Thursday, January 14, 2010 Set The Table
Christmas came and went too fast. Admittedly, it was hard to take down the decorations. We surely didn't go overboard this year, but it was nice to have a little whimsy in our home. I wanted to do something to make the house feel "decorated" but not over done, so I turned to the living room to help boost the seasonal vibe.
It was quite easy to use stuff I had around the house to create a winter-y centerpiece I was happy with. I took a petite cake stand, which is all glass and built an atrium like home for my "candles". Look close! Those are electric candle in there, which is good because real ones couldn't work in that environment. I added a bright cake stand to place my stark winter white tea pot on, and put my mushroom atrium below.
Under all the pieces I layered doilies of different shades of white atop a fake wood grain table cloth. And there you go! I feel festive and happy whenever I look at it. Plus is was inexpensive, easy, and everythign can be reused for something else.
