Reclaimed Wood and French Script Dining Table

I finished this remodel project some time ago

but when a close friend asked if we had ever

finished remodeling our St. George condo,

I realized I had never posted more about it.

I had shown you my first tile job which was

the backsplash in the kitchen. 

Click here to see that post.

But I had left you hanging on the rest

of the project (bet most of you forgot!)

We took everything down to the sheetrock

and redid the kitchen, floors, fireplace

and baths.  

We were down there this last week and I 

decided to take some photos and create a

tablescape highlighting the remodel of the

dining area.

The inspiration piece was this reclaimed

wood table on whitewashed columns.

I found this at a local store

Osmond Designs.

Next I found these two French script settees

online.  I love the look of settees

mixed with chairs.  It makes such a warm and

welcoming table.

Coordinating French script chairs from

another online site provided chairs on

each end.

The beautiful black drum chandelier

was also an online find while

the mercury glass vases were from 

Home Goods.

So I set off to my favorite Home Goods

store in St. George, Utah to find some

fun plates and accessories to create

this beautiful tablescape.

I was captured by these wonderful

silver polka dot china plates, so

I had fun collecting coordinating

items at Home Goods.

In the condo I just had some ocean inspired

plates and since I had just done a tablescape

using that theme, I decided to find something

else that went beautifully with the remodel.

This silver backed plate was slightly

larger than the silver polka dot dinner plate

so I chose to use it as a charger.

I already had the flatware but I found these

cream and silver linen placemats and 

thought they coordinated perfectly.

The stack was topped with a matching

bowl and I was thrilled with all of

my new finds.

I also found cream and silver napkins

with silver napkin rings 

and these

gorgeous silvered goblets. 

I have never gone to the store and

just picked out a whole tablesetting

before.  It was a challenge but fun.

I was limited by the number of

linens and napkin rings I could get

so I set the table for four,

but fortunately they had more plates and

so I was able to get 7 of each of those.

It all looks so different and upscale

from before.  

We have had the place for 15 years and

it had carpet in the dining

area.

We redid the flooring so that the entry,

living, kitchen and dining is all in dark wood.

I love this cheetah rug from Ballard under the table.

I also made these lined 

burlap and flocked pinch pleated

curtains with bling detail for the

dining area and the living area.

I will finish with a shot of the

dining area at night with

the drum chandelier lit.

I love the fun patterns the chandelier

makes on the ceiling.

You can find a lot of these items

on my Pinterest board

My Building Projects.

I will show you more of the remodel

in later posts!
