Tablescape Thursday October 15th



Decorating doesn't have to be a scary thing once you get past the hang ups of being overly concerned about what so many might think about the attempts made at making a seasonal statement. When you're having fun at decorating your own home or event, it doesn't have to cost alot of money or be overkill on the items. What's important is that you're enjoying this part of putting your domestic touches on H O M E.


Observing what others display or simple tips can go along ways!!!





Autumn Blessings to you. I needed some cheering up so I quickly gathered items about the house that I already had and played Tablescape.









A few weeks ago, I did buy a new tablecloth with matching napkins which surprised myself that it wasn't rust, deep orange or yellow in color. This Garnet caught my eye and so it made it's way home. With the leaves turning colors in this part of the country it's easy to see the bright oranges and yellows right next to deep reds and greens. When Christmas and Valentine Day comes, I'll use this tablecloth again.






Starting with the $9 Tablecloth I placed my $2 Silver tray and went from there.







A medium size $7 Walgreen's Ceramic Pumpkin mixed with smaller dollar ones are next.






Adding already on hand greenery with Thrift Store finds of miniature scarecrow and acorn cutie adorned the tray.



Indiana Harvest Milk Glass Goblets, Coffee Cups, Saucers with Dinner and Salad Plates are part of my new collection that I'm adding to as I find them. Table Napkins are decorated with Napkin Holders from Dillards. The holders were another Thrift buy that had never been opened and my everyday utensils were used.



I enjoy having virtual Tea on Thursdays with my friends, but last week I was too sick to do even that and this week isn't much better, so when I get around to it I will take Tea on the same tray and get some rest! Hope you're staying warm and well. Thank you for stopping by. You have cheered me up and warmed my heart. Can't wait to hear your news!

Simple pleasures for the H O M E front...God Bless and Best Wishes to you always,

~Deanna~

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
