K.I.S.S. Side Table

Sunday, September 30, 2012


I kept changing this table, adding and subtracting but somehow it was not working for me. Then I realized I was over doing it. For some reason I'm in the mood to have everything pared down and simple. It's been a year full of turmoil for my family so maybe that explains my desire to Keep It Simple Stupid or K.I.S.S. So after a lot of subtracting I came up with this;




I just put little white pumpkins on a bed of moss on top of my mercury glass candlesticks, added some books bound with webbing and  jute, added a couple more pumpkins and called it done.





It's fall without the traditional colors, but it's the best of both worlds to me. The whites and silvers that I love and a soothing palette.



Who knows, by the time Christmas rolls around I might be in the mood to decorate every surface in the house, but for know I'm done. I'll be adding some Halloween touches soon.  My guess is things wont change a whole lot. Don't hold me to that though, after all it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind LOL. I'll be  joining these fun  parties this week,

    Very pretty, Karen! I love the simple look myself. The white pumpkins on your mercury glass candlesticks say Fall in a soft way.

    I love the mercury glass & white pumpkins together! White pumpkins are my absolute favorite. Also, putting the books together with the webbing is such a creative idea!

    I love the white pumpkins on the mercury glass candlesticks! Very elegant looking. I pulled out all my decorations but I just can't get it all arranged like I'd like it. Hmmm. I like your idea better!

    I love the soft white colors of your table. It is perfect, not too cluttered, and makes we want to paint my lamp a shade of white and use your soft tones.

    Love the white look! I have always loved the rich traditional fall colours but for some reason, this year, I'm looking to do our Thanksgiving table (Canadian - this wknd) in a more neutral pallet and your vignette has inspired me. Thanks for sharing!
