For a mere $1.99 I changed this. . . .
in to this. . . .
Wanna see how?First, I cleared the table.... added a tablecloth and flipped the tablemats over from green to brown!
then I added the candlesticks back, and placed pumpkins (from our garden!) on top of them
next I added my lovely new birdcage in the center and some silk fall leaves (that I took from the tops of my kitchen cabinets where I had just placed them for my fall decor)
What? you want to see a close up of the pretty birdcage (last one in Target for $16, I bought a few weeks ago), oh ok
after that, I added back the plates, flatware and glasses from last weeks tablescape
and then for added affect I placed the new napkins from a few weeks ago, under the plates
not forgetting a few pretty votives too. Now, this tablescape as seen above cost me $0 (I don't count the cost of the new birdcage because I bought that a few weeks ago without thinking of tablescapes). So what cost me $1.99?New napkin rings, from Goodwill
I bought these this week (a set of 6) with the intention of using them on a tablescape ONCE I painted them black! But I thought I would add them to this table so I could place the yellow napkins back on the plates.
I love how this turned out. I think Imay leave this table set for a week or two until I can invite my inlaws over for dinner (not til next week because they will be out of town this weekend).Enjoy the rest of the pictures. . . . I'm off to check out all the other lovely Tablescapes at Susan's blog :-)

Love you xo
I really like the little pumpkins on the stands! This is a great idea.

Very nice fall table.
A great switch-a-roo!
Ooooo! This is great! You've given me all sorts of ideas - but the pumpkins on the candle holders - that one I'm borrowing for sure! Thanks for sharing! Come by and check out my giveaway - I think you'll like them! :)
Oh pretty -- and a completely different look! Presto- chango!
Very pretty, Denise! I will have to take notes. Someday I would like to do what you do with my table. It looks so elegant. Have a great Thursday sweetie. Big hugs!
Great show and tell.
Denise, that's quite a transformation! It's amazing how table linens and accessories can really change the look of a tablescape. You've inspired me!

Denise, you are a clever one. I like the way you shared the details of the change over. Both tables are so inviting. Your family is fortunate to have such a talented mom who enjoys setting the stage for a lovely meal. Don't you just love our rain? ~ Sarah
This is terrific -- I really enjoyed watching the step by step transformation. Wonderful autumn table.

Hi Denise,
This was so cleverly done! I liked seeing the step-by-step images. You really achieved two quite different looks by making subtle (and cost-effective!) changes.
The napkin rings added the perfect touch!

Hi Denise,
Love your fall tablescape. Very creative with the use of your own pumpkins....love that idea. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. Unfortunately, I don't have a tutorial on making the pumpkins topiaries. If you like I could write it up and email it to you.
