I remember when I first started moving to another city that was a complete stranger to me. I had to decorate my apartment and buy all the necessary furniture. If you watch Unbeatable furniture deals you will understand what exactly helped me with decorating my apartment. I decorated the tables with thin towels with a long border, which looked incredibly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

My dinning table - it is usually more cluttered - but always has wine bottle candles and I love natural wood. This is called Live Edge that uses the natural tree edge in the boards without trimming. I found this at a local Box store and was my Birthday gift to me... not real spendy - but I really like it!

I try to keep the whole house neat and clean, BUT the dining room table doubles as a desk, with notes, articles, and all kinds of papers. At least when guests come over it's an easy clean.

Old newspapers, empty beer bottles and dirty plates are my go to decorations

I usually only decorate on Holidays sometimes , Christmas all the time,,occasionally will do a fall theme ,Single guy but try and keep the table cleaned off most of the time ,like that look

Nice!!!! Pretty and Nice!!!! Pretty Nice!!!!!

I don't decorate. I like a clean table top.
If I had the storage, my counters wouldn't have anything on them, but
the coffee pot and the toaster oven.

My table gets decorated, and undecorated by my roommates, Xena and Zelda. I did have my SIL paint my Dining room table white, and then I put a stencil in it. The cats can't knock that off. Decorating with kitty girls is impossible, so I gave that up.

I usually rearrange the books stacked on it! Any flat place in my house gathers books!

I keep a spray can of Raid on the table all the time along with lots of other junk.

Always a candle to give warmth and light and show a way back in the darkness. today, roses picked from the rose garden, for perfume to fill the room.

Very simply, and unextended, when not being used.
