Fall Tour: the Dining Room

As you walk into the house the first room you see is the dining room on your right. I love to set a table for each season so that our guests feel welcomed. I set the table just for YOU, as you are our guests too! Come on in and have a seat!
 The colors for the table are dictated by the runner that I got last year. I love the sparkle and the black, gold, and silver colors! I found the pumpkin salad plates at Home Goods last year too. I LOVE them!!




 The beaded placemats are new this year. I found them at CTS!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that? I did a happy dance when I saw them:)
 I placed some of my favorite pumpkins on candle sticks to rise them for a beautiful centerpiece. They wander down the center of the table.
 This glittery, sequined pumpkin is so beautiful in person!
 2 more pretty pumpkins on candle sticks. Candle sticks are great things to use to rise things to a height to display them beautifully!

 The pumpkin and leaf pillows were found last year (after the season) at Bed Bath and Beyond. For the black pillow I just turned a printed one around!

 The dinner plate is my good china.
A glass pumpkin and
 and glass gourd.
 Now, let's light the candles!!!
 I had some tiny candles and then also put some votive candles in some mercury glass votive holders.
 The flatware is my good flatware that has a bamboo design.
 The napkins are hand embroidered. They were my MIL's and came from Italy.


 I would love to have a small, intimate dinner party at this table. Who wants to join us???:)
 
Thanks so much for your visit.
XO, Pinky

A Winter Vignette to Greet You!!!

I am having so much fun doing these winter vignettes! I did this one one the credenza that is in the hallway of the foyer. It cost me almost nothing too! This bird candle holder is new. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it! It was the starting point for the vignette.
 I placed a round candle in it. Reminds me of a snowball!
 I also am using some mercury glass votives.
 And some greens under cloches!
 I got a pair of these swans at Longwood Gardens several years ago. I love how they fit in just right.
 The pinecone garland has greens and browns so that determined the color choices for the vignette. The runner is old but just right for here.
 I am still debating about putting something on the wall behind the cloche.



 Here it is at night without any lights on.

 I put this sprig of greens here but have since removed it. Just not the right thing.

 Ignore that greenery:)
