Dining Room Buffet Vignette

One of my favorite rooms in our house 

is the dining room.  I love changing things around 

in there pretty regularly.  I had a little time this

weekend to shoot some pics of the

 dining room buffet vignette.

Back in the spring, I found this simple white frame at the 

Rose Bowl Flea Market.  I wasn't sure what I'd do with it

until I was at Home Depot a few months back and learned

that I could purchase READY TO GO pre-made chalkboards.  

YES, that's right, no chalkboard paint needed.  I just asked

the guy to cut the board to the desired size, and PRESTO,  I 

instantly had a chalkboard for the flea market frame!

The simple white frame was made

 for this midsized chalkboard!  
It looked like they always belonged together.

   An appetizing message 

adds some French flair to the buffet...

   A few months ago, my mom surprised me with these

adorable silver candle holders that she purchased 
at a vintage French Estate Sale. 
 The moment I saw them, I knew how perfect they would look

 sitting on top of  one of my favorite vintage silver trays.

 I haven't polished them in a while, 
but I like the patina on them 

when they are in need of polish; 

it gives them their old vintage charm back.

I moved my white chunky candle sticks from the console table 

in the family room to compliment the white vintage frame. 

 I like the crisp look they bring to the vignette.

My hubby picked up these pink beauties at our local Trader Joe's

and they added the right amount of color perfect enough to create a soft palette against the black backdrop of the chalkboard.

I played around with a little more color, 

and decided to try a different layout .

Here, I placed the cute short round bucket that I used 

in my Nantucket Table Design a few months ago,filled it with lemons, placed it atop of a crystal cake 
stand, and  paired it with a candle in a glass jar my daughter made at Vacation Bible Camp this summer,and instantly a new vignette was born.  

 

  

 

 I love when children create beautiful things, 

and this glass jar candle with scripture attached

is one art project I will treasure forever!  

Regardless of which layout I choose to display for now,

one thing is certain; this dining room chalkboard

is the perfect addition to my dining room buffet.

 

Bon Appetite!
