Time for Fall Tablescape

"Time for Fall" Tablescape

I love this time of year..when the leaves start to change and a cool breeze can be felt...although I haven't really felt that cool breeze yet! It is still hot and humid here in Texas..but I decided to do a fall tablescape to celebrate the autumn season. I have used all the fall colors...red, orange, green, brown and even white.

Here you can see my while tablescape in my golden yellow painted dining room. I recently recovered my dinning chair seat covers in a gorgeous red Tuscan fabric you can read about it...here

I love pairing the white napkin rings that I sell right here on my blog for only .75 cents each if you buy 12....with a dark colored napkin so that they pop right off the table with the high contrast.

I used a combination of silver and gold items...just using what I have. Silver candlesticks of which I forgot to put candles in them...silly me :) Gold silverware and golden hued goblets.

I decided to add a little extra fallish look by adding fall garlands around my chandelier.

So cute don't you think?

Tried to take the picture so you could see the chandelier and the table together in one shot.

For the centerpiece I used this very large glass cylinder vase (thrift store $7.00) and filled it with fall leaves and large tall white candle. The ring of acorns was made by my mom years ago and I thought it was a perfect fit as a candle ring! I put the cylinder on top of this really cool silver blackened candle holder to give it even more prominence.

I just love all the fall colors mixed up together to make a nice tablescape.

Oh and I can't forge to share my new fun idea for a place card!!..I took old pages from a book and folded it in half and also folded the bottoms in about 1/2" to make it sit securely on the table for a place card! I love the old look of the yellowed pages. Pretty Cool and totally cheap!!

I hope you enjoyed my "Time for Fall" Tablescape....in keeping with the "time"...I even put a little clock on the table you can see it in the picture above.

I hope you will all take advantage of the .75 cent napkin rings. Make sure you check out all the other things you can do with my napkin rings here.

Oh and tell me what you think of my new blog header...we are playing around with some new ideas that my daughter...Madeline has come up with.

Centepiece Wednesdays

Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday- Sunshine Of My Life

By The Style Sisters - Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday!!

Today I am dedicating this Tablescape to my 2 daughters who happen to be the

Sunshine of my Life!

I got my inspiration from Pottery Barn. This vase or candle holder looks like a fishbowl only they have a little pedestal under it and are charging $79.00

So I happened to have a lovely fishbowl that I bought from Walmart. I wanted my centerpiece to look like the pottery barn one but I did not have any nuts around so I filled the bottom of it with smooth black rocks. Then I added water about 3/4 full. Then I added the surprise texture of raffia!! I wound it around and let it soak in the water...then I removed the water and added a funky necklace that had brown beads and white pearls on it and tucked it in and around the raffia so you could see it when you are seated. Then since I didn't have any fresh Sunflowers I used silk and stuck them in down into the rocks to hold them in place.

Then I decided to use burlap as a tablecloth and I also wrapped up my chairs with a "ribbon" of burlap for an added touch.

All I did was wrap the "Ribbon" of burlap around the back of the chair and tied it in a knot.
I think it just adds to the look.

I used my yummy gold goblets and my green tall glasses, my dollar store black votive candle holders and white shabby frames with photos of my daughters in them.

They are the "Sunshine of my Life" and I miss living by them sooo much!
(My youngest just moved back to Utah so we are once again empty nesters)

I think this is a perfect End of Summer tablescape...you could put photos from some of the fun things you did over the summer and talk about it as you enjoy the meal.

The dinner plates are from Tai Pan (Utah), the gold and green salad plates are from Tuesday Morning, the Sunflower appetizer plates are from TJMAxx, the Napkins are from Jackalop (New Mexico) the goblets are from JC Penny's!
