Back in August, I did a tutorial on how to make a Table Garland Centerpiece. It was a beautiful, simple and very easy centerpiece to make. I thought I’d show you how to make the centerpiece in Fall colors using florals & foliage from Walmart.
And here is how I made it.
While I was shopping at Michaels, I came across a package of White Picket Fence. As soon as I saw it, I had several ideas for its use. Making Picket Fence Napkin Rings was just one idea.
And this is how I made them:
Cuisine Kathleen has issued another challenge, and I’m up for it! I love when Kathleen gives us these challenges. It really gets my creative juices flowing. This time it’s an apple theme.
I thought about using a red tablecloth, but decided not to. (too much red) So I went with a white underlay with a white lace tablecloth overlay. I brought in the red with the place mats & flatware.
I thought I’d show you how easy it is to make napkin rings with a theme. I’m doing apples this week for my Thursday Tablescape, so it’s only natural for me to have some apple napkin rings to go with it.
They were so easy to make, and they are so unique and very inexpensive. Here’s how I made them.
While I’m on the Apple Theme this week, I decided to make some new coasters for the table. They were surprisingly easy to make. The thing that made them a little long was waiting for the paint to dry.
And this is how I made them:
September is the back to school month. One of the symbols for that is the apple for the teacher. Apples are always popular this time of year, and I know that they’re very popular in decorating, especially in country decorating. Today, I thought I’d make an Apple Centerpiece to celebrate the beginning of Fall.
And this is how I made it:
I thought I’d show you how I organize my earrings. I’ve seen them organized online using framed screens, egg cartons, and even storing them on trays, but that drives me nuts. All it takes is bumping it once & you have a huge mess that can take hours to reorganize. And I really don’t have all that much room to store my earrings like that. If you read my post on Makeup Storage, you know that I like to have all of things close together, so that when I’m getting ready, I don’t have to run all over the place. Once my make-up is on, and my hair is done, the last things I put on are my earrings & watch, and I’m out the door. It’s like a one stop shop.
How do you take all of this and store it in a section that’s 5″ wide, 7″ deep, and 6″ high?
Once I thought it out, it was actually easy.
It looks like Fall is here. I love the cooler weather & the glorious colors of the leaves changing from green to golds, oranges & reds. With all of the changes occurring outside, I thought it was a good time to start changing some things around the house. For me, the first change is usually the wreath on the door. And this year, I wanted to bring in some copper colors to brighten the Fall colors up even more. Welcome Fall.
It’s football season. Here in the Steeler Nation, it’s a big deal. You see it everywhere. Everyone is wearing their team’s colors. It’s only September, and there is a sea of black & gold as far as the eye can see. And I’m sure, if you’re a football fan, you’ve got the television tuned in and everyone is watching. Decorating for that special day in your home is easy. You may remember this centerpiece from the Steeler Tablescape. I thought you might like to know how I made it. This can be made in any color combination, to go with your team’s colors.
It still feels like summer here in Western Pennsylvania. I’m just not feeling ‘Fall’ yet, even though it’s only a couple of weeks away. Today’s tablescape was inspired by the lovely dinner plates. I love the shades of Aqua, and the Iris in pink, purple & yellow make what could have been a plain plate, so very pretty.
