Well friends, now that Halloween has passed and it’s November 1st, it’s officially Thanksgiving season!
If that means you’re starting to stress about people coming to your house (and maybe THAT LOOK from your cousin when you pull out the same ol’ stained napkins from last year) then keep in mind that you have until November 10th to secure my services to whip together a Thanksgiving tabletop that will have everyone oohing and aahing.
In fact, my ...
With just over a month to go until wedding day, I’ve been spending much more time fretting over seating arrangements than tablescapes. In fact, I’m in Seattle for a last bout of planning! However, today my husband-to-be and I have been together for six years, and I’ve been reminiscing about some of our memorable moments. Adam took me to a Japanese restaurant for one of our first dates… which might have been wonderfully romantic, if ...
Note: Name of this series has changed! The pictures are still as lovely as ever, though!
I had a birthday last week, and a very sweet friend brought me a bouquet of sunflowers (just the thing to brighten the transition into my late twenties, right?).
They were a happy addition to my decor, but eventually the stems wilted and they could hardly hold their pretty heads up. The flowers were still so vibrant that it seemed a ...
Last week I showed you how I tablescape for those times when there’s nothing on the calendar. But, what do you know… I found myself hosting a little dinner party after all! Here’s how my tabletop made the transition from “everyday” to “special occasion.”
The simple shine of my glass bottle collection was beautiful, but I had to cut down on clutter to make room for our culinary presentations. I selected a variety of laboratory glassware, some ...
I don’t have parties to tablescape for every night, but there’s something sad and unfulfilled about an empty tabletop. How do you decorate your table for… no occasion at all?
An assortment of glass bottles makes for an easy but stunning centerpiece, catching light and casting sparkles. Best of all, it’s easy to dress up should you make last minute dinner plans. The array of vessels will look even more lovely with a few blooms- and ...
My brother goes to my parents’ house to raid the refrigerator, but I go to raid the china cabinet. Playing dress-up with my Mom’s tabletop is one of the pleasures of coming home to Seattle!
When I visited this week, I found the table decorated with a leafy runner and a flower-shaped bowl with purple petals. It seeded an idea for a summer supper setting.
Glasses with etched vertical lines recall the spindled ...
As part of the site redesign, I’m welcoming two (possibly three) new regular contributors. Tuesday we heard from Katherine, today we hear from Elizabeth who will be sharing tablescaping and entertaining inspiration! Let’s give her a warm welcome!
Overcast skies certainly put a damper on summertime fun. A little imagination helps. Ah, yes- my hair is soaked because I just got caught in a torrential downpour stepped out of the pool! I’m going to need an ...
