This is the arrangement that has been on my Dining Table for some time.
Then I won this wonderful burlap runner from Sissie @ Sissies Shabby Cottage so of course I had to play. I scrunched the runner so I could show off the ruffle and the Bon Appetit.
Then I tried to find things that looked frenchy to go with the runner.
A frenchy pitcher, some silver, a white tray and candles.
A frenchy compote and old world flatware worked. A dove, some tassels and look at the cute little Paris tag she included.
A casual bouquet with such pretty colors.
Don't you just love this gorgeous runner. I am so thrilled. It is even more beautiful in person. Thanks again Sissie.
While I was at it I did just a little tweaking of the buffet. The tall finials and a plant are enough with the soup tureen. Adds just a little more color.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I always appreciate your visits.
I really like the re-do. It's so fresh. And those dark hydrangeas are really something. Funny thing, a few years ago I was visiting my SIL in Texas and I kept going by her dining room flattening out her runner. She finally caught me and told me it was supposed to be scrunched up. I thought her cat was doing it!!!!! Lot of help I am, huh.
ReplyDeleteThis is all so beautiful, Marty! I love the colors of the arrangement in the white pitcher.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful -- a feast for the eyes! I really do love your soup tureen. Annie
ReplyDeletePlease come visit me and redo anything you want. Please oh please!
ReplyDeleteMarty, where do I start! That lime green and dark blue colors are stunning in your fabulous pitcher, what a great look! You did great on your buffet tweaking too, love it all!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteOh, I do love that runner! And I love the vignetee you created! The flowers, the spoons, the apples and candles all add to the lovely arrangement!

ReplyDeleteMarty, you were the perfect person to win that beautiful runner, because you knew just how to display it, and also especially since you've been adding French accents to your home. Your vignette is Frenchy beautiful! You always think of the best things to put into a vignette, and I just love coming to see what you come up with next. Your buffet looks so pretty too.

Hi Marty!
ReplyDeleteYour table centerpiece redo is so pretty! And it is just perfect with that lovely table runner from Sissie!
And I love those finials on your side table! And that tureen is gorgeous!
By the way, I still just love the rich color that you refinished your dining table! It is so warm.
You did another nice job, Marty, everything looks so pretty. I like all of your contrasts. Sissie did such lovely work on your runner.
ReplyDeleteMarty~
ReplyDeleteThis is such an artful display. Your burlap runner came just in time for fall. Burlap and fall go so well together!
Your incorporation of so many lovely elements makes this a visual joy! The different heights, textures and that darling silver picture frame are elements I will have to try to reproduce.
Masterfully done, my friend! Just beautiful.
Yvonne
Love this Marty!! The burlap runner is devine and I love all the elements you've worked into this tabletop! Just gorgeous :)
