Centerpieces for the Season
I read an article in Better Homes and Gardens October issue on tablescapes and centerpieces. The article is called "Natural Genius". It's about not spending a lot of money to make your table look pretty but using the natural resources we have available to us right outside our doors.
I'm sure most of us have something on our dining tables whether it is just place mats, table runners, a tablecloth or a plant in a vase.
To me, a centerpiece is like jewelry, you always want to accessorize and yes, you should always have a some sort of dressing on your tables, we're designers, of course we're going to accessorize.

Even though summer blooms are gone, painfully obvious from today's snow, you can still create a beautiful and low to no cost tablescape just by simply looking around your yard.
You will need some items like; spray paint, (gold and silver are great for this time of year), unique looking urns, wicker bowls, vases you don't mind altering, mason jars and even old glasses that you never use. Just give them a good wash, and start getting creative. Here are some great examples of tablescape options and accessories.

Maybe reconsider throwing out that old sweater, how sweet is this little tea candle holder with some of that fabric to warm up that little vignette.

How about this...who would've thought pumpkins could be so elegant. Decorative nail heads and your initial, very nice.

Go to your grandmother's basement, she's got these mason jars in all shapes and sizes and if she doesn't....I do! Come ask me for some:)

this reminded me of Natasha's table centerpiece just a touch. This is just a cool branch that fell from the tree spray painted white.

I hope these idea's inspire you to create a one of a kind and very inexpensive tablescape that you can change out every other week if you're so inclined.
