Hand made jute tassel against the vibrant orange velvet.
Oranges, greens, browns and purples. All the colors of fall emerge and act as a signal to a great time of year full of fun and frolic and the holidays. As part two of my three part series on seasonal tables, I have created a table that celebrates the wonderful, vibrant colors of the fall season.
I challenged myself to create a table that references the fall season through color and texture, rather than using established icons like pumpkins, leaves and gourds. There is a certain balance between the rustic and the refined in this table scape. The birch bark that sheaths the zinc pots to the toile that was used for the napkins and window seat pillow covers. The chippy white painted columns used as centerpiece bases to the DIY mercury glass candle holders. The beautiful vintage amethyst cut glass plates against the home made jute tassels. The elegant orange velvet bands as a counterpoint to the vintage grain sacks used as chair slipcovers. All in all, a sweet way to welcome family and friends.
Credit where it is due, thank you to Vince at Good Look, Inc for collaborating with me on this table design…you continue to be a great resource to find the items for all my zany ideas, along with your great ideas and suggestions!
Here is what you will see:
- Old porch post cut down in sections for the centerpiece, holding candles and flower arrangements
- Zinc pot covered with birch bark for the flower arrangements
- Chair caning used for a table runner
- Hand made jute tassels
- Hand made coasters using chipboard with embossed pattern
- DIY Mercury glass candle holders using a pattern transfer method (how-to Click Here)
- Fall inspired pillow and cushion slipcovers
- Updated vintage napkins
- Vintage grain sacks used as a dining chair slip cover for a quick and simple update
- Simple grocery store flowers and fruits for affordable centerpieces
Pictures below. I hope you find some inspiration!
Always,
Cindy
