how to set and decorate a Vintage fall tablescape

Simple ways on how to set a beautiful fall tablescape on your dining room table.

Hello and welcome to the Skinny Table Runner Blog Hop hosted by Diane from South House Designs. If you’re visiting from Barbara at Mantel and Table, or if you just happened to stop by, I’m so glad you’re here!

got a BEAUTIFUL handmade Burlap Skinny Table runner, shown in the above picture from Diane at
South House Design.

I got 2 and split them between my centerpiece to lengthen the table and under the end place settings. The nice thing about this runner, each time you wash it, it becomes more of an aged look, and with the fringe ends and the sewn long sides, the character just gets better and better. I highly recommend getting these runners to decorate your space.

Are you thinking about how you are going to be decorating your table for fall dinner and Thanksgiving? I have been thinking for a while on how I was planning to makeover my dining room table, and then the idea came to mind quickly.

Welcome to my blog. I am a newbie and learning as I go, but you know, taking beautiful pictures and writing is relaxing (except the small neighbor dog that BARKS AND BARKS AND BARKS). I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, once of the most UPPER and Northwest towns you can go within Washington State. You will find me mostly in my garage (my shop) with my laser machine, or designing/making/painting signs. I have products listed in the blog, if you are up to checking out some finds. https://pnwfarmhousedesignco.com/shop/

Finding elements that help dress the table

I recently fell in love with White and Brown Vintage transfer plates, and when I contacted my friend Tonya, she is a collector of many vintage items, and she was happy to lend me some items for my tablescape decorating.

I found a few years ago at a restaurant, they use their used Alcohol bottles(bourbon, brandy, etc) as personal water refill bottles on the table, so I asked friends that when they were done with their bottle to recycle them to me. Yay! My guests love them.

Now, the vintage bread board is from my friend Kate in Waco, TX, she has a shop next to the Silos. I got some ‘faux’ cheese and ‘faux’ break to set out as a filler on the table.
