Welcome to the 221st Tablescape Thursday! (Pssst: The seasonal footer at the bottom of BNOTP is all decked out with Christmas and Holiday posts.) As I put this table setting together yesterday, I thought I was creating a Christmas tablescape. Once I sat down and began writing my post, I realized this is really a great "transition" table, a table that's as much at home for a fall or Thanksgiving … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 218th Tablescape Thursday! Recently, I was chatting via email with Dawnette. She was telling me how she was inspired to participate in a competition for "the best dressed table" at her county fair this year. Does the county fair do that in your town, too? Dawnette said, "The two table themes to chose from were Victorian for 2, which was the formal table and an Engagement Party for … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 212th Tablescape Thursday! Yesterday, I posted some pictures of the mantel in the family room all dressed for autumn. It became the inspiration for this week's Tablescape Thursday. Often, the treasures we love and use when decorating our home work well in a centerpiece for a table setting, too. I almost put this tablescape in my dining room since the colors are … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 210th Tablescape Thursday! It's been beautiful weather here...perfect time for another tablescape out on the deck. Try to ignore my slightly bedraggled plants. I haven't done the greatest job watering them lately. This fall table setting is all about the colors of autumn...reds, golds and touches of green. Bird's-eye view... I didn't … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 209th Tablescape Thursday! Thanks so, so much for all your supportive comments yesterday. A special thanks to all the dear-hearts who signed up for the BNOTP RSS feed, e-mails and "Liked" BNOTP on Facebook. I feel so blessed to have you here reading. I've said it before and it's still true. You are the very best part of BNOTP! Appreciate you so much! Autumn is in the … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 167th Tablescape Thursday! It was a gorgeous day here so I spent some time playing outside on the porch. The leaves are changing and the fall colors are spectacular. I brought those colors to my table setting for Tablescape Thursday. I shopped the house and snagged a floral arrangement from the family room for my fall tablescape. I liked it, but ultimately I changed it out … [Read more...]
Welcome the the 163rd Tablescape Thursday! Cool fall nights are perfect for hot chocolate out on the porch. Where would you like to sit? How about on the swing? There's a soft, warm blanket to keep you warm and a great book awaits. The late afternoon sun is so wonderful streaming in across the porch. The … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 161st Tablescape Thursday! Though the leaves on the trees are still very green and the temps reached well int the 80's today, I was so in the mood to for a fall table setting. Besides, Friday is the first official day of fall. I've always wanted to create a table setting with magnolia leaf chargers. I just thought it would be for a Christmas tablescape. But, why wait for … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 137th Tablescape Thursday! It was gorgeous here today. It was so pretty I was tempted to put this tablescape out on the porch, but the pollen is insane right now. If you look closely, you can see it out there on the porch floor. That isn't dust...that's pollen! Yikes! We'll tablescape out there soon, but for now let's stay inside where it's a little less messy. So come on in and … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 115th Tablescape Thursday! I started this tablescape on the porch a week or so ago when the weather was still in the 70's. By the time I took pics today, it was rainy and somewhat chilly out. I had so much fun playing though, I forgot all about the dreary weather. As you view this tablescape, imagine it with woven or ratan chargers in a warm brown. Unfortunately, I didn't have any but … [Read more...]
