I had the 3 vases of roses for a bit with the canvas table runner . At Christmas I put the leaf in my table and never took it out, I liked the table with a larger presence. But now the table runner looked too short. So I bought a very pretty linen runner in the color of my chairs, but it was blah, so I went back to the canvas and changed to all white vases, this look didn't last long. It looked pretty in a magazine but I felt like my vases were at a store on a conveyer belt, too much of a good thing, especially with my hutch of all white dishes on one side.
My new tablescape is turquoise and gold just the pop I was looking for. I first cut a piece of canvas just a couple inches shorter than the table. I copied the other table runner that I had bought at West Elm. Stitching around all the sides with my sewing machine about 1/2" from edge. Painted it with a coat of gesso, then a coat of gold paint. Placed the wooden ombre vases back on the table with two turquoise vases. I added five turquoise flowers and one orange flower bought on Etsy a while back, to each vase.
Whenever I decide to rearrange something I always start with what is around my home. But this always leads to a snowball effect. Now I need to tweak the family room and front entry a bit. Which will probably spill over into the bedrooms.
Just when I think it is perfect another idea is born and around I go again.
where did you get that blue vase. i looooove it!! and where do you even buy canvas?
ReplyDeleteThe vases are from dwell studio.com. And whenever I have trouble finding something amazon always seems to have it, thats where the canvas came from.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mer, that blue vase is so pretty. You have such great taste!
