DIY Farmhouse Inspired Tablescape {for the Holidays}

5 Materials
If you’ve been following my projects, then you know I like to do as much DIY as I can…and as inexpensive as possible.
It all started with a trip to the fabric store and dollar store…where I do my best thrifty shopping.
I ended up with a roll of burlap ribbon, some lovely pink placemats, and some off-white lace doilies.
I still can’t believe I bought lace doilies!!!
Well, I took the pink placemats and doilies outside and spray painted them! The placemants became charcoal grey (thanks to Rust-Oleum spray paint) and the doilies became metallic antiqued brass (thanks to Rust-Oleum spray paint).
I simply cut a piece of burlap ribbon and tied it around my folding chairs (yes, I used them daily...I wasn't saving them for a special occasion like this, hehe).
I layered the placemat, doily, a couple plates, a piece of burlap, and topped them with a gold bell. I also added some gathered burlap around a few artificial plants. And ta-daa! A pretty, farmhouse inspired table setting!


It'd be easy to modify this farmhouse look for a different holiday or special occasion.

    If you hate placemats why didn't you just purchase chargers at Michaels or JoAnns,they aren't much more and then you could use them throughout of the year when other holiday's occur? I love the way your table scape looks.

    SO pretty and SO clever! What a beautiful tablescape! Rustic organic is such a wonderful look. I hope you have very Happy Holidays!

    Love this idea. You said you painted the doily's, but in the photo they look the same color as the ones you purchased. Is it just the photo not showing the color?
