Several months ago, I inherited this lovely dining room table from my grandmother. I was fortunate enough to grow up next door to my grandparents, and I remember eating many family dinners at this table. Over the years, the table had some wear and tear, so after it moved to my home, I gave it a pretty coat of paint. I wish I had some before photos to show you, but unfortunately because of an upcoming social occasion, I had to dress this gal up quick! In addition, I reupholstered the seat cushions with a white and black check.
My mother told me that I had to take a close up of the centerpiece I made for my old, but new dining room table. Since I always do what my mother says, here goes...
I did what so many bloggers are doing these days..."shopping" at home. You've seen all of these items at one time or the other on this blog. It's quite fun to reuse things in a new way! Have you been "shopping" around your house lately?
How lovely that you are able to appreciate and treasure your special furniture pieces. Have fun making new memories at this table.
ReplyDeleteI love your table!! It looks fabulous, and it's so special too. I also love your vignette. It's always good to listen to mother.
