The antique dough bowl evolves into another season with a simple and easy change.
The poinsettias are gone along with the
red candle. More antler sheds and pinecones were added along with a large three-wick candle
in the center, making it plain and simple for
long winter’s nap.
The week before Christmas I lucked into finding a red flannel plaid tablecloth, marked down 80%. Then I had a 30% off coupon, plummeting a $43 tablecloth to $6.00. What’s a girl to do? I brought two. The one on the dining room table has already had a daily workout with family meals. (I have lots of company) and works perfectly with the revamped
dough bowl centerpiece.
The other will be cut down to use on a square breakfast table with enough left over for napkins or another sewing project.
I also like the way the masculinity of the centerpiece looks juxtaposed against the femininity of the heavy throw with
applique, embroidery and deep fringe.
For yet another look, I used a reversible throw of velvet and chenille. The possibilities are almost endless: an antique grain sack, a vintage patchwork quilt, a burlap runner and more.
One of these days when it’s empty and not just morphing into another look, I will show you pictures of her in all her nekked beauty.
Until next time, Honey
