That means that the unthinkable has happened and Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has got to "go home" :( 

Donna you are amazing and have brought so much to the table here on SYTYCD! It was a complete honor having you on the show. 

Her final post is next week's theme which she has dedicated to her dear Mother whom she very recently lost. She stuck through SYTYCD like a trooper through the sudden loss of her Mom. Amazing! I couldn't have done that.

Here she is with her TABLESCAPE which is our Showdown Theme

-------------------------------------

When you think of a tablescape, in most cases it's about what's used on top of your table. It's my feeling a tablescape can equally be about your chosen environment and perhaps even the tabletop itself.

This farm sign is very familiar to me. I grew up with this planted in my front yard for many years, and to me, it speaks of all things comfort and home. It's also beautiful. And I was excited to find a special way to honor it coming home to live with me recently!

Gathering inspiration from the amazing sign tones, my casual outdoor tablescape all came together.  Lavish porcelain and rich silverware need not apply here. :)

This tablescape is all about memories from living on the farm. The authentic cow tags that label each place setting are adorned with a touch of nature, little cowbell and hay like raffia. The silverware is the exact eclectic mix you'd find in the farmhouse kitchen. The placemats are simply cut plywood blanks. The dishes are a casual mix and match of whites collected over time. And the napkins are charming, old style hand stitched tea towels found in my Mom's linen closet.

The centerpiece speaks of nature, galvanized farm goodness and twinkling flames, placed on a wooden shutter. Not to mention, finding encased candle lanterns are a total bonus for the drafty outdoors!

This farm inspired whimsical tablescape will no doubt bring about many smiles and memories as days go by. The only thing that's left to do is pass the pizza! :)

I have a special presentation to share on my own blog, paying proper homage to this treasured signscape. I hope you'll join me back at Funky Junk Interiors to capture the entire experience. :)
