My subscription flowers had a bunch of pinks and oranges in them this week, and I bought a few more flowers at the grocery to fill out the bouquet. It’s definitely feeling more like fall, so I also wanted to use some of my fall decor so I pulled out my owl and shaved woodContinue reading “Subscription Flowers Set the Mood”

Artisans Abound
I found a FANTASTIC lidded pot at the thrift store and it was the inspiration for this table. I re-used the dishes and table runner from my previous table and swapped the flora and fauna for handmade items from around the house–a collection of pottery and wooden boxes and bowl. The place setting is DanskContinue reading “Artisans Abound”
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”
Spooky Halloween Table
I found a bunch of pieces of Independence “Millbrook” dishes at a couple of stores and somehow, the pattern reminds me of Tim Burton’s work, so of course I had to do a Halloween table with them. I started with a white tablecloth and a pretty fall shawl with lots of Halloween colors in it.Continue reading “Spooky Halloween Table”
Flora and Fauna
I started this table with a table runner with lots of browns, tans, etc. in it. I added the fish sculpture by Carolyn Kinder and then some natural items–some fungus, a bird’s nest in a copper compote, some driftwood, a box turtle shell, an elk’s antler, and a notebook. The place settings are Dansk FlamestoneContinue reading “Flora and Fauna”
An Anniversary Party
I started this table thinking it would be an ode to artists, but then it was all about our family, so I added some photos and pivoted to an anniversary celebration. I started with 2 caricatures, then some Russian nesting dolls of our family, a ceramic bust of a man that reminds me of myContinue reading “An Anniversary Party”
It’s SO easy being green
I don’t know if I have written it before, but my very favorite color is green and so I have quite a few decorative items that are green. That was my inspiration for this table–and I didn’t even use all the stuff I have. I started with a natural linen cloth and lined up theContinue reading “It’s SO easy being green”
I’ve got the blues…and greens
I found these great Villeroy and Boch Costa Salad plates on one of my thrifting trips and I thought they would make a great jumping off point for a table. I started with a blue runner and then used green vases and pitchers filled with white flowers. This ended up looking a little more formalContinue reading “I’ve got the blues…and greens”
Blue and Yellow Beauty
I found this gorgeous multi-server piece while I was in ATL and thought all along that it would make a great foundation for a tablescape. I put a navy and white patterned cloth down first, and then the server, Dansk Christianshavn Blue serving bowl full of lemons, a yellow Fiestaware pitcher, a small blue andContinue reading “Blue and Yellow Beauty”
How about salad for dinner?
This table envisions a meal of individual chef salads made by each guest. This table utilizes Villeroy and Boch Perugia Bowls on Fiestaware Plates and Villeroy and Boch Alea Caro bread and butter plates. I used blue pitchers and orange flowers on a blue runner which repeat the colors in the bowls. We do aContinue reading “How about salad for dinner?”
