Dining Room Table Centerpiece and A Few Other Changes

Hello there! Before I forget, I wanted to tell y'all that I've been working furiously on the tutorial for painting the kitchen cabinets and the post should go live this Thursday evening. I'll have lots of pics of all the products we used and I'll tell you exactly how we did it. 

Okay, now for the changes in the dining room. I recently switched up my dining room table centerpiece and thought I'd share it with you. 

Here's what I had before...

I've had that same candle in the same hurricane glass with the same garland around it forever. It was definitely time to change things up. :)

So, here's what I came up with. I shopped the house for everything, so it didn't cost a dime. 

I used a lined basket with a Target Dollar Spot IKEA look a like planter. Then I added some Dollar Tree berries (just like I did recently on the kitchen buffet) Then I added a Pier 1 glittery sphere and a candle propped up on a book. 

I think it's a nice little change from what was there before. 

I also switched up the top of my armoire in the living room. Here's the red and yellow platter I had up there before...

First, I tried this silver platter up there. It was a wedding present 24 years ago and I've never displayed it before. 

I liked how the silver looked, but then I started thinking maybe it was too "kitcheny" or "dining room-ish" for the living room. So I took it down.

Then I added this yellow plate. So far, I've kept it like this, but that's not to say it won't change again. :)

 I seem to be leaning toward more neutral colors lately and this pale yellow fit the bill. 

And here's a quick change I made to the tops of the kitchen cabinets. See that platter to the right? 

I switched it out for this yellow one below. 

Here's where the yellow one was...

And here's what's there now. After I moved the yellow one, I replaced it with this pale green platter. It's been like musical decor around here. I keep moving things around. :)

I'll probably continue to switch things around for the next few weeks. Sometimes it takes awhile for me to find just the right spot for things. Hope y'all are having a great day and don't forget to stop back by Thursday for the tutorial on painting the kitchen cabinets. :)
