Still keeping it simple for fall decorating here! I'm so thrilled to be able to have today off and I can still participate in
today.
It has been such a wonderfully exhausting first few days at my new job. I've worked 8 hours both days and will be putting in two 10 hours days, tomorrow and Saturday. Setting up a new store is exhausting work, especially when you are not used to constantly bending, lifting, and assembling things for hours all day. I'm not complaining though, I really am enjoying it. It's a great way to get back in shape. Yesterday, among assembling several other fixtures, I helped my group assemble an army of mannequins. That was fun!
Well, enough about that, but now at least you know why I'm keeping it simple. Since I already had a centerpiece set up on my dining room table from fall decorating I decided to use it and set up the rest of the table settings to go with it. I love how simple white dishes are to tablescape with. It is so easy to bring in just a touch of fall color splash, or any other seasonal color for that matter. If you don't own any of the white dishes everyone all over blog land has, you really should. It's one of the best (simple) decor additions ever. I'm so glad I got these too!

Your table looks wonderful, Mary!
ReplyDeleteThe new chandelier is Hampton Bay Grace, from Home Depot. Hope you are able to find replacement chimneys. When I decided on that style, I was a tad worried about breakage.
Beautiful tablescape, loved the dishes.
