A Simple Fall Table Setting by The Wood Grain Cottage

A Simple Fall Table Setting

September 16, 2019

With entertaining season right around the corner, I wanted to share a simple fall table setting idea. And when I say simple, I mean simple. Today, I'm joining a wonderful group of bloggers to bring you a whole collection of table setting ideas. Alicia from Nick & Alicia invited me to join in, and I'm so happy to be bringing you an easy idea you can recreate in your own home. So many times, I know setting and decorating a table can be a little bit intimidating... but it doesn't have to be. And setting a beautiful table also doesn't mean it has to be anything extravagant or fancy. I kept it as simple as possible on my table, and I loved how easy it was to put together, and how lovely it ...

Christmas Table Setting In The Dining Room

December 5, 2017

Raise your hand if you've ever felt overwhelmed or intimidated by setting a holiday table. If you're raising your hand, know that I've been right there with you. I can remember a time when it felt like a really hard task... but honestly, setting the table for a holiday really doesn't need to be all that stressful or hard... promise. All that matters at the end of the day, is that you're gathering together with family and friends to celebrate. And if we're really being honest, the only necessities are the plates and silverware... okay, and maybe a glass! But we also like things to be pretty too, right?  Today, for my Christmas table setting in the dining room, I'm sharing such an easy ...

Christmas Table Setting In The Breakfast Nook

December 4, 2017

Are you ready for a bunch of Christmas posts? I hope so, because these next few weeks are going to be jam packed full of decorating ideas, home tours and all other things Christmas! Bring it on!  Today, I'm joining a group of blogging friends to bring you ideas on decorating your table for the holiday season. I'll also be sharing another fun idea tomorrow too... so get ready to have all the table setting inspiration you'll need this year!  I always love to set the table in the breakfast nook a little bit more laid back. The space itself is more casual with the bench seating, all the pillows and the smaller setting of the breakfast nook. It's also one of my favorite rooms to ...

Pumpkin Fall Table by The Wood Grain Cottage

Pumpkin Fall Table

September 28, 2017

Last fall I decided I wanted to plant pumpkins. Lots and lots of pumpkins. I kept imagining a front porch full of them, so this spring I planted 4 different varieties. Fast forward a few months and I literally have pumpkins coming out of my ears.  But, that's not really a problem, is it? Especially for a heart that loves fall.  And another reason having baskets full of pumpkins isn't a problem? Fall tablescapes. That's right, today I'm bringing you another fall table idea, only this time, it's all about the pumpkins from my garden. I'm so happy Shannon from AKA Designs asked me to join in on her fall tablescapes tour. Let's get started, shall we? Since this fall table is all ...

Summer Table Setting by The Wood Grain Cottage

Summer Table Setting

June 29, 2017

With summer officially here, and those summer parties in full swing, today I wanted to share our summer table setting as part of the styled and set blog tour hosted by the lovely Lory of Designthusiasm! Each season we've joined together to bring you simple entertaining ideas, and for this tablescape, I've done just what I always do... keep it simple!  If you're joining me from Becky Cunningham, welcome! I'm so happy to have you!  And now, let's take a peek at my table. I always like to start with a focal point, or a center idea, and this time, it was the beautiful grass that seems to be growing along the edge of every ditch in our small town. I was able to cut off a few bundles ...

Instagram post 17877687346486071 We are loving the evening glow from our Christmas tree! Today on the blog, I’m sharing all the details on our tree and the different steps and layers I used to create it. It’s such a beautiful addition to our living room. 🎄

Instagram post 17855703316617271 Happy Saturday! We’re installing more interior doors and trim today! What a big difference it makes! This fixer upper of ours has been making some big progress lately. 😍 
Throwback to my last house... but our new doors will look similar to these!

Instagram post 17856780565609483 Our new flocked Christmas tree arrived and I spent the afternoon setting it up and fluffing the branches. It’s such a tedious job, especially on a new tree, but it’s worth it! 
I’ve been trying to decide how I wanted to decorate this year, and while I was “fluffing”, I think I finally decided. And now I’m excited. 😬🎄 This lovely picture is from my last house, all decorated for Christmas. 😍

Instagram post 17842824415781814 On the blog, I’m talking all about designing and purchasing our IKEA cabinets. We still have a little ways to go before we “officially” have the cabinets completely installed and finished... and then we have all the other things we need to add, like a custom vent hood, backsplash and open shelves, just to name a few, but if you’re wanting to use IKEA cabinets, today’s post will give you a good idea of what to expect!

Instagram post 17881252693452397 I’ve been updating the home tour of my old house on the blog, and I ran into this gem of a picture. This breakfast nook was such a beautiful space.

Instagram post 17859897157563074 I’ve been on the hunt for a new flocked Christmas tree since this beautiful tree is waay too tall for our 8’ ceilings... and I don’t want to look like Clark Griswold with my tree stuffed in the corner about to burst through the window. 💁🏼‍♀️ Sooo... I searched high and low to find the best flocked Christmas trees. There are some seriously beautiful trees... and after getting our tape measure out, we finally picked our new tree and it should be here this week! 🎄

If you’re looking for a new tree, be sure to head to the blog... I’ve organized them by size to make it easy! 👍🏻 #thewoodgraincottage #thewgc #christmasdecor #christmastree #flockedchristmastree #ontheblog
