Clove balls are great too! Punch cloves into an orange or lemon - and glue a ribbon to hang it! There is a great picture of a minimal clove ball on the back of a chair here (http://olivesanddaisies.blogspot.com/2010/11/farmers-market-thanksgiving-table.html)

I like just a simple arrangement in the middle of the table, some of these are so full that you would not be able to see the person sitting across from you! I just planed paperwhites (so they will be ready for Christmas) and am going to use those as my holiday table decor! Which is Your Table Setting Style? |

I went back and forth about getting the ikea cabinets, and one of the pros was the dividers and such items they sell but I ended up painting the cabinets I have and putting on new countertops etc. But one new thing in my kitchen I LOVE is a put a lamp in the corner...to add more light check it out here Kitchen Tour: Lupine & Dan's Joyful, Organized Kitchen |

We had a similar looking kitchen and debated about waiting and getting new cabinets or painting the ones we have, and we ended up painting them white, removing some of the uppers and putting up stainless steel shelves, but what we did do is have all the doors re-made, they look SO much better and more modern; and they used hidden hinges (because I hated the exposed ones - that I notice you have too) and I also turned an area with two large cabinet doors under my cooktop into big pull outs...We also used butcher block countertops from lumber liquidators - they were more than the ones from Ikea but they were still cheaper then any other option. I am so happy with they way it looks! We really did not want to go through a long, expensive kitchen remodel and this was the perfect compromise. Should I Paint My Dark Kitchen Cabinets?
