Color, texture, stay or go?
First off thanks for the many congratulations, regarding our publication in Country Woman magazine!~
So much fun it was indeed.
Now onto this post....
I am not one into table cloths. At one time, I loved them, and lace ones no less.
Now I like table runners and placemats.

I am not one into table cloths. At one time, I loved them, and lace ones no less.
Now I like table runners and placemats.
Of course, as you know color is key for me.
Now that I finally have valances I like, it is hard to find the right table runner to go with, or should I say compliment.
Today I went to Marshall's to buy a friend a birthday gift. Well she got one, and I got two...
even though my birthday is over.
I deserve it RIGHT? RIGHT, thank you...
I don't shop that much these days..too busy on this dang computer.
 |
| How about this score for 12.99 at Marshalls, including the bottles...I almost walked away from it, then I thought, I know what I can do with it. |
 |
| I love my faux flowers and apples from PIER I..that is the only place I like to get the faux's. |
 |
| I mentioned color and texture. Well here it is. As you can see I am very much drawn to these colors... These are the same colors in the valances. I think it is a nice compliment..paisley and check? Sure why not.. |
 |
| As you can see I did not place this table cloth the traditional way. I layered it on each side. It just looked too perfect the other way, I hate perfect. |
 |
| I still have to iron it, because I HATE wrinkles too.. but before I took that time to do that, I have to see if I can live it with it. |
Should it stay or should it GO?

It goes perfectly with your chairs and valance colors. Love the wicker holding the bottles. Good price on that!
Get out that iron. You are going to LIVE with it. The perfect punch of color. It goes so well. It can not go.... Remember, Tease in Color, perfect.
love the basket and bottles- havent seen anything like that!
Tablecloth is nice and bright, I am with you, I prefer runners and placemats, but tablecloths work well with kids :)
Stay....Must Stay....
Works great with the rest of the room...
Now tell me about your dining set??? Did you paint that yourself?? Did I miss that post??
Just Fabulous!!!
I think the tablecloth looks great with the valance.
Love the basket, Debbie.
Be sure to stop by my blog to enter my giveaway.
Have a great day! La
Well, I guess I will be the Devil's advocate here. While I really like the tablecloth I am not in LOVE with it in your setting. It's nice but...hmmm...well,, when I look at the room my eyes zero right in to it because it is so different from the surrounding pieces/fabrics. However, maybe that is your intent? And..I don't think colors run true in pictures either so it might be just that. But...that is just me...you can slap me silly when you see me~ xo Diana
Hi Debbie...
I am the same way any more...I usually do runners and placemats instead of a tablecloth. But...I really do like this pretty tablecloth that you found, my friend! It goes perfectly with your colors, valance, and dining room! I think it offers a nice change!
I just adore the wicker carrier and bottles! I would love to find one like that...and it was a great price too! Great finds, my friend! Thank you for sharing them with us today! You know...I just adore your dining room...it really IS GORGEOUS!!!
Warmest summery wishes, sweet lady!

Stay! I love using linens to add a little color.

This tablecloth BELONGS in your room, Debbie. Its pattern is the perfect scale to complement your existing valance. Love it!
Love the basket and bottles. Heat up that iron!
The chairs really make the matching color in the tablecloth pop. LOVE how the apples also match the top of the chairs.
I like florals with stripes, paisly with plaids, and varied textures as well.
Keep it. It looks nice, Debbie.
Hugs,
Debbie
I really like it! It looks like it belongs in your room.
I almost bought those bottles in the wicker from TJ's but put them up. They are adorable.
Have a happy 4th!
Debbie I think it goes beautifully in your kitchen, it has all your colors. I LOVE the bottles in the wicker holder! Martina
The tablecloth perfectly compliments your dining room! I think it should stay. Love the little bottles, too. I have something smaller and need to do a little number on it! Your dining room is beautiful!!
XO,
Jane
My vote is to stay. It brings pattern and visual interest at just the right height. Your eye is drawn to the tablecloth. Great choice:)
It looks nice but is it to much pattern with your valences being plaid?
Love the tablecloth..but the picture hanging low in front of the dog bowls is what caught my eye...great idea..I have 3 dogs and I think it's about time they had art on their level! Thanks for the ideas and inspirations :)
I would have brought home the wicker holder too. Totally love the tablecloth...but I'm a fabric lover and there's nothing better than a great floral in my opinion! I think it looks divine. You could always cut some of the tablecloth off and make a pillow for the other end chair...I love the way you have a pillow on one of them. Regardless, it's a change and it didn't cost very much. Well done!
I think it's pretty & should stay. It compliments the valances nicely.
I love the tablecloth, but what really caught my eye was the shelf up high above the window. Love the asymmetrical styling. Your dining room is so inviting and homey.....is that a word???
The tablecloth is so pretty! And it works with your valance, too. I say keep it.
*stay* But I have never met a table linen I did not like! :D
I bought the kitchen table painted this way. It was from a Spanish decor store in South Florida.
Oh, I think it should stay! I'm a sucker for paisley. It goes so well with the valences so you HAVE to keep it.
you really do love to shop don't you,, and best of all you have such good taste.I see you like roosters,, I have several paintings of roosters that I've painted this year.I love them as well, I have sold three rooster paintings in the last two months, a lot of people like roosters ,, you have a beautiful home.I can't wait to buy the magazine so I can say,, "there she is,, I know her",, lovely
I'll be buying that magazine Deb! I have found some time to visit some blogging friends and can finally say congrats to you for having your home published in a magazine, couldn't happen to a nicer person!
I like the tablecloth but it just doesn't seem YOU but that's just me, I'm a table runner myself:)
Thanks so very much with the email she got in touch with me...

Deb I love it all! That wine bottle holder is perfect with the stems and love the color palette you are using!

I have a New, very fashionable Giveaway from the Shabby Apple on my site! Come and enter!
Debbie, I'm loving that tablecloth with the paisley! I do love paisley fabric and wallpaper, too. I think the cloth gives the right touch of the same colors in your valances. It should stay! ;)

Debbie, I couldn't tell what thought about it when you showed it up close. When you showed the photo from a little distance, giving the full effect of how it looks in the room....gorgeous!! I think it is definitely a "stay"! It looks so pretty with your chairs.
I think it looks great in there! I know you have to give it a bit to see if you like it. I get that. I like the little wicker bottle set. I saw one at Stein Mart and didn't get it but wish I had.
Debbie it has to go, go, go....I'll send you my address so you won't feel bad about getting rid of it!!!!! Seriously I want one..love, love, love it and it's absolutely perfect!
OH Debbie...I really love it! Your home looks so beautiful! And a BIG congratulations about the magazine publishing...I can hardly wait to see it!! XO
Deb,
Just got to read the Country Woman article!! Fantastic!! Congrats to you!!
Love your kitchen too!!
hugs,
Debbie
Definitely STAY!
The colors are perfect and I think you might like to have the option to put it in your decorating rotation.
I like it, Debbie.
Debbie,
I love the tablecloth. Is it Waverly? I am a Wavery nut! I sometimes turn my tablecloths in the diamond shape and layer with a smaller one on top. Kind of cute :) Anyway, I had to tell you that I dreamt last night I was in my favorite shop and I ran into you. We were happy to meet each other. I went back to buy some king size yellow RL sheets and you had scooped them up. We must have the same taste in dreamland, lol!
I love it, Debbie! And, how you turned it the other way looks great ... I hate perfect, too! The neat bottles were a true score! And, BTW, whenever I buy a birthday gift for someone, I usually buy myself one, too (or, is that *two*) ?! LOL
Why have I not noticed your chairs before? Did you change them? Or is it our great camera? Room looks great wouldn't change a thing.
Stay, stay, stay!!!
I can't believe you got that sweet basket from Marshall's WITH the bottles!! Lucky girl. And you are so right about the faux stems - Pier 1 def has the best around. Now, I'm with Lori - how did I miss those chairs??? Love 'em! Your kitchen looks spectacular Deb!!!
xoxo,
Kim

And one more question? How are yall getting your comments numbered now?
How do I get comments numbered?
~JO
Hey friend! Well, I like it! I think it is nice to have something like that to throw into the mix now and then even if you decide not to use it everyday. And besides, you could always just use it to make pillows if you get tired of it! LOL!
Vanessa
Oh Debbie...I have so much to say!! I have been away on vacay, and am just now catching up. CONGRATULATIONS on the magazine publication. How exciting!!! I can't wait to buy a copy for myself!!! LOVE that tablecloth, by the way, keep it! My friend Kate at The Garden Bell was telling me about a photo redo you are hosting on your blog. I SO WANNA do this. Can you fill me in??? Hugs to you.
Kris
Hi Debbie, I love how your tablecloth compliments your valances. I say keep it and enjoy, when you grow tired of it put it away and bring it out again in the fall. You have such a great eye for design, I love your dining room! I hope you have a great day!
Hugz,
Kim
What I love about it is that you can change it up by folding it down smaller, putting it on an angle ect. You can show more table or less table depending on your mood. I say keep it!
I think we're sisters from other misters! :-) I hate perfect too...and love color. Can't stand all matchy, matchy. I think these colors are perfect for your space. You could also make a runner and napkins from the tablecloth...just a thought! The bottle thingy is great too.
xo
Pat
I love it!! You just can't go wrong with 12.99 finds and natural items like fresh fruit!!!
xxDaniella
The colors are perfect and it makes a nice change! I would keep it of course..it's nice to shake things up! ♥
I think it looks beautiful!!! It is the perfect colors! And I LOVE how you placed it! I am so going to steal that idea!!!! Keep it, you will find lots of uses for it. Love the bottles and carrier too!!!!!!!!! XO, Pinky
I say it's a stay! I love pattern and color! And like the others said, it could always become a pillow or seat cover, etc. But for now it looks great right there!
Debbie@refreshrestyle.com
I say it stays! At least until you get bored with it.
Congratulations on the magazine article. I got my Country Woman magazine today and I had to stop what I was doing to check out the article. Great pictures nand especially the one of the family. Can't wait for more articles! Love you kitchen. I have used chickens and roosters for over 30 years. Our son is nicknamed Rooster cause my husband said he ruled the roost! Kwwp up the great work.
I love the wicker bottle holder! I will have to look for one of those!
It looks good but I like your table runners better! Your runners show off your gorgeous table!
