So Much Burlap

After the hoedown, I had a lot of burlap left. I hate to throw perfectly good things away so I found the perfect use for the fabric. Recently, we found the perfect table for the den. We had been using a glass table, but it didn't give quite the visual weight needed in the room. This table was perfect and it was on sale. The metal was gold and the chairs I had were black, so I spray painted them an antique gold and covered the black paisley seat cushions with the burlap. I still need to find a way to fix them to the chair. I don't really like the trailing ribbons usually used, I find they always need retying, but I might end up doing just that. Maybe a rougher fabric (the old ones were satin) will not untie itself so often.

I also reused the white pumpkins from Brittany and Jody's wedding, the orange pumpkins from the hoedown and the leaf garland and lights.
