Ok... tah-dah... this is the main photograph for you - my little recycled mini milk bottles with their arrangements artfully stuffed into each bottle for you....White daisy type chrysanthemums.
Here above another view and showing off the table in all its rustic glory. Remember our friend Chris made this table - I am still impressed. We picked out the old floor boards together for the table from a Salvage yard remember... ? If not, click HERE... What I love about it is the fact there are still old paint splodges on the boards from their former life.
This is how we decided to finish off the table... To go modern with deliciously chunky painted legs. And they will (when I get round to it, promise, Mr SE) be slightly distressed with the aid of wire wool and wax later on. We have also married the table with modern chairs as you can see - I love the whole mixture thing. (Sorry about the TV being on as a back drop to the photograph)
Now back to the flowery theme of the post.. This is outside and these flowers tumble over from next door. I just know you are going to tell me they are weeds. Never mind. I like them!!
And look we have grown something this year - chillies. Our tomatoes were a dead loss though. And the cat (Button) had to get in the photo so I took a second photograph....
Lots of lovely hot chillies !!

Lots of lovely hot chillies !! Be sure to go on over to Jane's blog to see the other flowery offerings that are joining in too...or just go on over to check out her blog; you won't be disappointed, I'm sure.
A happy week to all.
Your table is amazing, Semi Expat...
ReplyDeleteThe chrysanthemums in the vases look like something from a magazine photo shoot.
Mildred said she was glad to see her Melbourne partner-in-crime, Button, is also a media tart.

Wowza, your table is glorious!! And it looks amazing paired with those very stylish chairs, now have serious dining area envy!! Which isn't to say the flowers and chillis aren't vv impressive too - I think the slightly industrial milk bottles are perfect with the table. All together 10/10 v. g. tick as my ma would say!xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers, table, and chillis. All very HOT!

Oh WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteI do love the way chillies grow...pity I can't eat them! xo
It's a wonderfully artful and simple arrangement, and the table is lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers. Love the table too xxx
ReplyDeleteBelinds is right on the money, 10 out of 10 for the whole look. Incredible table. Perfect chairs. And, as you know, I'm a sucker for repurposed bottles. And then the simple, all one, all white flowers in them.
ReplyDeleteSemi Expat you may be, total stylish you are.
Thanks for joining in and finally giving us a glimpse of your new home.

Wonderful table - so full of friendship, love and great workmanship! We're thinking alike on the flowers, tho. That gives me a bit of confidence. thanks.
ReplyDeleteHot stuff ! I can feel the heat from the chillis and the sun in the photo! So jealous ! Beautiful arrangements and your table is fab. Sinead
ReplyDeleteI like the mix of old wood as a table and the Eames chairs seem to fit well in very different interiors. And I like white flowers too; ).
ReplyDeleteLove the table and the creamy legs..the mini bottles remind me of the ones we had at school 100's of years ago!!!
ReplyDeleteDo they still make them in OZ? Ida
I love the table and the contrast of the wood with the clear glass vases and the flowers...Button looks very cute too!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers on the table Sarah....simple and fresh. I must remember to do the same. It looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky thing, red hot chillies!! Yum!

The white flowers on the rustic wood table look lovely. And as for those tumble-overs...if they are weeds, they are very pretty weeds.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should have milk bottles. Nice.
