This is our Breakfast room. I love how this looks at night. With the french doors wide open and the lighting. It says, come on in!
This tablescape is high drama with the black and gold. and leopard print. I added a leopard print pumpkin for fun. We recently bought two of these from Hobby Lobby. My Mother and I went shopping earlier this week. We thought we could make some of our own pumpkins. We are looking at making some wreaths too.
Did you notice the gold glitter high heel? It's for a wine bottle. I bought 4 of them on sale at Safeway when they marked down down. I ended up paying around $3.00 each. I am a glitzy kind of woman.....
Twilight lighting outside, the magic hour. I am using gold chargers with gold plates, black dinner plates, topped with leopard salad plates. Leopard glasses and gold goblets from Zgallerie. Gold flatware follows the theme.
My husband and I were out shopping at Pottery World and we spotted these beautiful candles. I thought they would look fabulous on our mantel. I decided to include them in this tablescape.
They are so pretty. Of course you can't buy them just anywhere. They sell to retail.
Of course I had to include my thrifty nifty trick of using pillow cases. These are from the Dollar Tree.
Have a fabulous weekend. I am slowly adding Fall decor to our home.

I love the look! Our French doors open OUT like yours. Beautiful settings! I love the idea of using the pillowcases!
ReplyDeleteIf the shoe fits;)
ReplyDeleteYou are right it is so you!
That is a lovely room..the light in your home looks so warm Linda.
Bon weekend!
How sweet Monique. Great quote! Love my glitter!
DeleteSo beautiful especially at night and it does look very inviting with the doors open! Pretty plates and tablecloth. Love the glittery shoe bottle holder and the leopard print pumpkin. The candles were a beautiful find. Al the stores are loaded up with fall decorating goodies. I would love to visit that Pottery World.
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz. I love taking night shots of this room and patio. Those candles are killer. I want more!
DeleteBeautifully done, Linda....I would certainly be happy to have been invited to dinner!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Linda. I wish you could sit with us. It would be my pleasure.
DeleteOOOO! Swanky! I had to go through about four times to make sure I took it all in. I think we have the same flatware pattern, so you just gave me some wonderful ideas. I need to find some leopard things, definitely. Such a clever idea to use pillowcases as chair-back shrugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen, do get some leopard accessories for fun. That flatware is so pretty, glad to know you have the same. Get styling!
DeleteThe pillowcases on the chair backs is a super idea! The whole tablescape is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes, pillow cases...my neat little trick!
DeleteLinda, how gorgeous! Elegant, heartwarming and magical! :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful room and love those candles!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Gorgeous! What high drama and elegance. This table is absolutely stunning from the glorious candle to all the plates, to the high heel to the centerpiece and everything in between. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie, I appreciate the warm compliment from another wonderful tablescaper..
DeleteBeautiful! Love your creativity with the pillow cases!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you here for a visit. Gotta love those pillow cases.
DeleteYou sure know how to style a gorgeous table, Linda! The high heel wine holder is just too cute and I always love your clever idea of using the pillowcases for your chair backs, and so thrifty, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kitty. Isn't that gold glitter high heel the best? Gotta love those pillow cases.
DeleteGorgeous table, Linda! I especially like the first photo that shows your burnt orange ceiling...perfect for fall. Love all the leopard touches.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you bought material to MAKE the chair covers! The pillowcase idea is genius!! I have to measure my chairs now!!! I adore this table, it is ME too!!! Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNo, go to your local dollar store and grab different colors. It works great when your chairs are a different color and you want to blend them with your table setting. And cheap!
DeleteBeautiful home (have taken the virtual tour). Gorgeous table, breakfast room. As same as the others, love the pillowcase idea! Where can I purchase a tablecloth such as yours?
ReplyDeleteHi Janie, thanks so much! You can purchase the tablecloths at Linentablecloth.com.
DeleteThey are reasonable and come in different colors.
I can see a lot of fun being had at that table! Its just gorgeous Linda...Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine. I definitely had fun with this table. The lighting makes a big difference too.
DeleteWow! Hi Linda...beautiful tablescape and I love how it looks in the evening. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
All my heart,
Deborah

Thank you Jane. I am so glad to connect with you too! Your blog is great and both are dog lovers. You are so sweet!
DeleteHiya Wonder Woman,
ReplyDeleteI was reading your post earlier in my email today and was blown away by this great tablescape!
Love that you titled it 'high drama' because it definitely is! How fun and exciting. Love the wine holder, the candles, the place settings...love it all!
Such a talented designer you are, Linda!
We're kicking back tonight and watching movies, lol. Hope you're having a great weekend :)
Hi sweet friend. Thanks so much! It is high drama and I really enjoyed setting this one up. Glad to hear you are relaxing.
ReplyDeleteGood morning dearest Linda! I am late; out Saturday running errands before school officially starts on Monday! OOOOH How I love your breakfast room; it's like a dining room for some folks, but you have such a great space here to entertain on a smaller yet elegant scale. That glittered shoe is awesome for a wine bottle! I thought fall was on its way here since we had some cooler weather, but summer is lingering and that's great. But soon fall will be here and I can decorate too with my white pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteLooking good my friend! Anita
Linda, looking into your breakfast room is breathtaking! High drama, indeed!!! Every detail is just gorgeous and I love the striking black and your tablescape, incredible! Total perfection!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday~
Nancy
So luxe and rich! Wonderful details!
ReplyDeleteJust telling you again how much I like your ceiling!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marigene. I painted the ceiling myself. it is faux painted with some red, gold and bronze. I painted the border too.
DeleteLinda, you are a genius to use pillowcases over the chairs and they look expensive.The entire room looks so chic and beautiful. Well done... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, your breakfast room is so pretty. Looks like you make every room and occasion special.
ReplyDeleteI love the drama and the view with the open doors is stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour table looks bery elegant and exotic, Linda. I love the plates and all the different table elements....Christine
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! You've done it again! Your table is so pretty! Love all you've done here and the view from your doors is lovely. Your home is really beautiful and grand! Thanks for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Woweeee! Drama in every inch. Great contrast, texture and some cheap, cheap finds. You Go Girl!

ReplyDeleteYour style is smashing! Every detail is elegant, glitzy, and full of sparkle, magic and elegance. What fun your Mom and you must have had shopping together for these beauties. I would so enjoy celebrating an Autumn evening at your lovely home. I just know you are the Hostess with the Mostess, I can tell:)

The above commenters have nailed it in their comments! This table certainly deserves the highest praise, Linda. It is sumptuous glamour even though some of your elements were bargains. And the view from outside looks like a cover of AD magazine.
ReplyDeleteAnd that gorgeous tablecloth sets the stage for everything on it.
Dewena
Linda, your table looks so beautiful. Very bewitching too. I hadn't heard about the pillow cases. What an ingenuous idea, that only you would think of. Really cool..Happy Tuesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous table setting!!
ReplyDeleteOh, look at this cute glitter high heel wine holder! Your table looks stunning, Linda. I have seen these candles at Pottery World, as I go there about once a month. You have all the pretty Fall colors adorning your table.
ReplyDeleteHappy September days!
love, ~Sheri
Your taste and mine are so similar! I think this glitz and glam table is just fabulous, and I am going to have to add to my tablecloth collection - the black pinch pleat is wonderful. Those gold shoes are stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty room and I love that you showed us the view from outdoors - yes I want to come in!!
Tres chic! Love, love, love it Linda. Ooh, and those high heel wine holders are the absolute cutest thing ever. Beautiful dramatic tablescape.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
❤️Ana
Hi Linda, your breakfast area is gorgeous. Love the tablescape you created and I always enjoy to see the look on the chairs with the pillow cases. Wish our Dollar Tree sold pillow cases. Love those gorgeous candles. The high heel shoe for wine is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of the week and Happy September. cm
Stunning! You do create the most gorgeous tablescapes! I love the leopard touches, the candles...well, all of it. I know your guests must always feel so pampered. The french doors are beautiful and you're so fortunate NOT to have all the bugs and mosquitoes we do! :)
