Moody Fall

These are actually outtakes from last year. I have been busy baking and practicing my skills in the kitchen, so I found these and thought I would post.

Moody and fall go together. It has also been cloudy so it was perfect.

September Baker's Rack

Today I am sharing styling the baker's rack for September.

I have often been very challenged by styling a baker's rack. They are tricky to arrange. This shelf is dedicated to baking supplies. 

I made an upcycled cottage-style skirt for the bottom of the baker's rack to hide the big things like appliances. This was upcycled from a linen shirtdress. It is the skirt of the dress I cut off and saved for years. The buttons down the front were already there, and it made a great cover for this because you can unbutton the skirt and access the things on this shelf.

One shelf has a tea set, of course, to go with what you bake.

And this September I made the Pumpkin Streusel Quick Bread. 

The top shelf is an assortment of things that are useful: a milk pitcher, water pitcher, sourdough crock, recipe box, and lantern for the days that are getting shorter.

And when the pumpkin bread is gone, I will replace the space with a basket of apples for September, of course.

January Baker's Rack

 

Have you ever looked into how to style a baker's rack? I have been working on this for at least 6 months, and nothing I put on here looked right. I finally decided it made a huge difference when I added the trays and the cutting boards. 

The homemade French bread was what I baked today. I've never made it before, but it wasn't bad for my first try. 

My son gifted me some fresh farm eggs from his in-laws when he visited. I love the colors, pale green and brown. 

A tea tray always at the ready seems to be a perfect addition to my baker's rack. Do you have a baker's rack? If you do, how do you use it?
