My brother and his family from Germany came to visit and we used to spend about 4 weeks together each summer when they would visit and stay with us at our old house. Our kids haven’t seen much of them, so, of course, we asked them to come with their partners for the weekend. MyContinue reading “Making a HUGE table for a crowd”

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”
Flowers from the Garden
I had some pretty flowers blooming so I did a big arrangement for my counter. I used pink astilbe, the flowers from my chartreuse heuchera, liatris, oregano stems, hosta flowers, gladiolus, some dahlias, some lunaria that has gone to seed, some nigella that has gone to seed, and some of the Persian cress that IContinue reading “Flowers from the Garden”
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”
Garden Party Table
I have some gorgeous Royal Stafford dinner plates–Sketchbook–right now until I sell them, and they were the jumping off point for this table. I started with a beautiful appliqued table runner in a great green color. I bought flowers at Trader Joe’s in the same colors as are on the plates and arranged them inContinue reading “Garden Party Table”
