Fall Table Setting!

Table Setting with Black Dishes for Fall

How To Use Black Dishes For Fall!

Good Morning you all! Another week passed by and things are finally calming down around here with the whole renovation of our laundry room. Believe me, there are still lots of messes, just less… lol! Anyways, if you are new and visiting here from Jennifer at Town & Country Living welcome! Jennifer is a sweetheart and so very talented, I can’t wait to check out her lovely fall ideas! Today we are joining Lory from Designthusiasm for her Styled and Set Series. I set an outdoor table complete with matte black dishes.

I took some very basic elements and made a little bit of a moody table.

In fact, I had these grand ideas for an arrangement and they were not going as planned at all…

So instead, I went for plan B (or C, D and E haha)! None of my plans were working. In desperation I ran for the weeds!

Truly, we have an unplanted veggie garden that has weeds throughout. I took a good look at my resources and started clipping.

In the world of decorating and DIY, these are my favorite moments, because they are the ones that I feel are the most rewarding!

While it may not be one of the MOST beautiful arrangements I have ever made, it definitely is one of the most creative. And the best part of all, I had so much fun trying to make it work.

I guess the moral of the story is to not give up, find a way to make it work and enjoy the creative process as weeds really can bring beauty. It is how you look at things and your perspective.

I did have some dried grass sprays that I inserted as well and they completed the whole look.

The true starting point for this table really was the matte black dishes though.

I love how dramatic they are and paired with the linen napkins they make a statement of understated elegance.

I didn’t have napkin rings that worked well, so I just tied some burlap ribbon.

My best glassware and gold flatware (plastic actually) brought a little extra “fine” dining to the table as well.

Mixing and matching what you have is such a wonderful way to make a pretty table and I hope you found this inspiring. Especially the whole bit about sorting through weeds, haha!

    I think your floral arrangement looks fabulous. Some centerpieces are just too perfect and I always like them a little wild and carefree. Love the black dishes!

    How has your patio stencil held up? I just found your diy post from 2016 and I’m thinking of doing the same stencil on my front porch and wondering how well the paint has lasted. It pictures still look really nice!

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
