My SIL and a good friend of mine were hosting a supper club dinner and my SIL asked if I could help. I sent her some photos of things that I had, and we settled on a blue/yellow or gold/white theme with lemons. I had just found a great deal on some Villeroy and BochContinue reading “An Italian Table”

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”
A tablescape made to look at through rose colored glasses
The flowers that I used for a large bouquet on our peninsula when we had everyone in for the weekend inspired this tablescape. I took the flowers that were still in good shape and placed them in a couple of yellow containers by Southern Living. There weren’t quite enough to fill both containers, so IContinue reading “A tablescape made to look at through rose colored glasses”
A Fun Table for Friends in for the Weekend
My college friends and their spouses came in for the weekend. Both of the women love dishes and glassware as much as I do, so this was an opportunity to do something special. The new cushions for the chairs were the jumping off point from a color standpoint. I used a light tablecloth that hadContinue reading “A Fun Table for Friends in for the Weekend”
Led by Linens
I let the linens be the inspiration for this table–blues, greens and yellows. The napkins are from Williams Sonoma and I bought the runner years ago at Home Goods. I put white mums in some of my blue pitchers for the centerpiece. The place settings are yellow Fiestaware dinner plates with a Villeroy and BochContinue reading “Led by Linens”
A Tisket A Tasket A Green and Yellow Basket
The jumping off point for this table was a beautiful handmade stave basket that I found in a thrift shop in Atlanta for $12–unbelievable. Aldi had bunches of tulips for $4/10 tulips, so I bought 4 bunches. I put 5 wide mouth pint jars filled with water in the basket and arranged the tulips inContinue reading “A Tisket A Tasket A Green and Yellow Basket”
A Very Mod Table for Easter/Spring
I teased a few weeks ago about some items that I was getting for the house that I would show later. Well, it’s later. I love our dining room chairs–arrow back cherry chairs from outside Lexington, KY–but they are not comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I have recently learned about performanceContinue reading “A Very Mod Table for Easter/Spring”
The Easter Table
We are having Easter dinner at my husband’s father’s house. I went over early to set up the table with my SIL. We combined forces to come up with this one. To start the table, I brought my concrete bunny from the garden that my husband gave me as an anniversary gift a LONG timeContinue reading “The Easter Table”
Surrealist Table
I found the centerpiece bowl by Anthropologie at a consignment store and I thought she was really funny and I had found the salad plates at a thrift store several weeks ago, so it was time to make a table out of them. I started with a natural linen cloth and added the centerpiece bowlContinue reading “Surrealist Table”
Simply Elegant Easter Brunch Table
I love this table–the beautiful cyclamen in the tureen (Pfaltzgraff), the gorgeous salad plates (Villeroy and Boch Summerhouse), fantastic glassware (Fostoria American Brilliant footed iced tea glasses, Anchor Hocking Wexford goblets and Indiana Glass Colony Park Lane tall sherbets), the tiny bunny placecard holders (Williams Sonoma), the embroidered tablecloth (Vintage), and the sweet pewter lookContinue reading “Simply Elegant Easter Brunch Table”
