Wonderful old table with layers of peeling paint...

Don't you just love the burlap tablecloth? = )

Monica bought the black chairs on our "girl trip"...our friend Patrice Gage made the black and white buffalo check cushions and the burlap tablecloth.

Turkey plates, vintage salt and pepper shakers, vintage napkins, and fresh roses set the autumn table...

Staci, Jeremy, Will, and Rhett, Monica's children, gave her the turkey plates for her birthday...

Love all the chairs...
