We are always changing the tables in our showroom to reflect the changing seasons and the newest trends. With fall on it's way (and the return of pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks) we have started to gradually transition the tables by adding darker colors, richer textures and fall accents. There is a lot of velvet on the tables, pumpkins and leaves scattered about, and colors like spice, terra cotta and taupe to bring all of the lovely things from the upcoming season indoors. One table that isn't quite ready for fall is our kid's table. It's our favorite table to play with because with a little imagination, it can be transformed to fit any theme. This time we went with a whimsical hot air balloon theme and included our favorite gold t-rex from our "Tea-Rex Party" table we did a few months ago. It's light and airy and perfect for any kid's party.
We were inspired to do this table after reading about the International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM in October. It's always been a dream of Brett's to go experience the beauty of hundreds of hot air balloons filling the sky. While that might not be possible this year, we heard there is a local festival right here in Mid-Mo this fall as well.
This table required a little DIY to complete all of the accents. To make the hot air balloons, we used paper lanterns, wire hangers, plastic cups, twine and a lot of hot glue!! We cut out clouds using the Cricut and attached them to our card holders and to the balloons. The light blue table linen and white runner, along with the paper clouds give the appearance of being up in the sky. And to make it look like the hot air balloons are floating up, up, and away; we set one of them on our glass cake stand.
Besides the quick DIY, this cute table was relatively simple to put together. We hope you stop by our showroom to see it and the rest of our ever-evolving tables soon!
