Last Saturday someone came to look at our house since it is up for sale. We cleaned the house from top to bottom and I decided to set our breakfast table since the tabletop is in need of refinishing and I don't really have a centerpiece for it.
I liked the table set so much that it is still set. Today, I decided to change it up a bit because I had some new things. I used my everyday dishes which are Mikasa, Italian Countryside.
Yesterday I found these cute little birdies while we were shopping in Blowing Rock. I found the green table runner at HomeGoods last week. I had totally forgotten about this urn and found it in the cabinet where I keep all of my vases.
I love these plants. I'm not sure what kind they are, but they hardly ever need watering and don't droop when they do.
My husband brought me some pretty flowers last week.
I wasn't sure if it would look better with out the plants. I like it both ways.
I took some burlap & hot glued it to the outside of the glass candle holder
Looks more like an Easter or Spring table, but I still like it better than a plain table that needs refinishing! Don't you think?
Hope you all have had a wonderful day!

Looks wonderful Pam! I like the table runner and your centerpieces. I especially like the small candle holders with burlap. I was just thinking about getting some this week to put twine around but I love the burlap look too! Hmmm! Still working on my tablescape this week, will be posting it soon. Don't you just love have a great reason to set the table. Yours is beautiful!
ReplyDeletePam, I love green and white together and this table setting looks stunning. I love it either way. Love the burlap wrapped candle votives.

So pretty! I just love a green and white table. It is so refreshing for spring or summer. Your little birdies are so sweet. Great idea with the burlap wrapped candle holders. I have some old ones and that technique would just freshen them up.

Pam,
ReplyDeleteThe color, warmth and artful layers make this such a lovely focal point! You are smart to set this and keep it set while you are trying to sell your house.
I love your homegoods finds! I am a huge fan of homegoods~ great buys.
The creative burlap candles are one I will try. They give a beautiful texture to your table.
I hope you gave your husband an extra kiss for those pretty flowers.
So wonderful to stop by!

Just lovely and appealing, your colour choice is very refereshing Pam... Love the Urn very much. its simply gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteThe plant you used are Spider Plant and they are very good in reducing indoor air pollution.I also have many pots of those.
Beautiful fresh table! I love the green, white, and pink colors scheme. Very inviting.
ReplyDeleteLove those roosters! What is it about roosters that we all love so much? Is it their attitude? They just strut around with so much confidence. You inspire me with your spray paint colors!
ReplyDeleteHopped here from Somewhat Simple . . .
ReplyDeleteLOVE your tablescape! My kitchen is pretty much the same colour as yours, and for some reason I've never thought to use that pretty colour of green as an accent. I think it's perfectly summery -- and we need to hang on to summer for as long as we can! :)
I also love the burlap on the candleholders :)
Beautiful! The flowers are the perfect touch, but the chairs add so much beauty to the space that it looks great every day too!
ReplyDeletethe table scape adds so much to the room and helps to create the inviting atmosphere that is so crucial to selling a house.. It's very pretty and I love that table runner and the birdies..
ReplyDeleteHi Pam!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty, light and airy tablescape...perfect for those steamy summer days! The colors are so fresh and cool feeling!
Have a beautiful day!

They probably made an offer on the house, and they for certain hoped to be invited to dinner at your lovely table. The burlap on the votive holders is a great idea. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteVisiting from My Romantic Home. Great idea! Beautiful table. Hope your house sells quickly.
ReplyDeleteYAY! So glad you linked up! This is gorgeous - and I told you earlier today that I LOVE LOVE LOVE those birds! Thanks so much for making Vignette Friday's more fun this week! Hope you'll join us every week! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully fresh table...love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...love the colors!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam! I found you through Artie's Friday Vignettes - Your table is summer at its finest. All the greens and garden elements with the urn and the sweet birds - love those birds! Breakfast at your table would be an enormous treat. I could linger there all day!

Hi there! This is Megan from Mikasa. We love that you incorporating your everyday dinnerware - Italian Countryside - into such a beautiful tablescape. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou were very clever, creating a tablescape while your house is up for sale. Wished I'd known about tablescapes back in 2005 when we had our house up for sale. What would I have done for the month of January? Snowflakes? The realtor asked for pictures of our flowerbeds in bloom and people looked at them and asked if those flowers really under all that snow?
ReplyDeleteAre you changing the tablescape occassionally or keeping the same one? Good Luck; hope you make buyers realize how their table can look when they are entertaining. Hope you get a good offer soon!
