynamo on this blog? Because I am often too lazy to capture the steps and create tutorials! Happy fall, friend.

        I would love DIYs that are tasteful. Bring them on! Your roses dipped in plaster are like little pottery pieces. I have some faux roses ( not sure why I bought them) that I going to snip, dip and display!
        I decorate very simply for fall. I have two cream coloured glass pumpkins of different size that I put out. That is it! I like to use rose hips and branches in vases or pitchers, along with a few baby boos in a dish. Autumn is more a time for cozy throws, candlelight and a lit fire.
