Twenty Four Days of Tablescapes – Day 14
This tablescape was the result of an event I hosted when I was a spokesperson for Sunkist Citrus. We had a mother’s brunch and made traditional pomanders. I love to use pinks and minty shades of green at Christmastime mixed with traditional bright and cheery reds and greens. My ever-growing collection of bottle brush trees…

This tablescape was created by my mother for our Christmas Day luncheon last year. She has been collecting Tiffany’s Christmas Garland for many years and I love it when she pulls it out in December. Her long lasting centerpiece is the perfect complement to this gorgeous porcelain and stays out all month long!

Hosting family for Christmas Eve Supper after attending a candlelight service is one of my favorite things to do. Last year’s celebrations looked a little bit different but I still set a Christmas table. Using my wedding china, Herend’s Chinese Bouquet in Rust, Royal Stemware by Moser, a light grey Savanah Gardens tablecloth and…

Today’s Tablescape is for the little ones! These photos are from the gingerbread house decorating party that my daughter, Millie, hosted for her friends a few years ago. The sweet little aprons were from a fabulous Etsy maker and they served as the party favors for each of the little guests. Oh what fun! Click…

Today’s tablescape came to mind because our friends at Mottahedeh featured this detail shot on their instagram page today. I styled this place setting in May of this year in preparation for our Christmas in July features for ShopKSW.com. Our popular wipe-clean placemats in green made a great base for our Sacred Bird and Butterfly…

Famille Verte is a popular pattern with a rich history. Click here to learn more about it. It is known as a spring pattern but I love it paired with tartans, jolly reds and rich greens around the holidays. Our wipe-clean linen placemats are so popular for both their elegant look and their practicality.

I had the vision for this table when Caroline’s Cakes asked me to be a part of their Holiday collaborations. I didn’t realize how tricky it was going to be to get the ribbons right though! It took a yard stick, a box or strait pins and loads of patience to get this right! I…

I created this tablescape last Christmas for a collaboration with Meri Meri. I used their wonderful wooden advent calendar pieces in the center of the table, their “crackers” at each place setting and their charming nutcracker gift tags as place cards tied to each napkin. It was so much fun to fill the center…

I have always loved mixing and matching China patterns. This table is a great example of that. I used Herend Rust Bouquet tureens to hold flowers in the center of the table and layered Bernadaud Chargers, Herend’s Livia Dinner Plates and Rust Bouquet Crescent Salad Plates. The crystal is one of my favorite patterns, Royal…
