I can hardly believe it. After almost 9 months of doing all the 'last minute' fix up chores, our sweet little lake cottage is officially on the market! It was love at first sight for our agent...she said it felt so warm and welcoming that she just wanted to relax and take in the view. She's enthusiastic and we love working with her. She makes us feel optimistic though we know how the market can be so we'll keep our fingers crossed and the house looking as tidy as can be and hope that there's a buyer out there that will love it as much as we have. I even did a tablscape for the open house and I've added a few photos. My photography leaves something to be desired but hopefully you get an idea of how it all looked. I used what I had available since a lot of my china and tablecloths etc. are in storage but I think it turned out pretty good.
I absolutely love this lantern - From Pier 1 and I've used it with a lot of tablescapes - very versatile and not expensive.
The runner was one I picked up in Mexico on our last visit and the colors go beautifully with a fall theme. I used old mason jars for the flowers- none of my usual vases were easily found in storage so I again went with what I had in the few boxes left in my craft closet. Flowers were from the local Stop&Shop. Bought a few bunches along with some baby's breath and kept adding flowers to each jar until they were stuffed, added a bow around the top and voila! The placemats were also from Pier 1 - a gift from the Professor.
Love,, love, love these!!
I found these two sweet little birds in a local gift shop. The tilt of their heads gave them such a realistic pose that I had to have them and their colors go perfectly with the fall theme.
Sooo cute!
The individual glass cloches are from Sur La Table. I also have the bottoms that raise the cloches up but I...ooops. Dropped one and it broke so I simply used the tops which look okay too, don't you think? Oh, and I used our Fiesta Plates in accenting colors.
So there it is folks - my tablescape for our first open house.
