From This ..... To That!

So, we went from this. . . . .

to this. . . .

which then looked like this . . . .

which I then moved downstairs and it looked like this. . . .

and I moved the 'bar height' table up to the game room and it looked like this . . . .

and a night time shot. . . .

I set the kitchen table a little more last night and played around with the camera a bit - thought I'd add these pictures and join in with Tablescape Thursday. Always a fun 'party'. Go check out all the other wonderful tables (after you've looked at mine of course!)

(above) gives you a better idea of how the table looks with the rest of the kitchen. I've kept the chairs from the other table as bar stools for now, because the bar stools I had there I just painted black and I don't think they go as well!

The table looks similar to the other setting I did HERE, (looks the same because I used a cream table cloth then) but I added green plates under the napkins, and new tea-lights I got from Ikea.


napkin rings bought recently from Pier 1



I love Kristen's beautiful center piece :-)

Hope you enjoyed the transformation :-)

I really like this table here--and it's so pretty in cream! I think you'll enjoy the bar height table in the gameroom, too. Good call!

I love the way you layer your linens to droop over the table. That is really pretty, and I want to try it sometime.

Very pretty!

Hi Denise :) I love the citrus colors on the table. The white really makes them pop. Very Summery. Thanks for sharing the table redo. It gives me hope. How long did it take you to do? Have a blessed day!
