Pretty Primary Table

I started with this pretty tablecloth and pulled colors from it for the rest of the elements–yellow Fiestaware plates, Pfaltzgraff Rio salad plates, red flowers, yellow containers, and napkins with all the colors in them.

Game Night

I found this giant set of dominoes at the consignment store, and I love jars of scrabble tiles (along with upwords, and boggle), so that was the jumping off point for this table. I love using apothecary style jars in tablescapes. I thrifted all the decorations for this table.

Bon Voyage

I found the cutest mini-globes that are meant to hang up and those were the inspiration for this travel table. I added some books about various places, binoculars, and old cameras. I used Johnson Brothers Athena dinner plates, and Pottery Barn Ava salad plates, Libbey Gibraltar water goblets, and Libbey footed coolers. This kind ofContinue reading “Bon Voyage”

Tomato Pie

This is a dish that we like really well, but there are some issues with it that I think that I have finally solved. But first, a word about tomatoes.

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.

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.

Garden Inspired Table

The idea for this table sort of popped into my head the other day, so I made it a reality. I’m going to post another variation of this same theme, but with more pink in it.

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”
