Thanks for your gracious comments, Holiday-ers! candy...yup, I'm hooked on "teapots" now, too (not "teakettles," as I said)...love the 'Enablers R Us' group here! Marylee & Frou & PM...my Mom has to be smilin' down on me about dressin' Babydoll!(& she does have cute toes & fingers...even tho they feel like plastic. I've enjoyed decorating w/her so much since coming to this Forum...will pass on to DH shelf compliments. The ceramic baby chicks I got after Spring sale at a local specialty consignment shop. punk...I bought that column (table post or whatever) for $10 at another CShop ...it was stained that color & my Mother Hen is wood from HLobby...had her for a few yrs now & seemed a perfect match! There is a nail sticking in the column for candles. jane & pat & nana...those brown bunnies called to me...I bought them over 2 or 3 yrs at another specialty CS...I leave them out for summer usually, too. Ever since I've seen party-music's wonderful hand-made baskets I am on the outlook for them! LOL...hope to see some more BOP pics...SMILING is good! Thanks again, everyone! Jeanne S. ... now need some more motivation & energy...you all help with that! LOL! I got another of those "columns" or whatever you call them for $10 (which is a steal around this area, anyway) & DH & I did this project last yr with it...painted it white:

Nice. I would hang the sign but not too high. For the top of the buffet, I would keep the wooden house thing, put the two candles on the other side and that is all. If you have a low bowl, you could put it in the center....I always thought an uneven number of things looks best....3 or 5. Nice bufffet.

Trying to figure out why your table isn’t centered under the light. I know you said you’re renting, but that light fixture is just sad. The mirror doesn’t work there, it’s too small. At first glance I thought it was a window. How about some art there?

Maybe switch it all up? I think the candlestick grouping would look nice on the buffet, placed where one of the silver jars is. Candles burning look so pretty reflected in mirrors. If you want to keep it simple, just add one or two other items on the other side. I posted a few examples below, but I don’t know what your decor preferences are, so these are just very basic ideas. Are you attached to the runners? If not, I’d get some lighter or colorful ones (and maybe just one for the dining table and not the buffet). ^^^ One jar, not three. ______________ For the dining table, you could try arranging the buffet items, just the white bowl alone, or something completely different.
