Designer style table on a budget + a free xmas serviette printable
It’s all about the table…
It’s where we eat.
It’s where we talk,
and laugh.
Where we meet,
with family and friends.
It’s also about the budget and design.
We’ve never had a table like this before…
{Designer style on a budget.}
Until now.
It’s reclaimed Elm,
full of lines and grains.
Gorgeous to touch.
And,
impressive to look at.
After much Pinterest searching
I found these guys…
Introducing the Dalton from Interior Secrets
our new table heirloom.
It’s a whopping 3m long,
and I can safely say it will seat 12 easily.
I’ve teamed it with the Caprice Chair and Eames Replica Side Chair
You can check out founder Bill Huynh’s story here.
{I love a good start up story}
I made a green foliage flower arrangement last night,
as a test run for Christmas,
over wine with friends.
And,
designed some serviette tags.
You can download these Christmas Serviette tags for free here!
{NB: I used 2 x white disposable serviettes to make these, fold, then staple the tags as pictured}
I’m thinking something like this for Christmas day.
With the glasses full.
{Obviously}
And music.
And traditions.
And,
NO table cloth,
now we’ve oiled our new table,
with this furniture oil,
so we can see the wood in it’s glory.
The serviettes are all made…
And we are ready to enjoy…
The food to come.
And the wine to drink,
{did I mention the glasses will be full?}
And,
of course…
the Pork Crackle Festival on Christmas Eve.
This year Ben’s volunteered to cook the pork,
{which Adrian won at the local raffles} on the webber
{he’s got big shoes to fill},
But,
I reckon if he can build a deck to perfection, he can cook Pork Crackle too!
{I’ll keep you posted Dad and Jane}
We’ll even be playing hand ball here,
(go figure, some people think it’s a perfect middle line)
This is where we will be this Christmas.
Eating with new friends
and old.
Missing our family and friends,
(but it only feels like yesterday that some were here
playing with this guy)
In our lives,
It really is all about the table,
and the people you gather there.
The stories you make,
over the grains in the wood.
And the dreams you discuss…
then make a reality.
I wish you all a merry Christmas
and many table gatherings
with family and friends.
And traditions,
and remembrance of the ones that are missing at your table.
Thank you so much for following our journey this year.
I’m taking a break over the holidays to get my studio in order to start creating new works for my Yamba Scandi Collection.
We’ll be back with a full house tour in February.
Until then.

Thank you Ashlea. We have been enjoying decorating our new home and I must say this table is just my favourite thing, it’s going to be able to tell lots of stories.
You forget how many little things need doing in a new home.
Have yourself the most fabulous Christmas lovely lady. x
I love homemade county style decorations especially Christmas ones! Serviette printable idea would be great for many occasions: Happy 21st, Happy Golden Anniversary, 10 Today etc. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for this idea

Too true, and the fact that you can use regular store bought napkins to decorate on a budget is a win I think. Happy festive season to you and yours. x
Your table looks gorgeous. I love the plain, simple colour scheme to match the table and outdoor setting.
Thank you Natalie.
I think it will become our new family heirloom.
Have the most wonderful Christmas, with many good times at your table. x
That table is a stunner – and it’s going to get more beautiful with all the good times you’re going to enjoy around it! The printable like everything you do is uber ace. Wishing you the happiest of holidays – hope all your Christmas wishes come true! See you on the other side! xx

Ain’t that the truth, many a good time to come around this table.
Thank you lovely lady here’s to a fab Christmas with your family and friends around a table with food and drinks and lots of good times xx
Love this…we will be on the hunt for a new dining table in the new year and I love the look of this. I really want a big table that can fit our family and friends around it – 12 is a great number.

I’m so pleased with this table, we get comments all the time, because of the size and feel, i love it because it will fit 12 and even more that you have plenty of space in the middle for all your serving plates and food. I totally recommend the guys at Interior Secrets they were fab to deal with, you won’t be disappointed. Have yourself a fab Christmas.
I love your table and will definitely be checking out Interiors Secrets. Thank you for the tip! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas in your new home Sarah. Thank you so much for linking up with HIT this week. I hope 2016 is a year of many blessings for you and your family. x
