About this
This post shares two reader-submitted whimsical Halloween tablescapes for Tablescape Thursday. The first, by Liz of Infuse with Liz, uses vibrant purple, green and orange with a spider-web tablecloth overlay, cat masks at each setting and a witch hanging overhead. The second, by Bonnie, is a black-and-white breakfast room table mixing checks with polka dots, creamware, white pumpkins and a ghostly centerpiece. A full resource list names where Bonnie sourced each piece, including prices and stores.
The plan
- Shop around on tablecloth pricing: the checked tablecloth used by Bonnie came from linentablecloth.com for $10.59 versus a similar one seen at Sur la Table for $45.
- Hunt resale sites like eBay for one-of-a-kind pieces; Bonnie found her wall shelf years ago on eBay by searching "wall shelf + ceiling tins".
- If participating in a Tablescape Thursday-style link party, add the permalink to your specific post (not your general blog address) and link back to the party so visitors can find the other participants.
- Avoid typing your post or blog name all in caps when linking up, since it creates large gaps between the rows of links.
Decoration ideas
- Halloween color scheme mixing vibrant purple, green and orange.
- Spider web tablecloth overlay over the base tablecloth.
- Cat masks placed at each place setting.
- Winnie Green witch figure kept watch hanging overhead from the chandelier.
- Curtains/drapes that echo the spooky wallpaper look (readers noted faces reminiscent of Disney Haunted Mansion wallpaper).
- Black and white checkered tablecloth used as the base in a breakfast room table.
- Mix checks with polka dots for a playful pattern clash.
- Flatware that combines both checks and polka dots.
- Creamware paired with white pumpkins in front of a mirror for impact.
