I set my table with a grateful heart

 Glad you stopped by today to check out what's happening at MiMi'z Houz.
Wishing you the best.

I'm so exciting to share with you a simple, but 
BOLD WOW factor...
my favorite scarf serving as a table runner. 
 It turns heads when I wear it
 and now
 it's a conversational piece at the table.
  

 I positioned the patterned scarf on the table and it draped in just the right position.  My first thought, "there's no wrong or right way".  It's what's appealing to the eyes.

Do you feel like that sometimes?
Glad I'm not alone.

So I began my table top design creating a seasonal touch of inspiration.
 
First inspirational piece: the mirrored tray, scattered with a few green apples and a glass lantern. Loving the reflection.
white plates, leaf plates, stemware

While decorating, I always count my blessings!

I'm 
grateful for my
 family and friends
with whom I  enjoy and share my home with.

 I don't take my family lightly, as my youngest brother past unexpectedly in September.
He is missed.
 
 
grateful for the ones who call me MiMi 
I love the title
 

grateful for items within my home

Nothing new on this table

 

grateful for a wide selection of decoration
 

 
 grateful  for all the treasure finds
 throughout the year 




grateful for all  repurposed items 

green striped dish towels functioning as napkins.



grateful for so many clearance items
 to choose from



No fancy  tablecloth
Perfect autumn colors    
 
     

 
grateful  for all my Houz friends 

Thanks for the visit.

Every home deserves to shine



Let it shine, let it shine, let it glow!
 
There is no better accent than a candle and it's candlestick/holder.
 
What's the occasion?
 
 no special occasion or special day, or special season
 
Candlestick/holder displays can be a year round accent.
 
Just top a table
 a
mantle
a
bathtub
 
Display a single candlestick
 or
 do a grouping
and
enjoy the  glow
 
Every room deserves to shine.

They come in different heights, shapes. styles, array of colors, full of possibilities.
 
It's  your choice!
 
Check out a few choices I made recently.
 
 



How festive a grouping of candlesticks/holders
 



Simple but elegant
 

A unique display



 
 
Remember to never leave a burning candle unattended.
 
Thanks for visiting.
