Happy
Tablescape Thursday! It's been awhile since I participated in my favorite online blog event. I am so excited to be able to join this week's celebration.
We are spending our last Summer week at the Dacha. It's so hard to leave this place whenever we get here. Daniel's first day back to school is the Tuesday after the Labor Day holiday. Below are photos of a table I put together on the river. I had a lot of fun setting this table. Especially, with nature as my back drop.
The foldable metal chairs above oddly were the inspiration behind this table setting. We found them at a nearby
antique shop for $10.00 each. They were structurally in great shape. As you can see they just needed to be repainted. Papa Dan thought they would be great paired with a small foldable table for dining at the river or even ocean beach. Naturally, I began to visualize the 3 of us dining on the river with the newly acquired chairs.
Papa Dan spray painting the chairs a hunter green using
Rust-Oleum's high gloss. The little guy supervising to ensure quality workmanship.
I created the no-sew table topper with tartan fabric,tassel trim,sharp scissors and a glue gun. It took about 20 minutes to make. I purchased the fabric and trim from
Joann's fabrics about a 30 minutes drive from the cabin.
