Hello everyone, today I am going to show you how I keep my dining room table set and beautiful, however it is kid friendly and could withstand two little boys 3 and under. I like my house to look very put to together and maybe a touch formal. However with these boys, there has to be some adjustments. Also, another little bit of advice here if you are working with ,not the most beautiful flooring, decorate and then reevaluate. I have teal carpet, and after I got my stuff in, it isn't bugging me too bad.....for now anyway.
1. I got plastic wine glasses at Wal-Mart and adding them in.
2. Instead of breakable plates, I used plastic Chargers from Hobby Lobby $1.99 each, since they normally go under a dinner plate, they usually go under a paper plate and it saves my runner from getting food on it.
3.I found a runner I liked and added it for color.
4. Add coasters to protect the table and add a extra touch. I found these monogram coasters at Tuesday Morning for $9.99.
I did 3 hydrangeas, my favorite, in a low vase so conversation can still happen over the center piece.
5. I added four pretty napkins and napkin rings to place on the chargers.
6. And the only breakable thing on the table are the two taper candle sticks, and they are far enough from the edge that they will hopefully survive.
I love a set table because it keeps the table from being a catch all and it reminds us to meet as a family there instead of the TV.
