Tablescaping, Again

July 13th, 2007 @ 12:33 pm by Mrs. Lime

Lamest table mockups.  Ever.

- 57″ rounded corner-ed square table instead of 60″ round.
- Random red chair to stand in for my red napkins and flowers.
- Coffee can to stand in for centerpiece. It’s about the right diameter, but totally not the right height or shape.
- Absence of votive holders in 2 heights that will also surround the coffee can centerpiece.
- Vinyl wallcovering remnants used for the mockups.

I thought I liked the runner better (Yeah, it’s too short. Remember, I was using a remnant.) . . .

. . .but then, one day, I woke up and desired something a little less done. Oh wait, Martha already did it.

Finally, our friend, Mr. Coffee Can. He is playing the role of “scaled figure” today.

We’re doing the square in three different patterns, none of which the ghetto pieces above represent.  And yes, I’ve checked to make sure we can fit eight placesettings around without too many or any plates/flatware/glassware sitting on the edge of our glorified placemats/truncated runners.  Oh, and the square is a 27″ square.  24″ squares worked slightly better, but then I will waste some of my 54″ wide goods.  The runner above was about 13.5″ wide and should have been 84-96″ long.

Didn’t this post yesterday? Weird. :) I love love love that blue color, and I actually really like the rounded, squared table! I want one of those now. :)

I was wondering the same thing… Maybe something has changed that I haven’t noticed? I love the mock up though - that’s what ours looked like when we were trying ideas, hehe.

so your reception provides those uniquely shaped tables? very cool! and i do like the minimal square in the middle idea better than the runner.
