Setting the dinner table so it's easy, fun and you don't need any expensive flowers.
Hi Friends! Here in Indiana the temperatures have dropped. Seriously dropped, it is currently 29 degrees and the windy city is definitely earning it's name. That being said I spent most of the afternoon fiddling around the house getting ready for the holidays.






I have not dragged out any holiday decor yet, but I did find some gorgeous plaid napkins that I felt were appropriate today. Especially considering there was snow on the ground the other morning.

I got the urge again to do a no flowers needed centerpiece idea for this table. They seem to be a big hit on searches and pinterest. I have been wanting to try using family photos so this is my attempt. I tried to cover up the back of any photo frames with a candle or another frame. 

I think it turned out better then I thought it would. I had 2 clippings from an arborvitae outside that dried in a vase, so those found their way on the table for that always needed pop of color.

I used all silver photo framed I got last year at Homegoods. I think the cheapest one was 4.99? so that is definitely the best place to hit for picture frames! and TJ Max, their sister store.

I am loving the juxtaposition of silver on the rough barn wood. I might have to treat myself to some silver platters one of these days or find some silver placemats.

I am also testing out my videographer skills and have uploaded this table on video, so please give me a view and a like if you can. 

Delicate ego ya know...

I put the link /  video below.
