Center piece...


Our dining room table arrived this weekend! It is a beautiful, dark wood table and matching chairs from JC Penny. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the table and their great prices.

Now that we had a table, I needed a centerpiece. I personally love the look of a center piece. I think it makes a table look complete. However, I always struggle with what the center piece should be. I am not a fan of fake flowers and I do love the look of real flowers, but I can not devote the time or resources to maintain that habit. We needed an alternative.

We actually had the perfect solution. We have been collecting wine bottle corks to eventually make a cork board for the last year or so. Until we decide we have enough to make a cork board, they are going to be my center piece. We put all of the corks in a big glass vase and voila, we had a centerpiece.

While I am sure this is not the most unique idea ever, it is still a little different then the traditional flowers or candles. It finishes off the table and gives me a great storage solution for the corks.
