My Skirted Table

After seeing skirted tables around Pinterest and Blogland I finally have my own version. Remember how it dawned on me that my parent's had a table base in their garage? Well, I dug it out, dusted off the cob webs (literally) and hauled her home. I'm so glad I did! Here's how the new corner in my living room looks after I passed off the fabric to my seamstress! 

The photograph is one of my favorites of my Grandma who just recently passed away and my Grandpa. It was taken at my cousin's wedding when Nannie was glowing with happiness. 

The broaches are from my late Nana. She passed them on to me and I love how displaying them not only reminds me of her, but it brings out the beauty in the pieces. 

The neutral fabric was decided upon since there are so many other patterns and colors occurring in my space. I wanted a classic look that wasn't overpowering. This corner makes me so happy now! Sometimes I just stand there and stare at my new table. Yep, I'm kind of crazy like that.

Oh, do you see a sneak peek of my new Chloe sofa too? Come back tomorrow to see the rest of the living room complete with new furniture!

Our Thanksgiving Table

Our dining room rarely gets used, so I especially wanted the table to look festive for Thanksgiving. The dining room and entry way are right across from one another so why not carry the harvest theme between spaces?! The best part is that I didn't need to purchase much because I shopped my home for items to use on the table. In fact, the only thing I purchased was pine cones. 

The name cards were printed from here.

Entry Way Love

I'm in search of a grand pedestal table to convert an empty, bland foyer into an eye catching space that you see as soon as entering the home. The home owner has a large rug already and artwork, so the table and accessories will complete the transformation. Stay tuned to see how the space turns out. Here are some of the inspirtations for the makeover.
