When It Comes To Entertaining And Setting Your Table, It Always Starts With The First Spark Of Inspiration.
Perhaps it’s the actual event, or a type of food, or maybe your favorite table top or flower. For fall this year, I was inspired by a friend’s dining room. Different tones of blue imbue the room and I was caught by the idea of sapphire and other jewel tones for fall. Blue glasses are chosen to go with classic white patterned plates. Gold highlights are added in with the placemats, the stitching on the napkins and a beautiful vessel to go in the center of the table for the flowers. Rich hues of orange, pink, yellow, purple and green make up the bouquet. A lighter shade of blue candelabra sits on a sideboard under a magnificent painting alongside a more simple arrangement of blooms. While the room is light and airy, the richness of the colors harkens to all things autumn.

Snuggle Up In The Banquette, Have A Little Candy, Ice Some Sugar Cookies And Settle In For A Bright Take On The Christmas Table.
While the standby red and green can seem like heavy colors, I was inspired to go traditional by the gorgeous kelly green drum chandelier. Paired with some Christmas china, glass pedestal candy dishes (complete with candy, of course) and a bowl full of flowers – the more unusual the better – you are set. The simplicity of sleek gold flatware and crisp, white napkins are the remaining pieces of the puzzle. Keeping it simple not only gives the traditional colors a more modern feel, it’s also sure to create a merry and bright atmosphere!
