Adding a little BURLAP in the Living Room

 I love the look burlap gives a room, and when I saw these burlap table skirts  in Ballard Designs I had to have one and I knew exactly where I was going to use it. The tables that I have in my living room were a set and I've had them about 16 years now. I don't think I want to paint them but I like how adding the table skirt to the oval table breaks up the set, it actually makes the table look round. I love this look!







I also added a burlap shade from PB to this lamp that I bought in Home Goods a few months ago. I love PB lamp shades, they have so many styles to chose from.




                      Hope you all are having a great week!  Martina

The table and lamp shade look fabulous, Martina! I love the table cloth- it gives the vignette a lovely feeling of movement! I adore the ruffles at the bottom!

Lori said...

So beautiful, love that lamp and shade too.

Marty@A Stroll Thru Life said...

The tablecloth is gorgeous. It looks beautiful with your chairs and such a great idea for a change in looks. Beautiful fringe on the bottom. Love the shade also. Everything looks amazing. Hugs, Marty

The tablecloth is so pretty! It looks great with the chairs. I know what you mean about not wanting to paint the tables. I have a few pieces I would like to paint, but then again, I'm not sure I really want to paint them.

I got the burlap tableclothes without the fringe last year, Martina, as the fringe ones were out of stock. I would have preferred the fringe, but the ones I got happened to be on sale at the time anyway. Since I had slipcovered my sofa with a white slipcover, I found the burlap to be a nice neutral and texture added in. I love your lampshade. That is next on my list when I find a little lamp for my new little dresser.

I've had my eye on that burlap shade at PB. It looks fabulous on your lamp. I think the lampshades they have available now are wonderful. Very neutral. Great job...your room is lovely!

Debbiedoos said...

That looks awesome Martina~ I love the texture and French look it adds.

Southerncook said...

I have come to love the look of burlap as well. Just bought five round tablecloths for outdoor dining and most recently bought a whole bolt of burlap fabric for whatever. I am hooked on the use of burlap myself. Loved your post, your table cloth and shade.

Oh, I just love that burlap tablecloth! It really is still so very elegant in it's rustic-ness. :-) Those kinds of touches that are a bit more relaxed is exactly what I am trying to add to my own home and this was great inspiration!

It is amazing how changing a lamp shade can change a whole look. Good choice!

Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...

Wow, the lamp shade looks like it was made for your lamp. Great shape and size! I love the contrast between the burlap tableskirt and the dressier chairs on either side. Beautiful updates for your room!

Sharon Lee Johnson said...

I love your new table cloth. That deep fringe just finishes it off so beautifully. Those 2 chairs on either side are also gorgeous. And I love your Home Goods lamp - that was a real find - and the lampshade is perfect! It really is a beautiful room - magazine worthy if you ask me! x Sharon

Looks so nice Martina! You did a great job on the tablecloth - love the fringe at the bottom. It looks really nice with your chairs!

Your burlap looks soft. I have never found any that didn't shed and feel so rough. Where did you get yours? Beautiful for a table cloth. Fab photos:)

I love your new burlap tablecloth, Martina !! I've spied it a couple of times in the BD catalog. It truly looks wonderful in your space ... and, the matching burlap lampshade from PB is perfect. And, you're right ... they DO have awesome lampshades, don't they ?! Now, if they'd only come down on their prices just a tad. LOL. xo

Your living room is gorgeous. I love the big window and the burlap tablecloth looks right at home. You really pulled everything together using the tablecloth. The two chairs and the checked pillows, it looks great.

I want one of those tablecloths-too cute. I like theburlap lamp shade to tie it all together. A lovely room.

Carrie @ Dittle Dattle said...

The table covering is so amazing! I recently used a drop cloth to make a slip cover but I really would love to work with burlap. I love the added fringe :D

Your tableskirt is wonderful. And I love the window decor!

Julie said...

I love burlap details- great color and texture! Very nice choice of shade. :) I've been eying some burlap pillows on Belle Escape but haven't ordered them yet. Maybe I'll find a shade to match first! The lamp we have is similar to the one in your last photo, but black and more rounded. I think a burlap shade would probably offset the iron nicely.

Thanks for sharing!!
