When I came home from work on Friday to find that Keith was gone to the gym, I decided to set the table really nice at the last minute to surprise him. I had planned to cook dinner at home anyway. But, instead of the usual place mats or even more lame, dinner in front of the TV, I thought it would be a good excuse to bring out some nicer things!
It's not china and crystal, but the rustic look was right up Keith's alley!
I remembered I had a few yards of burlap leftover from another project. So, I cut it into a strip and frayed the edges with my fingers.
I also rounded up our two antler candlesticks (wedding gifts)
Simple is good!
I love our chocolate brown linens!
Check out my menu from this past week, I've updated it with the results of all the things we tried. We had a couple of winners!

What a beautiful table setting!
Glad y'all had a fun night :)
Sounds like a great impromtu dinner! I love nights that just turn into talking, laughing and sharing...
Have a great week!!
I LOVE IT!! Those candle holders are awesome, and the napkin rings are perfect.

That's lovely! I think it's important to use the things you have, not just for big group gatherings, but even just for dinner for two...or one! I like to set the table special for Sunday dinner. Last night I had little white pumpkins strewn about and candles lit. Makes an ordinary night feel special.
You did a great job Betty! :)
Love the table setting! I really enjoy your Menu Monday, as I have started doing it myself. On Saturdays I gather my recipes for the week, make a grocery list, and shop on Sunday after church. By doing this, I save about $40 each shopping trip!
I am so glad I saw this on your blog as well as many others! Thanks again! :)
I love it!! The burlap really completed the look!
Aw Love it!!!
