I went to a local PBS fundraiser with a friend to listen to the host of Life in Bloom, J Schwanke. He spoke about the show and upcoming episodes and made about 10 arrangements while he talked. It was really inspiring. At the end of the program, they announced that the centerpieces on the tablesContinue reading “Fun Floral inspires table”

Trying a Terrarium
I found some big glass canisters at the thrift store and I’ve been dying to try making a terrarium. Of course I googled how to do it. I followed their advice and here are the steps: Start with a Large Glass Container. Add gravel to the bottom of the container to keep the plant rootsContinue reading “Trying a Terrarium”
Garden Party Table
I have some gorgeous Royal Stafford dinner plates–Sketchbook–right now until I sell them, and they were the jumping off point for this table. I started with a beautiful appliqued table runner in a great green color. I bought flowers at Trader Joe’s in the same colors as are on the plates and arranged them inContinue reading “Garden Party Table”
Fun and Fresh Thanksgiving
I have a set of Villeroy and Boch Albertina salad plates and they were the inspiration for this table–they have paler versions of all the traditional Thanksgiving colors. They have a blue band on the rim, so I used blue pitchers, a blue covered casserole and a blue canister. I purchased flowers from Trader Joe’sContinue reading “Fun and Fresh Thanksgiving”
Fall for Owls
I found these owls during my thrifting trip to Atlanta and I think that they’re just great, so I built a tablescape around them. I used a white cloth and a jute runner and added a vase of dried lunaria, natural bowl fillers from my office, little wooden boxes from around the house, a woodenContinue reading “Fall for Owls”
Painterly Place Settings
I found some great salad plates in the pattern Vincent by Sakura which inspired this table. I used Ballard Designs for Southern Living Putty colored dinner plates with the Vincent salad plates, Lenox brown water glasses, and stained glass wine glasses. I added some art books, orange flowers, and containers with paint brushes. It’s soContinue reading “Painterly Place Settings”
Garden Table Version 2.0
Here’s another version of the garden table with more pink in it thanks to the darling Villeroy and Boch Perugia cream soup bowls. I used Oneidacraft Weave dinner plates and Noritake Sweet Swirl light green iced tea glasses. I think it’s awfully cute.
Feeling Froggy–Table Decor
When our friends were in town a few weeks back, I put together this super cute frog inspired table. I started with this printed tablecloth in greens, yellows and blue on a cream background. Then I added a green pitcher filled with yellow and white flowers; a yellow container with flowers and a vintage frogContinue reading “Feeling Froggy–Table Decor”
Bright and Cheerful Table
My zinnias are going absolutely crazy and providing great cover for my sweet potato vines. There are TONS of yellow and orange zinnias in the mix, so I created this table to use them. I found a pale yellow Southern Living brand flower arranging container (the lid has holes in it to hold the stems)Continue reading “Bright and Cheerful Table”
Lunaria Wreath–Use What You Have Decor
If you have been following along, you saw my post about the lunaria volunteers that I have growing at the edge of our yard and around the compost pile. We really have a LOT of it, so I decided to make a wreath out of them which will mimic the eucalyptus wreaths you see everywhere.Continue reading “Lunaria Wreath–Use What You Have Decor”
