| I did a fall tablescape in the kitchen today. I had some "new" yard sale dishes and had "romanced" a few pumpkins yesterday, so I decided to use them in the tablescape. |
 |
| I have the table set for H and I to have lunch tomorro...We are just having soup and a half sandwich, but it will seem special with a beautifully set table. |
 |
| We have matching place settings. I used a large piece of vintage fabric for the tablecloth. It has soft pink roses and is accented with beige scrolling. I have rose print cream and sugar bowl, and a pretty rose tiered server for our dessert. |
 |
| The place mats are a patterned pink and cream lace.....I used some small milk glass "water" glasses...and vintage silverware. I have a vintage chocolate pot to enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate after lunch. (with.... maybe a small piece of H's Double Chocolate Zucchini bread?) |
 |
| The napkins are light beige with an embroidered design in the corner. |
 |
| Keeping with the rose theme, I selected some rose salt and pepper shakers for my tablescape. And, I just happened to have a rose print pumpkin that matched perfectly. |
 |
| The grocery store had their fresh roses for $6.99 a dozen today, so I picked out some pretty pink ones for a bouquet. |
 |
| I bought these dishes at a yard sale last Saturday ...I got 4 dinner plates, 2 dessert plates, and 5 salad bowls for $3!!! |
 |
| They are made by Home Beautiful and the pattern is Rose Blush... |
 |
| I hope you can see the beautiful raised roses on these dishes... |
 |
| I have a different table in the kitchen.... |
 |
| I had been using a tea cart with the sides up on it to make a cozy table for two.... |

I rarely answer a painting question, but I see green on the cabinet....I would paint the bench a green and then change the fabric....it would stand out against the white....you asked....so there is my 2 cents worth!
ReplyDeleteI think it would look better painted, too, Penny. I usually paint furniture white but I do like Ceekay's idea, too. It will be lovely no matter what you decide. Love the new dishes! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI adore your chocolate pot! By now I figure you already have the bench painted since you fly so fast! You know what you're doing and we love it!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful setting, love the pretty rose dishes and fabric pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteYour dishes are so beautiful. Anyone would love to sit at that cozy table for two!

Your roses and pumpkin is so lovely. The dishes are very different and beautiful. Beautiful price too. I like the piano bench just the way it looks now. The whole setting is perfectly done.
ReplyDeletexo, Jeanne
Oh my how beautiful. Definitely redo the bench and I'm sure you will make it look gorgeous, Love your blog!!
ReplyDeletePenny,it's all so pretty,and what a bargain price. I think the piano stool would look lovely white with a new cover too. :)
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is all so pretty!! The chocolate pot is a beauty! I love both your chairs, the cane is fabulous!! I think the bench would be darling in white too:-)
ReplyDeletehugs...
So enjoy your blog. Keep the piano bench matching the piano, unless this is an extra bench, then paint it a soft green (to the blue side) like Ceekay suggested. But keep the cabinet white. I rather like to needlepoint fabric that's on the bench. It look old fashion and romantic. The contract in color will add interest to any room the bench is in.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful...I love it all. Those dishes were a great buy and how pretty they are!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and feminine--would never make it here with my 2 men (and 3 big dogs). But I can look and dream......
ReplyDeleteJanet
Hi, this is so pretty that I feel like I'm at a B & B! I love it! I saw it on best of the weekend.

Always a delight to visit your lovely home Penny.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful table. I bet your heart was singing when you spotted those lovely dishes...as to your bench. If it is going to stay there, I would paint it and I like the idea of a touch of soft green and then some gorgeous fabric for the top....

What a sweet tea you have set for us! Everything is just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe garage sale dishes you picked up are pretty, no wonder you went with a rose theme to match them.
ReplyDeleteI see you have a couple of tall glass containers with a silver top and handle. I inherited one of these, keep polishing the silver part but don't know what it's for.

Dear Penny, What a beautiful blog you have...so happy to have found it.
ReplyDeleteThe setting is absolutely beautiful...I love the rose theme..and I really love those salt and pepper shakers. I've been meaning to go to some yard sales myself..those are always the perfect spots to find antique and vintage pieces, which I love very much.
I think the piano bench would look beautiful painting white...I like the seat cover, but I'm sure it will look beautiful no matter what.
I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog and I hope you stop by and enter. Today's the last day. Many blessings, your new follower and friend, Catherine xo
I love your pretty tablescape. The dishes were a great find and I love your chairs too. I agree the piano bench would look great in white.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
Oh! How lovely to have a new set of roses china for $3 is amazing. The table set with the roses is so pretty with the new pink hued pumpkin. Your chocolate pot is a great to have a sweet cup of hot cocoa. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeletePam
How pretty, Penny! I love the china with the raised roses and the pumpkin is darling draped in lace. The piano bench would look sweet in white. I'm sure you're already working on it. Thank you for joining me for tea.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Hello Penny,
ReplyDeleteOh my, your lunch table setting looks so romantic! The pink pumpkin really does the trick to add the fall touch. The entire table and all your lovely china looks so vintage and wonderful!
Hugs,
Terri
Your fabric pumpkins are adorable, I'm not usually a huge fan of lace, but with your tablescape it is so lovely done. Thanks for sharing on the Pinworthy Project Party!
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteI am playing catch up so I will be commenting on everything I missed so you will be thinking me a stalker!! LOL!
This is such a lovely tablescape! Wish I had room in my kitchen for a little table like this....
The tablecloth and those darling rose salt and pepper shakers really caught my eye!! So sweet!!
Hugs,
Deb
So beautiful and yet charming. I love the softness of it all. The fabric pumpkins are sweet.

HI Penny,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your pumpkin! It is perfect with your decor. I think you should paint the bench white and see if you like the cover better and then decide if you want to change it.
Hugs, Lynnie
