Why is it that we only really decorate our house from the inside out for the holiday season? I absolutely love doing it, but then I feel a sense of loss when I pack away all the pretty shiny things in the new year. Why don’t we decorate year-round? Why doesn’t my house scream PINTEREST when people walk in? I have no answers, but I do know that I want to add more of those pretty shiny things to my household in 2018 and have fun with decor a little more. Of course, having the right essentials in place to do so can help.
Two new items in my household make it easy to bring in a touch of the season – whatever the season – to life. First, this Faunus SQ Wooden Tray makes an easy table centerpiece while being a functional piece as well. Sure, at Christmas, Santa prefers having his milk and cookies by the tree waiting in a sturdy tray like this, but after the holidays I like using a wooden tray for hosting friends, or simply creating one-stop-spot for any fun meal. It’s the perfect spot for storing pretty little things!
This tray can be stocked with fun dishware like the photos here, or you can use it for cutlery, napkins, and toothpicks for an outdoor BBQ. When having a breakfast gathering, fill it with coffee creamer, sugar, and fun mugs for your guests. Handles like these on the side are essential, of course, and ensure you can move it easily from table, to island, to coffee table or even the bed for a brunch surprise. Find the Faunus SQ Wooden Tray at Lowes.ca here!
It’s true, we don’t typically think of all the accessories I’ve been sharing from Lowes when you think “furniture store” because, of course, we’ve come to know that’s where Lowes excels – furniture! And so, I couldn’t wait to bring a new piece of furniture into our home this winter, and to share it with you as well!
I am absolutely delighted with this Monarch Specialties 244 Hall Table from Lowes! Seeing it on the website, I knew I had the perfect spot for it – the front entrance of my house now that I have a brand new door with a gorgeous glass window letting in the beautiful natural light and sunshine every morning. The measurements are also available to ensure you too find the perfect spot too. Building it took my husband and son about an hour to put together, and the end result was so worth the anticipation.
Just in time for the holidays, I was excited to decorate this table to add a little festive cheer to our entrance! With three shelves, there’s plenty of space for all the pretty things each season. I think I’ll end up changing the display a little bit monthly! Candles, picture frames and plants are always perfect as go-to’s for displaying. This item is a Lowes online exclusive and shipping is included in the price! In the new year, I plan to add some winter cheer to this table like snowflake themed candle holders and some photos.
I’m always finding little treasures when I’m out shopping and yes, they can add up when you don’t have a place to display them. Now that I have two new spots – one big, one small, for displaying all the pretty shiny things – perhaps it’s time to find more in the new year?

I love that table, I don’t have any room for one, but if I did I would definitely look into getting myself one!!
That is one good looking hall table. Great choice.
I have diddeeent table runners for my table. And different candles accents. I switch out from time to time. It’s changes the look of my dining room and it quick and simple to do. Even local dollar stores have some great little things to add
Love the wooden tray! So many uses but I like how you’ve used it to organize party tableware. Keeps everything neat and tidy and in one place.
I do like that table and I love how you used your wooden tray.
I love having a tray handy to display seasonal items on my coffee table.
I like the goal of changing up the elements of the entrance month to month. Some people manage to decorate their entire home and not many can handle such a thing (too busy, too complicated, etc.). But changing up and decorate, from time to time, one table or area people frequent means you have a more manageable project, and that you and everyone who passes by (and plenty of people will if the area is the entrance!) will get to enjoy the result; maximum benefit and enjoyment on a manageable level.
That table is super cute. I never thought to check Lowes for furniture!
That is a great looking table. I like it!
I use what I have on hand to celebrate parties!
I have to check if Lowes is open in my city. They were done building it a few weeks ago. I totally love the Monarch Specialties 244 Hall Table from Lowes! Perfect for my living room.
That side table is gorgeous with all of those curves. I’ve never seen anything like it!
wow stunning table….i must check out lower…lots of interesting items it seems
I love the hall table and tray and never knew that Lowe’s carried items like this.
That table is beautiful. I know we had a hard time finding a piece of furniture for our entrance. Our entrance is tiny, so we ended up with a bench. It seats one and is perfect for putting on and taking off winter boots. We were also limited because we had a heating vent there too, that we didn’t want covered.
I love the side table.
The hallway table is perfect for your area. Mine tends to be too wide and it is hard to always find something that just fits the space.
It’s a lovely table, our entrance way is too small for a table.
I love that hall table especially the curves of the legs!
I adore the hallway table! Tres chic!
They have some really nice mobile islands I’ve been shopping around for.
The finish on the hall table is gorgeous! I would love a couple of dressers in that shade.
I don’t shop at Lowe’s normally but I’ll have to remember in future that it’s a good place to shop for furniture. Your hall table looks great btw!
That hall table is such a beautiful piece of furniture!I love it.Great style and it gives off a warm homey feel. 🙂
The wooden tray seems like a really useful and versatile investment!
I need one of those wooden trays! What an essential. and that hall table is absolutely gorgeous <3
I absolutely love that hall table! It looks modern yet classic at the same time.
That is definitely a gorgeous hall table. I’m currently looking for one to put behind the sofa bed (to keep it away from the wall and the baseboard heater.
love the tray! nice decor choices!
I love decor.. we live in a small apartment and don’t have much room. I love slender tables against my walls really creates a lot of room for us.
Gotta love those curvy lines of the table. No room for one at my house but I love it.
That table ia stunning
That table is so cool! I would love one in our hallway.
I love the hall table. I’m looking for something similar to use as a laptop desk.
I just love that side table, so beautiful!
I would love that table but my apartment is quite small and I don’t have any more room. I try to decorate for each season and holiday even if it’s one thing.
That table is beautiful!
Simple elegance
Love shopping at Lowe’s! Always fun and lots of great choices available.
beautiful shape to that table!
I love the table and you have the perfect spot for it. I did not realize Lowes had furniture and trays so I learned something new today.
Awesome picks! I love both but the wooden tray is so cute and quaint. I love that it adds a rustic touch! It’s also so much more better and practical than a glass or mirror tray (which I currently have) – they are usually heavy and prone to shattering. I’ll have to look into doing furniture shopping at Lowe’s now!
I LOVE the table! It’s a perfect fit 🙂 I don’t venture to our Lowes as it isn’t close to home but I think I need to make a trip as the items are gorgeous
What a lovely table, wish I had room for it here too.
I love the curves on that hall table!
the side table is gorgeous with all of those curves!!!!
I absolutely adore! that table. wow wow wee wow!
I like the entrance table a lot more than the heavy old one I have now. Good job
Love that table, just wish it came in black since I am trying to find one for my new house.
I love the table. It would be perfect in my hallway. Definitely need to check out Lowes
That is a lovely table. I try not to keep ‘stuff’ around, but I do decorate my mantle seasonally, even if it’s just a couple of swaps.
love the table that would look in my front entrance
The little display table is very nice!
Nice style in this simple decor
I’m going to need to check out Lowe’s when it opens here.
Love the wooden tray idea, it’s versatile and the decorations can be changed to suit Easter, Halloween Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
I’ll have to go look at some of their home furnishings. A new store has opened up close to me so it’s really convenient to go there now.
