We had a post on a really neutral look, so here’s one that is at the other end of the spectrum…. I added a colorful turkey to the display along with vases of orange flowers. The place settings are Ballard Designs for Southern Living Putty colored dinner plates, Sakura Vincent salad plates, Lenox brown waterContinue reading “Colorful Thanksgiving”

Naturally Neutral Thanksgiving
This is a low key version of a Thanksgiving table that avoids all the vivid orange, red, and yellow. I set 3 log slices down the center of the table and on those, I put a gray vase of dried lunaria that I picked back in the summer, and two wood look turkeys. The placesContinue reading “Naturally Neutral Thanksgiving”
Child’s Halloween Party
For this table I started with orange, acid green, and purple Fiestaware plates–because I have them and they’re really durable, so great for kids. I used my Vintage Annalee pumpkin and mice and sprinkled in some orange and green wooden toy beads and some honeycomb balls in orange and green. I added a metal jack-o-lanternContinue reading “Child’s Halloween Party”
I Love Laveno
I found these Richard Ginori luncheon plates at the thrift store and I think that they’re great. The centerpiece bowl and the plates were the jumping off point for this table which is similar to the Surrealist table I did, but a little toned down, and way more Italian. I started with a natural linenContinue reading “I Love Laveno”
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”
Subscription Flowers Set the Mood
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”
