Edit
We had such a great Holiday weekend and 3 of us helped decorate while my guy did all the cooking...yes, ALL. He is such a great cook & wanted to do it all himself. I'm so thankful for him.
I decided to incorporate some GOLD into this Holiday....and I knew the tablecloth we bought was way too stark white.
So, we PAINTED gold dots all over it & it made the table look so much more interesting...what do you think?

ahh gorgeous! looks amazing jen. Love the glassware.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the polka dots and I love your glassware.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the glassware myself. Think it may be on my Xmas list! And I love the gold dots -- did you use a pencil eraser?
ReplyDeleteCOURTNEYOUTLOUD: thx! No, I actually used the bottom of a wooden handled sponge brush. It was perfectly flat so it worked out well.
ReplyDeleteI'm eating lunch as I read this and I'm STILL salivating! What a great guy you have. And you, my dear, put together a gorgeous table. Love that cloth!
ReplyDeleteThat dinner looks incredible! And your table cloth looks amazing with those gold dots.
