Glam Skullduggery


My husband and I first saw these black with gold skull plates at Zgallerie.  They have been on sale for awhile, so I thought they would look great with the gold goblets we bought.
I love black and gold together.  I guess this table connects visually with Jacqueline's Purple Chocolat Pirate Poison table.
She  is using the black and silver skull plates with her design

The table starts with this beautiful tablecloth from My Chair Covers.
I layered it with our gold glitzy placemats.

Gold flatware from Horchow. The golden goblets are Zgallerie.  We bought them months ago when they were on sale.

I used black chargers with the golden plates I also found at Zgallerie on clearance.
Then I added a black plate, another gold plate from Home Goods and then topped it off with the gold skull plates.




The centerpiece is a cake plate from Home Goods, topped off with a large skull from Ross.
The skull lights up.


The little skeletons are from the dollar store.  I spray painted gold.



There you have it.  A creepy but elegant skull table with golden highlights.

I did this table earlier....Just trying to find some energy to post it.  I am recovering from pneumonia.
Stay healthy and have a fab weekend. The butternut squash soup will have to wait until next week.

  2. Oh Linda, I hope you're feeling better from the pneumonia. You poor baby!! In spite of all that, you sure managed to put together one glamorous Halloween table. The skull from Ross makes a great centerpiece. I especially love the candleholders on either side of the skull. Get well soon! xo

  4. Linda, Sorry you are recovering from pneumonia. That is awful stuff. I had trouble with walking pneumonia. Can't image the real thing.

    I love your glam style. You can repurpose this tablescape easily after Halloween. Hurry and get well.

  8. Absolutely stunning! I love black and gold together and you've done a beautiful job with your decor. I think that perhaps we might be sisters from another Mister as I love, love tableware, crystal and stemware, etc. :)

    So very sorry you've been sick! I hope that you're resting and taking good care. My son and I both have a tendency for upper respiratory problems & pneumonia. Will keep you in my prayers!

  11. So sorry to hear you have pneumonia too! Definitely you are in my thoughts and prayers!
    This table is so glamorously creepy! See, I told you that we are kindred spirits - I love this table and love the gold version too. Everything you bought from ZGallerie are things I have drooled over there. They have such nice things, but it is sure nice to get theirs at a discount. Gold and skulls are perfect together. I love your little guys on the napkins - love a little paint! The chairs are absolutely fabulous too! A little glitz and glam for the pirate in us all!

  13. Good morning, Linda!

    I am always late with this email notification; but is there room for me at your table? You are just such a pro at making a table a feast to attend, even before the food. Gorgeous combinations of gold and black and somehow for me, there is such a JOY in the darker side....HAVE A GREAT OCTOBER!

  14. Linda, I'm so sorry to hear you're under the weather...hope you heal quickly & feel better fast. REST!!
    Your table is glorious in all its black & gold finery...love the entire scene. I can see it used for an elegant dinner party some other time, too, with just different centerpiece & a switch of the skull plates. I, too, love black & gold (my mater bedroom colors) & you've really done this up nicely. BRAVO!

  19. Pneumonia? Ugh! I'm so sorry. I hope you are feeling 100% in no time. I know it's no fun to be sick at all, and the pain of pneumonia is awful.

    Holy moly, Angeline Jolie!!!! This is a beautifully 'scaped table, Linda! It's a nice balance of spooky and spectacular. I love all the Z Gallerie pieces! I have long admired both the gold "bumpy" plates and those goblets there.

    So, so pretty! You really did a great job! Feel better!!!

  24. I *LOVE* this!!! Good thing we don't live closer because I'm pretty sure I'd be inviting myself over regularly to see what new tablecapes you come up with in person.

    Hope you get well soon. Pneumonia is nothing to mess around with!

  29. Oh Linda, your decorating is exquisite. We just moved into our new home, and I'm going to need lots of inspiration with my holiday decor this year. These black and gold skull plates are delightful, and I love ZGallery - me and Jess often go in there when we're shopping. I've seen the cake centerpiece from Home Goods too. And Ross - you have all my favorite shops on here. That spider candle is something else. The napkins under the plates look ghostly too. This centerpiece was created with such imagination. You're so creative, Linda. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.

    Happy Autumn days.

    love,
    ~Sheri

  32. Oh, such a spooky, ghoulish table, Linda - love it! The colours are perfect and the skulls and spiders would have me sitting on the edge of my seat with nervous excitement. How fun for Halloween!
