Harvest Table for Alfresco Dining from Living Large in a Small House

If I’m being honest, I think alfresco dining in the summer is over rated with the heat and all the bugs. But in the fall, now that’s where it’s at. Lynn created this beautiful harvest alfresco dining table for her guests. I love the little cheeseboards.

Why you should choose resilient flooring in your next home project

Why you should choose resilient flooring for your next home project

This post is sponsored by Beautifully Responsible® Resilient Flooring, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Today’s post is all about resilient flooring. You may remember some of our home projects over the past few years – redoing my office, our family room and the half bath downstairs. They all have resilient flooring. With two active boys and a dog, it just made sense for where we are in our stage of life.  Spills and accidents are bound to happen and thankfully there’s Beautifully Responsible® flooring, constructed for long term durability while fostering an aesthetically pleasing home and environment. Below I’m sharing a little bit more about resilient flooring and why it’s a great option for your next home project.

Why you should choose resilient flooring for your next home project

What is resilient flooring?

Resilient flooring is any type of flooring that can stand up to tough spills, dirt, pets while still looking stylish at the same time. It gets it’s name resilient because it can give under your footsteps yet it springs right back into place. Some different types of resilient flooring are vinyl, linoleum, rubber, asphalt, cork.

Is resilient flooring durable?

Yes!!! Resilient flooring is perfect for those high traffic areas and can take alot of heavy love if you know what I mean! They have advanced scratch protection which helps withstand the look of aging and are extremely easy to clean.

A simple fall tablescape in autumnal and gold hues

This simple fall tablescape is classic and understated whether you’re looking to decorate the dining room or entertain guests.

I just love the look of a set table don’t you? But to be honest, if you’ve been following for awhile, you know I keep things very informal around here. So for this fall tablescape, I wanted it to be simple and understated yet something that you could also replicate if you were having guests over or for Thanksgiving.  Let me show you how I put this simple fall tablescape together using our white every day dishes and adding in some autumnal and gold hues.

I always start by gathering things I already have at home and taking an inventory first. I will usually see from there if I can come up with a coordinating color palette.

I started with white every day dishware and brown woven placemats that I had. I layered it on top of these beautiful blue chargers I got from Amazon.

I had the brown linen napkins already. I knew that I was going to add my gold candlesticks to the table so I decided to complement them with some gold napkin rings. I found these gold metal leaf rings on Amazon as well.

I love to decorate using amber and teal glass bottles so I decided to use those to create a centerpiece.  To add a seasonal pop of color I filled the bottles with faux leaves in rich orange hues.

I love how this looks, a classic way to decorate the dining room for fall or Thanksgiving.

Now you could most certainly add a table runner if you wanted to. I liked how it looked without.

When setting my tables for every day I don’t set with flatware just because it’s less for the kids to play with and get their hands on. If you’re having guests over, I would choose a beautiful gold flatware.

I’m linking some of the items I used below.

Scroll down for my Apple Pear Fall sangria recipe and an exclusive code for my followers.

Apples, cider, white wine and pear vodka come together for a refreshing fall beverage.  Whether you’re getting together with friends or serving for the holidays, this sangria is a beautiful cocktail.
