One of the cheapest ways to makeover a dining room or eat-in kitchen is to add a tablecloth. A light-colored fabric can significantly brighten a space (especially if it's covering a dark table), while a patterned or color-saturated tablecloth can become the focal point of a room...





Love that kitchen! Not a hint of a mortuary there.

Mortuary, bromelia? How's that? Or do you mean cemetery, as in marble headstones?

The chairs are from the link provided will tell you.

Forestdweller, mortuary as in stainless steel dissecting tables and appliances.

okay, I have to say, the title-- "instant decorating: add a table cloth"-- made me laugh. it's just that it's so simple and basic... (and I just picture some awed reader all excited about 'learning something new'-- "a tablecloth! that's it!!") I know it's something that many people don't automatically think to do (I swear I'm not being catty!), but I'm just giggling over this suggestion. maybe it's just past my bedtime...

Anyone know where the candelabra pictured is from?

I really like this kitchen. And love bromelia's comment on the current "mortuary" trend in kitchen design. Kitchens should be warm and inviting happy places. Like this one.

Wouldn't you have to change out the tablecloth after every meal because of spilled food or drink?

Yes, I really want to know more about the candelabra! It looks like it uses tea lights, which is awesome because I have about 300 of them.

justveggingout, depends on how good your table manners are. A trough would certainly be more practical, but not everybody's style.

I think a table cloth with a pop of color can help change the feel of a room and help with a not so good table, a good way of reusing.

So, I am going to ask a probably dumb question here... but does anyone know where the candle holder is from? I absolutely love it. :-)
