I like the mis-matched chairs but am not crazy about those vases. Maybe a MORE clustered look in the middle of the table would be better?

nah...just looks kinda cluttered to me.

too easy to tip over... love the mismatched white chairs thought

oooooooooh i like. they look like volumetric flasks.

With dishes and everything on the table, the centerpiece would look cluttered - it's too similar to dishes and too spread out for it to work.

I've recently changed my mind about centerpieces though... i've seen ones that reflect the ingredients or history/culture of the meal, and i loved them. Centerpieces as mindful foci.

The vases are filled with sand - it will take effort to tip them over.

I loved the other views of the use of this vase, the sand technique is lovely!

A decent volumetric flask won't tip over with or without sand in it. I've got a few actual volumetric flasks at home - maybe I'll try putting coloured sand in them.

It's hard to tell without seeing everything else on the table. In general, I think a table can work well with more than one 'centerpiece'.

Cluttered. As my friend Bob would call them: Dustables.

also, i can't help but wonder if this is a 'sponsored' post.

i think it is looking silly. i do like the chairs and the table, but the vases are just huh.

I took this vignette as a way to simply show off their wares, not as an actual setting for a dinner party. It's not very functional anyway.

when i first looked at this photo i thought the vases were fancy toilet plungers . . . .

lol, blueberrygirl

Yeah, I don't think they look very nice.

i'm with blueberrygirl--'what are all those plungers doing on a dining room table?' was my thought.
