<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Sunday, folks ... and, come on in!  Welcome to what *used* to be our Fall breakfast area.  It's all looking like Christmas right now, but I wanted to share with you what it looked like just last week!  </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are a few changes to this area since I shared it last time.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHuyQaksAKh63vE_zvbJTKI97IOGZZuciPkTATbzEt_aRPJ92U6u4hkDN_YSU9zG4s4JdW1acpLBp9mysi_Ra6Bln7Dmj1ITy7bWPR51FhmkLrv3n1tW0jL9K0nyGZy7BuLNt5KJX4si4/s1600/fallbreakfastoverall1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHuyQaksAKh63vE_zvbJTKI97IOGZZuciPkTATbzEt_aRPJ92U6u4hkDN_YSU9zG4s4JdW1acpLBp9mysi_Ra6Bln7Dmj1ITy7bWPR51FhmkLrv3n1tW0jL9K0nyGZy7BuLNt5KJX4si4/s640/fallbreakfastoverall1.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The biggest change being that I painted the table base Annie Sloane Old White, and I also asked my sweet friend to recover our chairs.  It's actually extra fabric that I had stored away!</span>  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugywN3JefQtfzbgwsidDEY_gkTohp1TVcceseGcOCeokpHU9WFSOxEr0OsS0GIZidb4d2EjKhPZoVbs60QiUF3Ty8YX69icf-v0md-ql4EDe9okqZiOjJ0jMXSiSl2sCAtmqfCBEgvoA/s1600/fallbreakfasttable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgugywN3JefQtfzbgwsidDEY_gkTohp1TVcceseGcOCeokpHU9WFSOxEr0OsS0GIZidb4d2EjKhPZoVbs60QiUF3Ty8YX69icf-v0md-ql4EDe9okqZiOjJ0jMXSiSl2sCAtmqfCBEgvoA/s400/fallbreakfasttable.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also added a bit of this fabric to the center of the table, layered on top of a *burlap-y* looking fabric.  I then placed a grapevine pumpkin on a cream cake stand and covered all of that with a large glass cloche.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgva5Tx0LJgXH43EqZwOj3K9L2eqzxFKtOHn__P6xVgul6IM8x0LITdF0Uqg1FtBsqCtcjgtT_QgcrdeIVx3udCUbGVUJAArKKJVQ2exn6xTe2SFzXBGleZGPGn150VjPiNJghLc1nhqoM/s1600/fallbreakfastcenter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgva5Tx0LJgXH43EqZwOj3K9L2eqzxFKtOHn__P6xVgul6IM8x0LITdF0Uqg1FtBsqCtcjgtT_QgcrdeIVx3udCUbGVUJAArKKJVQ2exn6xTe2SFzXBGleZGPGn150VjPiNJghLc1nhqoM/s400/fallbreakfastcenter.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also added "EAT" above the window ...
