Black and White And BOO

Black and White Pumpkin Table

This year there was actually a pumpkin harvest at StoneGable. I have tried for years to successfully grow pumpkins to no avail. Due to the hot, dry weather the pumpkins I planted grew... and took over the garden.

This table was inspired by the Little Boo Pumpkins from my prolific garden!

I am enthralled with the creamy white color and waxy texture of the Little Boo Pumpkins! Combining them with black and white elements created a fun yet sophicated table.

The white "all purpose" tablecloth gives a clean background for the black and white theme.

Black and white napkins double as placemats once folded in the middle. I often use this trick and no one is the wiser... if I don't tell!

Pearlized grey flatware fits nicely with the color and feel of this dramatic table.

My love for mismatched piled high dishes is evident at this table. A large leaf and berry white charger grounds the grouping.

The black and white handpainted checked plate makes a perfect base for a Little Boo! And just to guild the Lilly, a little gingham ribbon is tied to the stem!

Napkins that match the placemats are doubled with a black and white check napkin for an extra punch. They are caught up with a white vintage feel napkin ring.

White bubble glasses and delicate porcelain cups and saucers are added to each place.

A wrought iron tiered fruit basket becomes a festive centerpiece.

Straw-like exselcer acts as a filler make a soft nest, of sorts, for the pumpkins.

A little pumpkin greets the table guests with a big BOO!

Large white pumpkins on wrought iron bases contribute to the centerpiece.

A large oil rubbed bronze lantern glows with the warmth of a bow embellished pillar candle.

Dessert plates are ready and waiting for a delicious pumpkin cheesecake.

StoneGable FYI: If you have visited me for any length of time, I am sure you have seen many of the pieces on this table before. Everything on this table is something I had on hand. And with the exception of the pumpkins, I have used the elements in this table many times on TT.
