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”

Wine Tasting Dinner

I found a set of Herend Village Pottery “Vineyard” dishes at a local antique store that has really good prices. I don’t think that these dishes have ever been used–they are in nearly mint condition. Given the name of the pattern, doing a wine tasting dinner with various wines and wine labels and some candleContinue reading “Wine Tasting Dinner”

Child’s Birthday Party

I found these super adorable dinner plates by Gibson–4 at one thrift store and 2 at another thrift store while I was in Atlanta. The blue in the bands is PERFECT with my Fiestaware Lapis bowls. I did tumblers instead of stemware–the larger tumbler is by Duralex, and the smaller tumbler is by Pasabahce. ForContinue reading “Child’s Birthday Party”

Welcome to the 90’s

I found this set of Sango Flair dishes at the thrift store, and then found the water glasses at a consignment shop in Atlanta. I decided to do a 90’s throwback look. I did handblown glass balls in a large silver bowl as a centerpiece because they mirror the colors in the glasses and theContinue reading “Welcome to the 90’s”

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.

Garden Inspired Table

The idea for this table sort of popped into my head the other day, so I made it a reality. I’m going to post another variation of this same theme, but with more pink in it.
