I also added a single pillar candle, surrounded by a fall candle ring, for additional ambience.
Finally, I need to say a special thanks to Kitty at Kitty's Kozy Kitchen. Kitty stopped by the other day and left me with the 'Triple Cute Award'.
I continue to be humbled by those who think enough of my little blog to share the love! Thank you so much, Kitty! Now, the rules for this award state that I should pass it on to 7 others that I feel have super cute blogs...and the awardees should do the same. I am hoping to share this award with blogs that have not previously been awarded. So, I will post those in a couple of days!
I hope you have been inspired by something that I have shared with you today. Happy Decorating!

Beautiful job! So romantic! I like the metal piece on the side, it feels like your sitting on a balcony and that's your planter! Love the runner idea! I have to remember to do that myself with my small round table...I like the runner's texture and colors and the dishes look even prettier on it! The fireplace looks so inviting! #10 on the Romance Dial!!
ReplyDeleteHi Shenita...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table, my friend! I love that you brought in a table to set beside that gorgeous fireplace of yours! Such sweet autumn ambiance!

Love your gold table covering...it's gorgeous...and the table runner is stunning! Such opulent fabrics for your table! I love it! Of course, the place settings are perfect! Your china is beautiful! I love that you added a beautiful basket of fresh vegatables! They really do bring a wonderful splash of color to your table! A gorgeous table for two, my friend! Thank you for sharing it with us!
