All the Leaves are Brown...

This is my entry to the White Challenge--using only white dishes and one other color for stemware, linens, etc. I immediately knew I wanted to use brown. Mr. Wonderful will tell you I'm a little obsessed with brown right now. I find it very calming...and well, earthy! I thought the dark wood of my kitchen table would work best, so this is my first tablescape in my new kitchen. I am so anxious to get those white walls painted!

I hope you enjoy!

I fell in love with these bowls from Ross!

I used this runner to choose the different shades of brown I would use.

I filled each bowl with coffee beans before placing a painted pumpkin in each one.

Eddie relaxes on the half wall between the kitchen and family room. He thinks it was placed there for him! I only included him because he is keeping with the color scheme.

The dinner plates and glasses came from a thrift store.

Thank you for visiting!

I thought you might like to see my new home!

An Un-Holiday Table!

I knew Valentine's Day was not my favorite holiday. But, a few weeks ago, I turned to go down the seasonal aisle at my grocery store, and I actually shuddered at the sight of all the red and pink Valentine items. Someday, I'll figure out where that comes from. And, I've never celebrated Mardi Gras, though I have been known to give up chocolate for Lent. So, here is a plain old ordinary tablescape. The inspiration came from the napkins, which were purchased on clearance at Target.

I hope you enjoy!

I love to mix up contemporary and traditional

styles, as seen with my dish choices.

The brown goblets didn't show up well in the

photos, so I added the second glasses.

I like the unusual color combination in the napkins.

I decided to use these birds for some sparkle.

Time to light the candles!

Bowls, crystal glasses, candlesticks and candles are from Ross

Square plates and brown glasses came from Goodwill

Woven chargers came from Z Galleries

Napkin rings from Tuesday Morning

Holiday Comeback!!!

Creating Wonderful Spaces is back! Where have I been, you might ask.

I would love to say I was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro...

or sailing around the world...

or on a whirlwind book signing tour.

But, the truth is...

I was injured.

Because all my "stuff" is in the basement, my knee told me I needed to take a break from tablescaping for awhile. Four weeks ago I had surgery, and my knee is better than ever! So, bring on the tablescaping!!!

I decided to do a simple table for two. I hope you enjoy!

Now, this next photo made me laugh. I try so hard to be carefree and spontaneous. I thought I was scattering the ornaments in a haphazard way. Then I saw this photo and darned if they aren't perfectly symmetrical.
