A Fall Dining Table Display

September 06, 2012
I never seem to run out of things to blog about, but I am always short of time to blog. When I have days off work, I tend to blog up a storm. That is the case today with three posts!

For this post of my fall dining table vignette, I have started with that old tiered, wooden tray I purchased earlier this year and repainted white.


Here is the tray as I found it for $2.


The tiered tray also was painted with the dry brush technique, Rustoleum Heirloom White, and slightly distressed.


I added blue and white cups and saucers to the bottom shelf and real mini pumpkins and faux leaves and berries to the top bowl.

The candlesticks were just purchased at a consignment shop for $3. They were stained wood and I gave them the Heirloom White treatment too.

There is a Blue Willow covered dish and a Sadler teapot.


Today, I have framed my fall display photos on Picasa with museum matte for a different effect.


The book was a recent $2 find "Prayers for Girls" by Elisabeth Robinson Scovil, 1957.







I got my inspiration for the combination of blue and white dishes and fall orange from a tablescape done by Yvonne at Stonegable.

It is a pleasing fall combination!

  3. I have used the Heirloom White in the spray paint. Do they have it in a can as well. I like it painted white. SO much better than the original state.

  13. Hi Carlene. I just came over from Olive Out's blog where I saw your comment about being from Minnesota. I am from Minnesota too in the southwestern part. You must be from northern Minnesota with the low temp you had this morning.
    I have looked through several of your posts and love the way you decorate junk/treasures. I am now your newest follower.
    I have a daughter whose middle name if Carlene.

  14. Beautiful table vignette!
    Love all your 'treasures' too.

    You have an eye for putting things together, and re-purposing items.

    Enjoy this evening.
