The top is a black/white marble, pretty cool huh??
So then I needed to accessorize. So I used, what else?? More artichokes. I liked the colors in these and they go well in the room.
So I gotta ask, has anyone else out there ever decorated with artichokes?? I mean, it's not like it's fleur-de-lis, topiaries or transferware dishes - all sensible choices. I'm talkin' artichokes. Just wondering so my husband doesn't think I'm a total nut. Remember girls, I told him I "HAD" to have it!
Have a great day!!!

That is a neat table! I like artichoke stuff too. I have some fake ones and some candleholders in my closet and just have never put them out. I'll have to pull them out and find a place for them!
Cool table! I'll admit, I've never decorated with artichokes before, but then, I've never found a table that awesome before either!
I have artichokes in a pretty box in my bathroom. They are mixed in with potpourri. I think they are gorgeous. Have you seen the painted artichoke platters in the Etsy shop at Kari and Kijsa's? They are to die for!
Well I failed to say that I love your table! I would have snapped it up too.
I don't have any artichokes, but if I did -- I would use them. :o) I love your table and the decorations you used!
Your artichoke table is beautiful and using a bowl full of artichokes as a centerpiece totally makes sense.
That is a great accent piece! I have one little artichoke "faux finial" that I got a few weeks back, I think they are cute and make very interesting decor items. Look great with the ivy trailing down too!
That is a great find but I love the china cabinet you bought also.
Thank you for visiting me and leaving me nice comments.
Take care,
Carolyn
Doesn't everybody who's anybody decorate with artichokes?! I love the table! Of course you had to have it! Great find Kim! God Bless! Lauralu :)
Kim, I loooove it! Yes, I do have some in popurri(sp?) and I have some artichokes in a floral arrangement in the kitchen. I would have to of bought that table too! Great find! Nancy
That looks quite classy!!!

Very pretty Kim! I love it.
I have a pineapple accent piece and now you have me wondering if it's really an artichoke after all.
I like it either way!

Hi Kim...oh yes, you definitely needed that darling table!! I do have some faux artichokes & candleholders I like to use on tablescapes...I love their shapes & colors. I think you did your new table justice with your artichoke decor! ;-) Bo
Oh girl, you must have artichokes! Finials, lamps, tables, and I must have the fake ones somewhere in the house. Can't get enough of them!

Hi Kim,
Tell DH, you are not alone...I have seen other artichokes around Blogland. :-) I'm pretty sure Lynne, at Lynne's Gifts from the Heart has used them in her rooms. Love your new table...it is so pretty, I think you could use it almost anywhere...even beside a chair would be great! :-)
