Tabletop Tuesday



I recently purchased this table at my favorite furniture store, Jerry's, and knew just where I wanted to put it....in the hallway coming into my kitchen. The only problem is that it is kind of dark being in the hall and no outlet to plug in a lamp. How did I let that happen when we were building???? Anyway, I wanted to make it summery-beachy-look, so I put a mason jar of sand on it with one of those little electric tea-lites, so I do have some light...LOL! Then I put a picture of us at the beach last year with a shell that Hubby found there and a cloche with marbles and a star fish. Then the other day, I found this sign that says Barefeet Welcome. The picture didn't turn out that great due to the lighting, but you can at least get an idea of what I was going for.....Summer! Please visit Marty over at A Stroll Thru Life, for Tabletop Tuesday.

  5. I love your vignette you made. I wish I had thought of putting outlets in a couple of places, too when we built our house.

  6. Good Morning, Gina! I'm popping over from Marty's TTT linky party. Your new furniture purchase is gorgeous, and I just adore the sweet beachy vignette you've created atop it. And candlelight is so much nicer anyway, right?!

    Thanks for sharing. As I'm new to your blog, I can't wait to check out more of it.

    Have a fabulous week,
    Carla

  7. What a fun tabletop! Like the idea of the mason jar filled w/sand. You're wishing for outlets, I want wiring for wall sconces! My back hall has recessed lighting and a lamp on the table, but I wish I had sconces over it. Next house, I guess. We didn't build this one. Visiting from Marty's party.
