Le Coq Has Come to Dine

Hope everyone is having a good Monday. I was so thrilled this morning to see that we got some much needed rain last night and we have had some more showers today. My yard was drying up quickly and now it is fresh and green again. 

Now on to the post at hand. I am joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday. I have changed the vignettes on the table in the breakfast room and dining room so let's have a look.


I just recently purchased this vintage tablecloth at the flea market and decided to use it in this vignette.


My sister gave me this rooster a few years ago for Christmas. I love the colors of it.
Filled this large jar with faux black eyed Susans and hydrangeas and added my vintage scale to the mix.








A better look at the tablecloth.











Let's move on to the dining room shall we?


I have my large white Pottery Barn vase that my daughter gave me for Christmas or birthday (my bad I can't remember which) and my large white rooster and my new old chippy white bowl on a Pottery Barn stool.


Yellow daisies and ferns for the centerpiece.








Took my parsons chairs that I was using for the two end chairs and brought back the ladder back 
chairs for a change.



Those are my two vignettes where the roosters have come to dine.

Be sure and check out the other vignettes this week at Marty's. I am sure you won't be disappointed.


Y'all come back now,

KIM

Kim I love both vignettes! The white in the dining room looks so great with the white in your china cabinet! I must say the warm tones of the vignette in the kitchen nook is so inviting! Love that Rooster!!

Great looking table cloth and I love the red and white curtains. I had green and white ones that looked very similar that I got from J.C. Penney when we lived in Maryland. I'm a rooster gal so of course I love your rooster as well.

Wow! I can't believe I'm the first to comment. I like your new vintage tablecloth and scale. Your centerpiece vignettes look very good. I also really like that white chippy latticework bowl thingy. Ha! How's that for a word? Where did you end up putting the parson chairs?

Beautiful tablescapes, Kim. I really love the all white (that sounds funny coming from me!) I love your breakfast table and chairs. It looks like they are waxed pine.,..one of my favorite finishes. Heading over to look at the rest of the vignettes. Love what you've done.

Pamela said...

I love your kitchen table, the check curtains and the green wall! Can you tell i noticed everything lol ! So french country just beautiful and the tables all look great!

Lori said...

Wonderful kitchen table and cloth. I still can't believe how well the green paint in our breakfront really sets everything off that you display in there.

I would give anything to have the savviness to come up with different things like that all the time! The kitchen is wonderful, but your dining room... ahhhhh! Just a bit of heaven! If that new chippy bowl you got is ever missing... well, let's just say who knows what would happen!!!

Linda said...

Beautiful rooms, Kim~ I really love that green and white!

Morning Kim! These two tablescapes appeal to my split decor personality!! Love the colorfulness of the first and then the fresh simplicity of the second. Love them both equally!!! Sooo pretty! Sincerely, Jeannette my gosh I could study your home all day!!!lol You have excellent taste!!!

My name is PJ. said...

Masterfully done, Kim. And I like how you gently bunched the tablecloth up under the vignette. Nice touch!

CosmoGirl Carla said...

Good Morning, Kim! I'm popping over from Marty's TTT linky party. You have an absolute gorgeous home! The vignettes you've created on your tabetops are fabulous as well. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love both vignettes. Those roosters are to die for. Love the vintage tablecloth.

Sue said...

Hey Kim- You are gonna be ready for the rooster party, aren't ya? I love the white vignette in the dining room. Wonder why? .... I used white in my kitchen hutch. LOL
The vintage tablecloth looks so good on the kitchen table. So pretty, all of it!
hugs, Sue

Kathy said...

Absolutely love both table tops! Roosters are a weakness for me! Don't know why - they just add so much to decor-I think. Love the colors of your rooms and the green in your china cabinet!
You do have a flair for decor!
I too am thankful for the rain -seems each little storm was quite a strong one! Looks like we're in for our Summer pattern of afternoon thunderstorms!
Take care,
Kathy

KIm, you know how much I love your home, always so gorgeous. Your yellow rooster, the jar and scales are just perfect in the breakfast room. So french and such a perfect fit for all of your wall art. Your dining room is beautiful. I love that little stool that you used in the vignette. Beautiful white rooster and such a pretty vase and bowl. I was also drooling over your china cabinet and all the pretty white dishes. Stunning. Thanks so much for linking to TTT. Hugs, Marty
