Tania Sinel: ~fall on the deck~{pick your poison}

I love squeezing in every inch of summer weather, as it turns into fall, by dining outdoors.

Theres something so refreshing about sitting in the fresh air as it turns a bit chilly at night.

We recently re-did our deck, and while it's not quite ready for it's full reveal, I wanted to give you a glimpse into a fun tables cape I did with a new dining set we just got.

We eventually need to get an outdoor sofa and chairs because this deck is huge, 1,000 square feet. But for now, we decided just to get an affordable dining table and chairs. We picked this one because of just that. It was affordable, and stylish all at the same time. It seats 6, so like I said, we will be adding onto it next spring, but for now, it's perfect for our little family.

I was also drawn to it because it came fully assembled :)

Once we put it on the deck I decided to do a fun fall tables cape that isn't your typical one.

We have a plethora of apples off my sisters tree, so I thought it would be fun to do a apple theme, and I ran with it.

In lieu of a typical floral centerpiece, I used this beverage tub and filled it with water and simply added apples. Kind of a fun spin off of "bobbing for apples"

I flanked it with these topiaries, which will also be great indoors around the holidays!

Each place setting has a silver charger and a grey melamine {outdoor and kid friendly!} plate.

To give it a more rustic feel I added brown burlap ribbon as a table runner and wood slices to each plate to hold caramel apples.

I used the same ribbon to wrap around the apple cider jug to cover the label.

This platter has a fall feel to it and will come in handy this season.

Can you feel the fall chill in the air?

I love, love, love it, my favorite time of the year!

I hope this gives you a little inspiration to think outside the box when setting your table, and using what you have, as well as adding in a few inexpensive items to spruce things up!
