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!

This looks so pretty, Carlene! I love blue & orange together and added some blue to my Fall mantel this year. I love your tiered dish!
ReplyDeleteLove your tablescape, and what a find. I love it when I find things at such a good price.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Carlene! I too love blue and white. The painted tiered tray is perfect with your fall pumpkins!

Carlene, it is a pretty color combination. I love the way you've taken old pieces and turned them into something more appealing. The candlesticks and the tierd server look so good. laurie
ReplyDeleteReally pretty and how clever to paint the tiered piece! Of course, I love anything blue and white!
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Beautiful table vignette!
ReplyDeleteLove all your 'treasures' too.
You have an eye for putting things together, and re-purposing items.
Enjoy this evening.
