Do your tables have centerpieces?

[Sara]

My diningroom table either has a pedestal bowl of fresh fruit or flowers. My coffee table has a crystal pedestal bowl. My kitchen table is usually bare.

I add taper candles sometimes, but usually place them on the fireplace mantle (until I want to use them with dinner) so the kiddos don't decide to use them as swords. :D

No this is one area I really need improving in. I don't have a coffee table. My end table is very small so I only have a lamp on it.

My kitchen table only has a centerpiece at Christmas. We do our homeschooling at the kitchen table and to have to take a centerpiece off and then put it back everyday, well you get the picture.

Our coffee/cocktail table is covered in candles and displays of shells, sea glass, and sea beans I've collected.

We don't have anything on the dining room/kitchen table because we do our homeschooling seat work there.

On the breakfast bar, I used to but moved it and put the breadbox there instead.

On the dining room table I usually have a candle/flower arrangement or a basket of fruit, depends on my mood.

Nothing on my side tables and coffee table, I found out that cats slide on doilies and whatever is on the doily, hits the floor! :eek:

Dining room table usually has somethiing on it. Currently it's a goard basket that a dear friend made for me, candles and flowers.

I suppose a bunch of papers & books don't count do they? :P
I do have a candle surrounded with a wreath of flowers on the diningroom table. And some daisys in a dasket on the kitchen table. Can't wait till the wild flowers start growing, My house will be full of fresh flowers then.:)

so the kiddos don't decide to use them as swords - lol that's funny.

My dining room table has a green bowl filled with odds and ends, and two candles.

My end table has a lamp and a candle extinguser, and a cross

and my coffee table is empty (or at least I try to keep it that way, BF drops everything he walks in the door with on the coffee table.)

Sometimes, but kids get all over it.

My kitchen table has a 3 wick candle and candle holder from Party lite. My dining room table has a round rattan mat, with 2 stoneware candlesticks and candles. Around the mat are a few special items, a ceramic cardinal a dear friend gave DD#1, a ceramic rose DD#1 painted for me, a stone with the word 'friendship' carved into it, and a hand painted wooden egg. I got the egg from the director of the preschool where I work PT for Christmas. It was made by women in Lithuanisa (I think) and has the most amazinf tiny, tiny pastoral scene with sheep. How in the world they paint so tiny I'll never know!

All of these things probably seem like clutter to the outsider, but they bring me joy.

My kitchen table has a wooden bowl with a candle in it and dried rose hips around it. No dining room here as we use it as a family room and the llving room table has a few things on it but I wouldn't call it a center piece

[Naderbug]

My "diningroom" table has a twirly bowl that I bought for $1 at the Dollar store ages ago. I have a beautiful black tablecloth and a spidery white doily in the center under the table. I love it. :D

Bright Blessings!

My kitchen table has a napkin holder, salt n pepper shakers, and a large Yankee Candle jar that I light during dinner. My coffee table has a small rattan kind of placemat I got at the dollar store, a small plastic flowerpot that holds cat grooming accessories, and a small stack of books. I used to try and put nice centerpieces on the coffee table, but that cats would destroy them.

I have a glass dish on the dining room table, and a vase of flowers on the coffee table in the lounge room.
