For Your Tablescape Enjoyement......

Today I am sharing some inspiration photos I have collected. I am feeling a bit under the weather and although I gathered all the elements I wanted to use for my table out yesterday, today I just didn't have the energy to pull it off. No fear the tables I am about to share are fabulous and I could never come close to them. Enjoy. Above is one of my all time favorites. I drool over the center piece and I am always a sucker for blue and yellow no matter where it appears. I found it interesting how they added the mini topiaries on the corners of this table.

I love the pewter bamboo flatware. I also love the little porcelain lemons. I just want to be sitting in that garden at this table, don't you?



This table was titled the Palm Beach Table. I always love natural elements like lemons and limes in arrangements.


Hydrangeas and Spode Blue Room.....classic and in my book always a good choice!





Do you see the dragonfly engraved into the silver dish the hydrangeas are in? I wish I could see more of that piece.




A red and white table is always nice. Look how they have complimented the red and white by adding an orange floral arrangement to the mix. Unexpected but turns this setting into a work of sophistication.









Do you notice the oranges used as place card holders? Fun idea! Adding a wide gross grain ribbon to your plain white table cloths can change them into WOW!






There is something about the yellow window panels in this photo that takes me in. Really I am more interested in them than I am the table LOL! Yellow has a way of doing that to a room! This table is very vibrant due to the yellow daffodils and yet serene all at the same time.










I love how they added the small pots of green flowers next to the large pots of Daffodils. The natural elements of bamboo flat wear, woven place mats and shells and coral strewn about the table make it feel relaxing and serene. They even wrapped some jute around the pots! Hope you enjoyed this virtual tour of five very different tablescapes. For some more table eye candy be sure to visit Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch by clicking here

  22. Hello, I always have serious envy when I see those white swirly metal chairs. Then I read that they are not yours. Good thing too I was about to grab the truck and head your way!
