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?”

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”
