What is it about ruffles?
On bedding.
On tables.
Pillows & draperies
Ruffles are quintessentially romantic
They bring shabby vintage
yumminess to a room or space.
The romantics in us love a ruffles for their sweet frillyliciousness
& their layers and layers and layers
of charm & romance.
I found these ruffled pretties recently and used
2 of them as a tablecloth
on my outdoor farm table table for a romantic
early evening tablescape.
A little vintage china
a little silver
a little bling
&
pretty pink roses
mixed with a lot of ruffle…
perfect.
These are bedskirts which I found at
They have dreamy white …
and creamy off white which looks like a tea stained linen- so divine.
I didn’t buy them to use as bedskirts…
I had a few ideas in mind for them when I saw them.
The tablecloth was one of them.
I would love to make them into a duvet for my bed-
the one at Urban Outfitters talks to me every time I see it…
but not loving their price.
For now,
I am enjoying the beautiful white layers on my farmhouse table.
I’ve been making some changes out in the backyard…
hopefully it will be finished enough to share soon!
Have a Happy romantic Sunday everyone!
🙂
*Since I have had several questions about these:
These are King size in white.
They are big on a table for sure-
but I was thinking about that duvet 😉
so I wanted the correct size.
The top material is a bit slick (maybe nylon?)
but it works and the ruffles are linen.
I haven’t sewn it yet-
just pinned them together to create a nice drop for the table.
They are at Overstock for $33.99*
🙂
It looks so fresh, dreamy and yes very romantic!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Hai,
your post is ruffle-icious (lol).
Beautifull. Your post makes me happy. This early – Lazy Like Sunday – morning I made also a tablesetting with candles, wings, lace etc.
Have a lovely evening.
Talk to you soon.
Hugs, Sylvia
Your table is just stunning, Courtney!! I see you were able to use your roses again in your vignettes!! Love all the ruffles…I'll have to check out Overstock. Wow…what a pretty table!! 🙂
XO,
Jane
Gorgeous!!!!
GORGEOUSLY ROMANTIC!! I love it, what a great idea to use bed linens for this, there are wonderful stuff for beds that could be perfect for the table decor. Have a great week sweetie. FABBY
I love ruffles! How clever to use a bedskirt for a table cloth!
Sooooo Romantic, and just divinely gorgeous!
Nancy
Thanks Courtney, I just had to go buy a couple!!
Huggs, Nancy
Dreamy, romantic, and girlie post, Courtney. Your table should be in a magazine!
Your ruffles are certainly dreamy and romantic and it is such a good idea to use them as as tablecloth!
Courtney, this is definitely a romantic setting. What a clever idea to use the bedskirts.
okay….you had me on the first photo. I just ordered it. Have no idea how I will use it but it will be fun playing. Thank you for the inspiration Courtney! xo P.S. I pinned you too.
Interesting use of the bedskirt! I bought the ivory one for my bed early spring at Stein Mart…a local store. I'll have to check the prices at O.co and see what the white costs…for a table cover! 🙂
Your table is gorgeous!
Pat
So dreamy and romantic! I love ruffles too! I enjoyed every picture!
Couldn't agree with you more, Courtney! I just love ruffles!
Well, you and I think alike! I did the same thing with my bedskirt from Overstock, except mine is the cream color. Your table setting is beautiful! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Marcia
Very pretty, and so romantic.
I think ruffles should be everywhere!!
hugs
Sissie
I just love the ruffles. The table looks so romantic.
Kylie
That looks sooo pretty. Would love to have cloths like that for my table. Fiona
Your inspiration was beautiful. I was wondering what sizes you used and what you did for the side that has no ruffles or do you totally redo the whole thing? Just wondering. Thanks, it is beautiful
Oh so gorgeous! Bedskirts! Who would have thought?
I just love it!! It is beautiful!!!
Wow, what a great idea! It would have never occurred to me use a bed skirt in this way. It looks just dreamy and completely romantic. What did you serve for dinner? Even if it was a simple salad, I am sure it was delicious because you made such a beautiful setting. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely gorgeous Courtney! They remind me of a petticoat and look absolutely lovely outside in your beautiful backyard. They would definitely make an incredible duvet too! 🙂
Vanessa
Perfection!
Gorgeous! Note to self: buy a ruffler for my sewing machine. when ever I see ruffles all I can think is how much I hate gathering–buy boy how much i love looking at them! Thanks for sharing! jessica
SO gorgeous. I want to come to dinner at your house. Pretty please??? 🙂
Hugs,

O I love ruffles too, so cool to see that these are bed skirts, you would never know!!
I LOVE it Courtney !!!
What size did you use? I want to get one but wasn't sure if the king size is tooo ginormous:)
Ruffles (white ruffles of course) make my heart flutter! Love this post Courtney! I'm going to pin your gorgeous table setting to my PINTEREST board.
Blessings & hugs,
Karen
Very pretty, very romantic, I love it, what a brilliant idea!
Oh, this is so pretty, Courtney! What a clever idea. I've been eying up some ruffled shams at Urban Outfitters…wish I felt like sewing some.
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing where you got those, they are simply beautiful. Your table is so inviting, I want to go there!

Good Morning!
I just found your lovely tablecloth on Pinterest! BEAUTIFUL….I shared it with my lovelies today at { http://polkadotbungalow.blogspot.com/2011/10/ruffleeeee-goodness.html }! Thank you for your inspiration! Have a very lovely Fall!
{HUGS}
How much of a drop was the bedskirt? And also is it the same length on both sides when you use it as a tablecloth?
I am so in love! So elegant!
