It’s Tablescape Thursday over at Between Naps on the Porch. I thought I’d show you my casual kitchen table. Remember, I did BUDGET teal and pink and icy silver in the dinning room.( I posted it HERE.)In my little kitchen, which I also did on a big budget, I went with a bit of a woodland theme.
I’m so in love with all the woodland creatures that have come out this year…I wanted to change my kitchen table a bit but didn’t want to spend a bunch, soooo…
I used some little lanterns I had from my daughter Stephanie’s wedding…the dishes were 3 bucks at Old Time Pottery! I made the napkin rings out of garden twine. I heart garden twine!
That great centerpiece lantern was 5 dollars at Pottery Barn Outlet. Seems the glass door was broken…Whooooooo cares? Asked the owl!
And everyone’s using burlap these days, I didn’t really want to sew a round table cloth so I just bought a yard each of green and khaki and sewed some cute ribbon along the edges and draped them across the table. I do a lot of draping fabric on tables, I guess I’m too lazy to make table cloths that fit!
See the twig stars over the table? They were 49 cents at Old Time Pottery…the catch was, they had a scary Santa face glued onto each one. I ripped the scary Santa faces right off.
I bought lots of these stars, they’re showing up all over my house this year!
This is my long-time kitchen wreath. I will be changing it next year, so I’ll keep an eye open for After Christmas sales on the little woodland creatures!
I can’t give up my colored lights in the kitchen. They just make me happy.
I’ve had a bit of fun with a big bag of tiny pine cones I bought for $1.99. Next week I’m going to show you something fun to do with them! I scattered a few inside the lantern.
The tiny woodland owls are from Target. They came 6 to a package and were $9.00. Not on sale but look at this cutie pie…
And our 4 pups hang their stockings in the kitchen. Why? Because the kitchen is their most favorite place in all the world! I buy puppy toys all month and fill as I go!
I so love these tiny owls. I’m pretty certain I’ll be leaving them out when I put away the Christmas decorations.
Love to you Friends…and prayers as we live our legacy ~ one day at a time.

Oh, I want to hold one of the baby owls. Love how you use colors other than red or green. So, so creative, my friend!
I wish I lived at your house!

Marty, I didn’t know I could use a lantern for a Cloche!!! I’m way in the dark with those!? But I’ll give it a try!
Robin, what a HOOTIN good time I’ve had seeing this great table!!!:) LOVE the dishes, they really resemble a Lenox pattern that I love. I adore the owls too!!!!!!!!! I am going to have to see if my Target has them! How sweet! My kitchen is all snowmen! I am going to try to post some pics today….Have a great day, my friend! XO, Pinky
oh, i love love love it!!!! just perfect for a kitchen. i wish the nearest target weren’t over an hour away so i could get some of the adorable little owls!
Oh, Robin..I do so love that table! And I use colored lights in my kitchen too..makes it feel so old fashioned and homey, like a little Christmas cottage!! And, I also drape fabric on the table instead of sewing…it makes for a much happier ending, as I’m not a seamstress!! I often use a twin sized sheet for my table cloth, then layer on fabric to dress it up!!
I love the lanterns and the coloured lights especially. You’ve reminded me that I have a lantern in my shed that I’d planned to spray and use on the dinner table, so thanks for that. I think the owls are adorable. xx

I love how this table looks. I too have been lured to the wildlife for tablescapes. The little owls are just too sweet. Great look.

YOU RIPPED off the SANTA FACES!!!??? SCARY ONES?? HA–funny or what. OH and you can’t destroy the gingerbread wreath—no, NO!! Just make a separate one for the woodland folks next year. Those owls are cuties, I must agree. The large lantern is soooo nice!!
