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?”

War Eagle!

This is a tablescape that envisions an afternoon spent watching the Auburn Tigers. I used my blue and orange Fiestaware, navy napkins and tablecloth, and orange flowers. College Football season is in full swing! How’s your team doing?

Pasta? Yes, please!

I found these fantastic Marisol pasta bowls from Williams Sonoma at the thrift store and they have my favorite color combination, so I put together a table. I started with a white cloth and a great runner with all the blues, greens, and yellows which work so beautifully with the pasta bowls. I put aContinue reading “Pasta? Yes, please!”

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”

Bold and Beautiful Blue and White

I bought these Dansk Arabesque salad plates a few months back and I LOVE them. They are so bold and the blue is just gorgeous. When I got them, I went on ebay to find some equally bold graphic napkins and found some really great ones from Williams-Sonoma. Then, while I was thrifting with aContinue reading “Bold and Beautiful Blue and White”

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”
