Just about a month ago, I posted seeking opinions about oilcloth. I received so many helpful and appreciated comments and as you can see, went with red polka dots on white.
I ordered the oilcloth from fellow Etsy seller Oilcloth Addict, and was so pleased with the customer service.
Hardware source: Anthropologie
Because I am prone to being a bit fickle when it comes to decor, I chose to adhere the oilcloth to the underside of the table with easily removable blue painter's tape as opposed to duct tape or even staples.
I seem to be dotting each room with a bit of red these days.
Someday new chair pad cushions will be on the list. I did attempt to sew some and came pretty close. A story for another time ...
Thankful for the sunny spring weather today.

Super-cute! Love that oilcloth! That is the same oilcloth that Kari and I use to create a cute floor for our booth when we do shows. It looks darling on your table. Such a great idea!

Hey Elyse, that looks brilliant! I love it....and I'm the same way, can't commit to the 'same' thing for too long.
It's just because we like fresh, new, change! And that's a good thing in my books!
ciao bella
have a great day!

it is perfect!!!!
love it, its so springy and happy and I LOVE those glasses too.
Hi, that looks fab. I love it and the glass knob you added. Your whole kitchen looks great. Have you looked at Cath Kidston's oilcloths? Don't. It's too tempting and the shipping is high to the U.S. But, it's gorgeous!
Ohmygosh, I looooove that oilcloth. I have some old oilcloth but it's dark and I want a light one. I went to her website but can't get it to send an email. I guess I'll just have to order some and hope there is enough yardage in the one I want. Darling, chick....

It looks great! Good choice! The painters tape is a brilliant move.
If you had asked me, I would have said your blog was linked on mine. I just remedied that injustice! Hugs.
cute oil cloth!!!
We do not get oilcloth in India or it would have been fun to use it...
Great choice, and I will note your supplier for future reference as I like you like to ring the changes.
Your table looks great! Very cheery!

Elyse, You oilcloth covered table is so cheery. It reminds me of the table in my grandma's kitchen where I would help her make pies and cookies, eat open-faced Danish sandwiches for Sunday suppers, and eat dinners with my brother and cousins when we had to eat at an "childen's table." Oh the fond memories I have from sitting at that table. Grandma's oilcloth was plain white, but I love your red polka dots.

Love the red polka dots. Darling!
Hello! Why, you're quite wonderful! So cheerful and perky. I must have been poking around in your cottage for, at least, half and hour and never noticed till now. My, how time flies! However, I'm, also, fuddy headed; so, I think this is all I shall say. Oooo! Except, I think that I'll follow along with the rest of the herd if you don't mind. = )
Love, Katy Noelle
P.S. I am saying something else. I found you through your pleasant comment to the Duchess of Tea.
LOVE IT!!! Looks so cute and springie!! Cath Kidston would be proud!!
I love all the things you do and this is really cute! I love oil cloth too. Easy clean up!

Elyse, I love how the table cover looks, growing up with such a large family, that was all our mom used to use on our long picnic table we ate on in the Kitchen. Such fond memories. Hugs, Diane
Oh me oh my I adore this look. And lots of polka dots make everything happy!!!
Thank you so so much for your sweet caring comment you left on my blog the other day concerning my daughters migraines...I am taking them to heart...lots of water has been going into her...and I will be looking into the wheat in her diet. What a blessing you are sweet friend. xoxoxo

Kelly from Oilcloth Addict here! WOW!!! I am totally in love with your project, I just had to share it with our blog readers!!!
Thanks for the shout out!
Hi, Elyse, love those red polka dots on your table. I love to have some red here and there in my home, too. I have wanted to have some pillows made from oilcloth to put on wicker chairs outside. I have never really seen any for sale. I don't sew so guess I will just keep looking. I am glad you are having some sunshine. Have a fun filled, happy weekend, dear friend! Vicki
The oilcloth looks wonderful!!! I should think about doing that with my kitchen table. I need to go take a look at the colors and designs that are available.
Now you're talking my color, Elyse! I don't know what it is about red that makes my heart sing. But the next best thing is polka dots. So you've got it all covered. Literally! And it's gorgeous!
Brenda
oh, did you make me laugh, I did gasp, I think because of the swirly hearts...well I painted them white and they are up...tomorro I will post...boy do I wish I had some 80's gold!!!!!!
I love it!! It looks so cheerful!! Have a fabulous weekend.
Love that arched doorway and the oilcloth is perfectly cheery for your kitchen area. Just the perfect touch of color without being overwhelming and can be mixed and matched with so many things. Lovely! Have a beautiful day. :) Tammy
Oh Elyse, how beautiful!
This is so very sweet and such an inviting space Elyse. I love the red dots.
How lovely darling. You have been a constant source of inspiration to me with your beautiful photos and amazing style and talent. Enjoy your day.
Love & Hugs

Elyse,
Wow, it looks wonderful. Thank for sharing the link to the shop. I love your table, and the design that you chose.
Karen
It is looking really good Elise! I especially love the milk bottles! Did you actually consume the milk from those? I never did find the right oilcloth for my project! I might have to figure out a different solution!
Erin :)
This is wonderful!!!! I so love my oilclothed table!!!! It is so fun to workon...yours is very sweet! I was alittle anxious about doing the top, but we just turned it over after we centered the oilcloth and it was so easy. I did use staples, I was afrain nothing else would hold....Very nicely done...I love your vintage table,reminds me of my grandma's....
Love love love love love it!!! Elyse it looks fabulous. I love your bright happy home :) You're a rockstar!
Just gorgeous Elyse! I love the polka dots. too cute! Terri
Love your new oilcloth tabletop!

Love,
Maryjane
Elyse, Your table is so charming! I love your choice of oilcloth. I am waiting for your sweet home to be featured in a magazine one of these days - your sweet little clothespin dolls got featured- now it's time to show off that wonderful nest of yours!
Got some seeds planted today in my little greenhouse shelf. It will be after Mother's Day before these little guys can get out in the fresh air!
bee blessed

The look is so fun and happy...perfect for summer. Great choice. Come for a visit.

I blogged about oilcloth today too. Love what you did with yours. Mimi
Forget me not's and polka dots! Two of my favorite things! What a great idea to TAPE it! I want my table to show too and I was thinking I had to sew it (don't want to sew) but to tape it underneath is so clever. You are a clever one Elyse!
Kim
I really love the red polka dot oilcloth and it looks absolutely perfect on your table. So happy and cheerful!
Love it Elyse! I have my latest RHM and congrats on the how to feature! Twice in 2 months? Wow, you're my hero!
You have Sun?! I wonder how Valerie Bertinelli is holding up in this weather? and if she will have one of those 'orange spray tans' for Boston Marathon Monday!
I finally have camera working but too dark to photo your adorable treasures you sent me.I just love gazing and daydreaming with them the clothespin gals are magical and great company! good thing pinkettes understand what I am talking about..Im not crazy!!
I was so excited that you came and spent some time in the sunny spot with me! Wow! That was a fun shock of joy. =]
I was thinking about it. Do you know "Curlew Country" blogspot? I think that you would LOVE it. She's in England and is the first real blog that I'd seen. Actually, she was my inspiration for starting to blog. She has a lovely Cottage feel and I just think that you two are such a similar match.
BTW our puppies are here! Hooray!
Love, Katy
Elyse! I just bought the May Issue of Romantic Homes and THERE YOU WERE!!!!! Congratulations! Very cute article!!!
Hugs! Karne
I am SO digging those polka dots. Love love love how it all looks esp with the bottles and flowers. Wowzers. And I'm not even a cottagey type chick.
I'm more Mr T style!
I love your re-do. The reds and white are so perfect together. Very charming.
