Tabletop Tuesday

Thank you Marty @ A Stroll Through Life for hosting Tabletop Tuesday. Be sure to drop by for inspiration.

I decided to show my simple dining room table as it looks today. I just finished this patriotic quilt and wanted to show it off. I don't have very much red, white, and blue around the house but I did find these red and white candles I used at Christmas and these red party thingies (don't know what you call them) from Valentines Day.

I hope to get around to adding my blue dinnerware for Tablescape Thursday. Be sure to stop back by.

Take Care and God Bless!

Tabletop Tuesday - China Cabinet

It has been awhile since I participated in Tabletop Tuesday (or anything else) so I looked around and tried to decide which display I wanted to photograph.

I finally decided on my China Cabinet. My father made this cabinet for met over 20 years ago. Isn't he wonderful with woodwork. Sometimes I have dishes inside (like now) . . .

And sometime I have my Home Interior Denim Day figurines in it. (Here are just a few of them.)

I usually change the top with the seasons also.

And I change the base top also.

Be sure to visit Marty's A Stroll Thru Life for more beautiful ideas.

Tabletop Tuesday - Kitchen

It's been quite awhile since I participated in Tabletop Tuesday(or anything else). So I decided to quit being so lazy and go take some pictures.

I started a post but then realized it was too late and not enough light in the room to take a decent picture.

So I ventured off into the kitchen and took a picture of one of my favorite groupings. It is very simple but I have such little counter space that I try not to fill it up.

This framed art is on the same counter over about a foot. It helps hide the plug in. The frame is from Dollar Tree and the flowers are embroidered on felt. I was trying out my new sewing machine and was about to throw this practice piece away when I though, "Hey, I could frame that and put it in my kitchen." 

Head on over to A Stroll Through Life for more Tabletops.

Take Care and God Bless.

Tabletop Tuesday

As I looked around to see which table top setting I wanted to share, I realized that the majority of decorating items I have are Christmas and/or winter items.

Even though we have been in our home for over 5 years, I feel like we are just now able to redo and fix up. We ripped out the carpet in most of the upstairs, leaving it in our den and office/library. Both of these rooms have pine on the walls and ceilings so we didn't want to add wood flooring. We plan to put tile in the office/library and replacing the carpet in the den with berber.

Anyway, this is the year I plan to purchase and/or make new decor for our formal living area. Right now I have a simple vignette on my sofa table and that is what I am sharing today.

Don't forget to stop by Grits and Glamour for more tabletop vignettes.
