Pretty in Pink

I have found in doing these tables, that I have very little in the way of pink anything to do tablescapes. I found these gorgeous Villeroy and Boch Summerhouse Rose salad plates for a great price on ebay, so I got them. (If you haven’t guessed, Villeroy and Boch is my very favorite maker–high quality,Continue reading “Pretty in Pink”

Mostly Millefiori

I found a GORGEOUS millefiori pitcher while I was in Atlanta and I also have some millefiori tumblers which was the jumping off point for this table. I started the table with a really neat linen cloth that has abstract flowers in the same colors as the bread/dessert/canape plates that I am using. The glassesContinue reading “Mostly Millefiori”

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”

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”

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.

Citrus Inspired Table

I found a set of 7 Dansk “Lemon Zest” plates at a thrift store for $6 TOTAL. I think that this is a really fantastic pattern, so I found one more on Replacements.com and bought it so that I would have 8 dinner plates. This is a funny pattern because what looks like orange orContinue reading “Citrus Inspired Table”

The Ancient Basement–All the Stone is UP

Oh my goodness. This was so much work! We got a little momentum going from finishing the platform under the stove, but then it was time for the walls of the closets and the wall behind the stove. First things first, we put down Ram board to protect the floor of the platform from strayContinue reading “The Ancient Basement–All the Stone is UP”
