Summertime: Tablescape

Greetings Friends! Today's Summertime feature is one for indoors. As temperatures rise don't you just want to keep everything from your clothes to your decor light and breezy?

I will keep this fresh setting through the summer and Labor Day. Follow along for inspiration for your next jaunt to the thrift store...

Romantic Floral Tablescape

Hello, Friends! I don't know about you, but my mood can be greatly influenced by my surroundings--this is particularly the case during the winter months. I think this is one of the reasons decorating my home is such a priority. I love walking into a cheerful kitchen, especially since it is the first thing to greet me when I come home. One of the ways I create this feeling is by changing out my Vintage table cloths. When I spotted this one, I was instantly smitten with its combination of crisp stripes and pretty florals. After it was time to put away my Christmas cloth, I couldn't wait to get this one on the table. As anticipated, it instantly brightened my spirits--like having a rose garden in my kitchen!

I am hoping to feature them in my next holiday tablescape but they will be versatile for any season; rustic or elegant.

DIY: Rustic Chargers and Glamorous Gourds!

Greetings Friends! I cannot believe we are officially half way through September! I will be setting my table for Fall soon and plan to include a few DIY projects I have been wanting to try. You know I love me some chalkboard paint, so when I saw rustic chalkboard charger plates at a local shop that were as pricey as they were cute, I knew I would have to try my own version! I started collecting mismatched chargers from thrift stores, paying .25 to .75 a plate.
