New Breakfast Table!

This week's tablescape features our NEW breakfast table.  Here's what the old one looked like:

And here's the new one!  I wanted something rustic looking with a distressed finish so we wouldn't have to worry about scratches or dents.  The chairs belonged to my in-laws and have been in storage since my father-in-law moved to an independent living community earlier this year.  I like the way they look with the table, although we will probably look for other chairs eventually.

This is the first round table we've had, and I wanted to try some round placemats with it.  These are from Walmart -- just $1.99 each!  I'm using the Elizabeth dinner plates from Pier 1 again -- love these colors for a fall table!  The green napkins and flower napkin rings are also from Pier 1, and this is our everyday stainless flatware.

For the centerpiece, I pulled out a gold planter to hold some pretty red and gold daisy mums.  Then I noticed a huge and beautiful pomegranate in the fruit bowl.  My husband bought it to use in a dish he was making, but it was the perfect color to highlight the red in the plates and the flowers, so I pressed it into service.   Since this table was set for Sunday night's supper, I added votive holders for candlelight.

 

These olive green glasses are from The Great Indoors, a store we discovered on a trip to Colorado.  If you have one near you, you are lucky!  They also sell online, though.

Here's a closeup of the daisy mums -- love the striking colors!

Here's a view looking toward the living room.

Here's one more look at the whole table.

Thank you for visiting my table this week!  I hope you will leave a comment before you leave to visit all the wonderful tablescapes at Susan's Between Naps on the Porch!
