I had some fun this weekend setting our dining room table for some guests we are expecting soon.
You see, we are having some friends over for dinner.
You may know them too?
Bella Swann & Edward Cullen.
Don’t they make just the cutest couple?
I hope they feel right at home here in the Twilight Zone.
Fun fact:
Back in 2008, I stayed up one night reading one of the Twilight books.
I turned and turned the pages until almost 3 in the morning.
On a work night…
I seriously considered calling in sick to work the next day.
Just so I could finish the book.
Like those striped taper candles?
Check out how I made them here!
Anyone else expecting any fun Halloween visitors?
Anyone else get bitten by the Twilight bug back in the day?
I am still Team Edward all the way!

Team Edward totally! I spent a Friday night -Saturday afternoon without budging from my bed reading the first 2 Twilight books. I finally had to force myself to leave my house and go for a run. While I was running I dreamed of being Bella. I needed an intervention.
Ha, love it! Glad to know I wasn't the only one that needed an intervention! TEAM EDWARD!
Love the black and white candles!
Thanks Jenna. Check back tomorrow to see how I made them!
Gorgeous! I'm definitely Team Edward too, but Jacob may just have the better body… just sayin' though! Love all the black and white. You have amazing talent! My Halloween visitor will be my Baby Boy who will be arriving (whether he wants to or not) on the 25th, if not earlier. So, maybe some extra family will be visiting me and Baby Boy as we adjust to a family of four.
I agree about Jacob and the bod- but there was just something about that Edward! Wow- you are so close to meeting your little guy- so exciting! Sounds like you will be very busy this year, maybe Edward and Bella can come by next year… they have plenty of Halloweens in their future…
This made me giggle. I read all 4 books one year over Thanksgiving weekend. Love you and your creativity.
Ha. I think I was delirious when I wrote this. But I do think Bella and Edward make a cute couple, LOL. I wish we had another series that I could get this excited about! love you too sissy cuz
This looks so cool!! I'm hosting a pillow cover giveaway that you should enter. http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/10/pillow-covers-giveaway.html
I love all the mixture of pattern in your dining room – so much character!
Love the overall setting, your lamps and chandelier are great. They really make your dinning room special.

Thanks Pam!
Love this table. I know what you mean about the Twilight books…wonderful.
LOVE the striped candles! I was totally the same way, I read the Twilight books until 2am on work days and then on my lunch break. lol
Great table display!
Melissa- glad to know I wasn't the only one that got sucked into the Twilight books! Thanks for your note!
I am rushing to the basement to find my hubby's electrical tape! LOL Love the striped candles and the table.
Wonderful table…those candles are great. Love all of your details.
The candles do make the table! I thought they were pricey McK-C candles, and then went over to your tutorial, thank you!!! LOVE your chandy too!!

Love the black and white room with the huge splash of turquoise is fabulous. I love the lamps they are to die for… My mother collects that Milk White like the vases lined up through the candles and I have learned to really love it too! I am writing a new series of Vampire Saga called "Not As I Was" that will quench the thirst for more vampires, romance and mystery. Look for it online very soon! There will be 5 books in all…
I’m a bit late to see this article, but came upon it thru Pinterest. May I ask the manufacturer of your chandelier…BEAUTIFUL!
Yep it is West Elm! Love it
