Dining Table Centerpiece

Most things in my home have to do double duty and this holds especially true for decor. I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase of a decor item that isn't at least a bit functional at the same time.

For my dining table center piece I came up with a list of practical items we use while eating and threw in some "pretty" things in hopes of tying it all together.

1. Napkin Holder
2. Salt & Pepper Grinders
3. Butter Bell
4. Toothpick Holder
5. Stevia Packet Holder
6. Coasters
7. Candle
8. Small Flower Arrangement or Vase
9. Seasonal Decor Item
10. 3 Mason Jars to hold Forks, Knives and Spoons (maybe)

It started out like this:






Then we decided to put the leaf back into the dining table and the centerpiece, which had already been a bit too small for the table to begin with became even smaller and wasn't large enough to hold everything on my list anyway.


Walmart had a wide array of galvanized containers available and I picked a sweet and simply tray to arrange all my goodies. Can't beat the $7 price tag!







...and thanks to One-Eyed Willie, the small woven tray was IMMEDIATELY re-purposed:

Little Country Shelf that could

I found this cute shelf years ago during the clean-out of a foreclosure home. It would have been thrown in the trash had I not taken it home...
