Tablescape Thursday

As, I told in the post on Saturday I set this table up in 45 minutes or less. It was a whim inspired by the blooming Korean Spice Viburnum in my backyard. My severely pruned Korean Spice Viburnum; just in case some of you gardening bloggers don't recognize the shrub when you see it. It would be because my five year old has been pruning it.

This table was really all about the lighting. I used two lighting ideas from Pottery Barn, which I discuss also in Saturday's post.

My first inspiration was to hang these PB style mason jar lights in my shabby shrub.

My next idea was to create a votive table runner. But, instead of making it I used an antique cigar mold and gave the illusion of the votive holder. Again, it is described in further detail in Saturday's post.

The dinner plate is by Domestications.

The salad plate is from Kohls.

The goblets are Waterford Crystal.

The pattern is Marquis. I found them at T.J. Maxx a box of 4/$24.99.

The best feature of the table though is the lighting.

You get a lot of drama with these little votives.
