ReplyDeleteKathleen, such a Stunning Table.
ReplyDeleteThe black and white makes such a statement, and that striking centerpiece is just perfect.
Who would have thought... 'Black Hydrangeas' !
Oh what a gorgeous TST! I love everything you did. What a cute little mushroom in silver on the table and all in black, white and silver. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I love the scare crows on the porch. I think your table setting is so beautiful, those black and white checked plates, wow and the napkins, just perfect...thank you for sharing all of it...
ReplyDeleteKathleen, Kathleen, Kathleen, that is stunning....your best one yet (and they are all great)! It is amazing what can be done with just black and white and a little silver.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the help....talk to you soon.
This is going to be one of my favorites for sure. I love the black and white. That was a great idea for a centerpiece. I'd love to be sitting at this table.
ReplyDeleteSue
Oh what a wonderful Halloween tablesetting. Looks like lots of "bewitching" fun at your house.
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white look. Those little witches hanging over the table are so cute too. Do I see the BH&G van pulling up to your home now for a photo shoot? It looks so professional. Your neighbors are lucky to live next to your home and also I bet they get to eat some of your baked good too:)
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Love this B&W! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe Kathleen!! First, your fabulous front porch and door all decked out for autumn! I love all the beautiful mums! Next, that table is just so creative! I didn't know you could spray paint hydrangeas! What a cool idea and the table is set to perfection too! Cindy
ReplyDeleteThe centerpiece is gorgeous! I love all your pieces... what a great tablescape for Halloween or any nice fall night!
ReplyDeleteIt's all gorgeous! I really love your tablescape! Great job!

ReplyDeleteYour outdoor decorations are just great, but your table is real eye candy. I love that centerpiece.
Sandy
Love the black and white! The front porch looks amazing too! You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYour fall decorations are just so cute and everything is done so beautifully. I love the pretty scarecrows. Your tablescape is stunning. I love the black and white and the check dishes are wonderful. I love all the white pumpkins too. Gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI recognize the plates from Home Goods and I love them! What a clever centerpiece. The whole table is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteOh, the black and white is so cute for Halloween. I love the checkered plates and the white pumpkins! Very nice. Thanks for sharing and happy TT to you!
ReplyDeleteHey, this could double for someone's 50'th birthday party--or 40th ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine where you got the inspiration for those plates :)
You're so clever to spray paint the hydrangeas. They do add that spooky flare.
Loving the black wine glasses and witches flying through you chandelier.
Feel better.
- The Tablescaper
What a dreamy porch! I know the trick or treaters love coming to your house! And your tablescape is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you told me about the cloche, I just had to go take a look and leave a comment. See what happens when you don't feel good and then you don't make all the rounds. You miss the best things of all. I LOVE your cloche and the pumpkin inside is wonderful too. It is huge and what a thrill it will be to decorate inside. Oh, I can't wait to see what you do at the next party. I really do love the size of it, what a find. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThis is right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteHere is a post I did about some birthday baskets I did this year.
http://www.familytreesmaycontainnuts.com/2009/06/birthday-baskets.html
I love black and white yet I don't use it in my house at all.
What a great black and white tablescape. You have the black and white plates I've been coveting. Loved seeing your wonderful porch all decked out for the holidays. Very inviting! Thanks for sharing all the details of your table and the porch.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, your rhyme is so cute, and your table is stunning. How can you make a tablescape pretty and cute all at the same time? Your entry way looks so inviting, but I absolutely LUV that pumpkin tea pot with the ghost lid. Great post! laurie
ReplyDeleteKathleen, love the bigger pics! Your outside decorations are terrific but the tablescape is "to die for"! What a great colour combo for Halloween and those black/white checked plates work great. As always, your hydrangeas make a wonderful centerpiece when painted black and surrounding the white pumpkin. Absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteDD
Your yard is so inviting! Like the table too. Like the white pumpkin, those diamond plates are awesome, and love the black/clear stemware.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely and inviting front porch! Thanks for inviting me!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteWhat a TOTALLY awesome tablescape, Kathleen!!
ReplyDeleteSpray painting the hydrangeas was brilliant.
Your checked plates are awesome....they look like a Makenzie Childs design.
I ♥ the little mushrooms!!! Too, Too cute!
Oh & your front porch is really cool, too. :D
Thanks for visiting Pandora's Box...and I LOVE your back and white plates..I HAVE TO ET THEM!! Did you purchase them recently at Home Goods? I bought small black and white polka dot plates there recently, and they would look lovely on your table! I'm on my way to see if our local store has yours!! Your table looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteStunning, creative and elegant! So glad I found your page!
ReplyDeleteLove all your beautiful decorations! Thanks for sharing it with us! Dishes are gorgeous!

BOO-ti-ful table, Kathleen. A red door will be stunning. ... I love all your Halloween touches. The pumpkin cushion covers are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love it all Kathleen! You are so darn clever!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you cracked me up about collecting opinions of the paint samples on your front door. Only YOU, Kathleen! *grin* and (((hugs))
Your grandchildren must love coming to your house! I love all the decorations and I swear I saw Matt Lauer hiding behind one of the pines :) I think your door will look stunning painted red. Of course I'm a slightly biased - LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of your post is your table setting! I love everything about it. Black and white is another favorite after red! Leave it to you to paint hydrangeas black! Great job!
PS - I just spotted your reflection in the mushroom :)
ReplyDeleteWELL...there THEY are!! I just knew you'd use those adorable black and white plates in an awesome tablescape...and you did!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great...If I wasn't weak and sissy and....*gulp....OLDEN..(there...I said it), I would fly to your house and arm wrestle you for those plates that would feel SO AT HOME in my Sweet Nothings cottage!! :O)
The door is so inviting but the table display will having me moving in next week. FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully inviting witchy tablescape!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
Really Wicked Rainey

I love the black and white table setting!!! Fantastic for Halloween! My favorite holiday. Thanks for showing us.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, Hi! Concerning those brown bowls (only had 2)---I did purchase those at my corelle outlet and those were the only two. But the ones they sell in the stores are half the size...they look similar.

ReplyDeleteVery classy dining for your coven! The black and white looks pretty stunning! I love the witches flying 'round your chandelier.
ReplyDeleteThe black is so striking. I love the centerpiece. I'm going to have to get a white pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteOh I really like this black and white table!! Just gorgeous and perfect for October. The white pumpkins are fabulous. Well done Kathleen!!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, thank you for stopping by to see me & all my fall flowers for Outdoor Wednesday! I think your porch is adorable. LOVED the tablescape. The sprayed black hydrenageas was a wonderful idea! I have some that not looking so great colorwise. It would be a perfect solution. The black & white was really cute with the white pumpkins & black hydreangeas.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Kathleen, you are quite the poet and story teller! Loved it and your tablescape! Hugs, Cindy S.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks so festive!! And, I luv your white pumpkin on the tablescape. Great job!! Stop by. I just opened Cottage Loft Boutique. Connie

Oh I love the black and white table! Even my teen daughter said, "that is so cute!"
ReplyDeleteKathleen, Stunning and Fantastic as always!
ReplyDeleteWow, love, love, love the black and white! Everything is bewitching! Hugz, Z
ReplyDeleteOk, ok... I'm slow getting to everyone today- I was gone on an outing with a friend to meet HER new blogging pal from TX! Had a blast.
ReplyDeleteSo... Your black & white tablescape is just so classy! love the checked plates! I would love to do something like this for the holidays- I bought new silver and white dishes during a huge clearance sale at Target last Xmas. Now I need a black tablecloth- but it is so hard to find some colors in a 120 inch length.
The hydrangeas are gorgeous.... did you use floral paint spray or regular paint?
Always happy to have you visit, Kathleen! hugs,Sue
Love the tablescape and I love your front porch decos!
ReplyDeleteYour front porch is so country & cute. So you are going to paint the door red? That will be even cuter!!
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is very neat. You have a nice collection of black and white to mix up when you want...the plates are awesome. AND, so are the black hydrangeas!!!
Enjoy your weekend, Kathleen!!
xoxo
Jane
Kathleen, this is a stunning tablesetting. I love those black & white dishes...you've outdone yourself with this setting!
ReplyDeleteYour porch is so welcoming in it's fall decor. How fun you even have the pumpkin fabric for the loveseat. It will be fun to see the door color transformation as well.
Inquiring minds want to know...what paint color did the UPS man pick for the door? :)
You're entry looks beautiful and the Hydrangeas are great!
ReplyDeleteI have those checkered dishes too and love them! Your entry looks ready for fall and your tablescape is beautiful! Love the centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteManuela
Great table...love that centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteVery creative, thanks for sharing. Love your front porch!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Kathleen...You are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYour table is stunning! I had to take a double look at your chins cabinet ~ I thought it was mine (lol). Great post!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tablescape! I LOVE the black checkered plates! This is so creative...never seen black hydrangeas before :-) They were perfect in this tablescape! Thanks, Kathleen for the kind words over at Houzz...I so appreciate you! Now, GET WEll, will you? :-)
