We were out doing a little Holiday shopping this weekend when we stumbled across some great ideas from West Elm. We always love tables that bring the outdoors in, especially since that means we don't need to spend much money in order to achieve the same look. Click through the jump to see one more styling from the store in Leawood, KS.
Here's another look at the previous tablescape. We like the idea of random stacks of wood and the spray painted pine cones.
Here's the next great table. Can you spot the natural element in it? Check below for a better view of it!
Placeholder Rocks! Let each guest take theirs home as a pet, or wash away the name (try chalk for easy removal) and use them time after time.

It's funny how it doesn't seem like AT writers actually read AT.

In before the "this has been posted" and "what works in a store display won't work in a home" wank. ;)
Personally, I think this stuff is neat and I'd love to do something like this in my home. But last time there was a post about the display in the first picture I was definitely in the minority....

ditto on the redundancy issues.
Why would one use a tray as a charger - it just seems to add clutter

Wait, so *every* West Elm is using that same log display? Why does that strike me as terrifying?

Trend setting West Elm in the heart of Leawood, Kansas? People should know that Leawood is one of the uber-wealthy suburbs of Kansas City ... Oddly enough, it's where the loveliest of MCM houses were built by people with taste and money to burn. While wonderfully landscaped and gloriously verdant, you can't really call Leawood "green." The area shouts M-O-N-E-Y from every doorstep.

quick question: What is the set of glasses called in those pictures?

"What is the set of glasses called in those pictures?"
Well, considering since they're on display at a West Elm store, you get three guesses where you can find them - and the first two guesses don't count...

Proposing a new rule on AT: please make even a modest attempt to answer your own questions before enlisting the help of other readers.
Anyone with me?

Wow, reading the snippy comments, I thought I was on AT:NY.

I'm a little disappointed that AT is using a main chain retailer for design inspiration... West Elm's displays are the same from store to store because they use the same visuals guide that is dictated by their corporate office. Hardly original or innovative...

Oops, looks like I wasn't in before the "this has been posted" wank. ;)

So, I'm like guessing here, but does anybody know if the silver pinecones (unless hand crafted from silver) are or would be considered a green product?
Logs seem to be the decor item du jour now, though.
