I would like to know what some of you have on your dining table for decorative purposes/?

Question

I don't want flowers and I have too many candles.Would not mind candles if they were really different.

Answer 1

Books, half-finished craft projects, my daughter's keyboard, and a sleeping cat.

Answer 2

I have a really pretty table cloth, and then a square picture frame that you can put pictures in on four sides, it holds 8x10 so instead I put in my kids art work. I change it out for the holidays and have them draw something accordingly. Also during the school year if one of them gets a certificate or something special like that I can put that there so we can see it often. I got it at garden ridge, which is like a home decor place. the middle is hollow so I sometimes put flowers in the middle, but usually it is just empty.

Answer 3

I collect milk glass, so I have 2 milk glass candleholders and a big milk glass bowl, which I fill with different things according to the seasons. Oh, and it's on top of a table runner. Pretty traditional and boring. My sister in law keeps her formal dining table "set" all the time. My older sister has a silk floral arrangement and napkins and placemats. My younger sister can't find the top of her table--lol!

Answer 4

I have a copy of the "Savannah Bird Girl" sculpture, she is about 24" high, and I put votive candles of different colors and scents on the "plates" she holds in her hands.

Answer 5

I have a lazy Susan with a toothpick holder and a salt and pepper shaker on it. I made all of them out of exotic woods to adorn my red oak table with purple heart inlay which I also made.

Answer 6

We have a grouping of Inuit sculptures in winter; in summer we have a couple of dozen little animal figurines that look like they are having a rumble.

Answer 7

I have a white farmhouse table with a yellow basket of lemons and limes in it.

Answer 8

I have a large, shallow bowl in a contrasting color. It can be empty or hold fruit when I want more color.
