My Table Centerpiece.

I always want to have a table centerpiece. But when my kids were young, I cannot really decorate much. But since they are teens already, I am able to decorate the house however I wanted it. This is now my Christmas table centerpiece. I think it's simple but elegant. Do you put centerpieces at your table?

There is always a vase with leaves on the table and itkeeps changing. I also put flowers in the vase occasionally

That's great! And since you have a lot of flowers there, you can always change it. Nice!

your centerpiece is beautiful! I do not have centerpieces as my cat would destroy them. He likes to knock things off the table. I do keep a vase of fake flowers on a little table that we keep behind the case. my cat doesn't jump on that table much

We used to do that a few years back. But later when the routine got disturbed, I just couldn't follow it. And I couldn't continue with the same schedule after that. But now that I remember what I used to do and the images that you have put here, really make me feel that I should again start putting centrepieces and having various colourful flowers. Changing them intermittently to keep the atmosphere fresh and positive is also a cool thing.

@rakski Correct. I think it's time I started doing that. I don't know why I didn't continue with this very sweet habit of putting and changing flowers in a room.

It is a very nice centerpiece. I usually keep nothing on the table, but I decorate some surfaces of the house that we do not need to use every day.

@rakski - I place a table cloth before our meals, so I do not want to have to move the centerpiece twice a day.

That's a lovely one! My mother takes care of the decorations, I think we might have centerpieces but I don't remember. I was into decorating as a kid but now I can't be bothered. You know, putting things up is fun but taking them down once the holidays are over... not so fun.

that is good. I think we needed an expandable table. Most celebrations are done here but I still have to save for that

That's very festive. My little dining room table is by two windows. My youngest cat likes to get up there so I don't put anything breakable on the table.

It is definitely simple and elegant. I liked it. I do not have a table centerpiece currently . Earlier we used to have a artistic bowl . Now , none on the table. Most of times , I am there with my laptop working on something and then quickly move onto lunch or dinner, so quick removal of things on the table , to get into course of action. In fact , I have stopped focusing on those aspects of home for sometime. Perhaps when you get too busy , we forget about such simple and beautiful things in life. Almost 16 hours is what i spent working today. I would be wrapping up soon for the day. Take care!

Your centerpiece is so beautiful! I don’t have a kitchen table, so there is no centerpiece for me. I would like to put one on a desk like piece of furniture I have in my living room though. I just love the picture.

Very pretty. I believe the reason you were not able to decorate when they were kids because they were playful.

Yes, that's true. And as I don't have a helper, it was harder because I have to guide them with school and all that

That looks very festive and pretty for Christmas I do like a centerpiece on my table but haven't started doing any Christmas decorating yet. Right now my centerpiece is a crystal bowl with candles on either side.
