My SIL and a good friend of mine were hosting a supper club dinner and my SIL asked if I could help. I sent her some photos of things that I had, and we settled on a blue/yellow or gold/white theme with lemons. I had just found a great deal on some Villeroy and BochContinue reading “An Italian Table”

Pears and Roses inspire a table
I found the most gorgeous bunch of roses at Costco the last time I went–they were all sunset colors. When I got them home, I realized that they matched the pears I had ripening on the counter. I started the table with an unbleached linen tablecloth; three white pitchers filled with the roses; faux eucalyptusContinue reading “Pears and Roses inspire a table”
A tablescape made to look at through rose colored glasses
The flowers that I used for a large bouquet on our peninsula when we had everyone in for the weekend inspired this tablescape. I took the flowers that were still in good shape and placed them in a couple of yellow containers by Southern Living. There weren’t quite enough to fill both containers, so IContinue reading “A tablescape made to look at through rose colored glasses”
Making a HUGE table for a crowd
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”
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”
