Spring Tablescape Part I
......................................
I couldn't wait to share this project with you!

Funny thing is, it actually didn't start out as a project at all! I was just setting up a fun little table for Greg & I to have breakfast at a few weekends ago, and I really loved how cheerful it was. Leila stopped by & thought it was so sweet, so we decided to have a lovely & impromptu photo shoot! 

 

The overall look was casual & vintage-inspired. I used a plank of wood topped with vintage books as a table runner, tea towels from Ikea as placemats, charming patterned plates from Anthropologie, along with antique napkins and silverware.



Tulips and ranunculus are perfect for a sunny springtime wedding or event!

 
  

The delightful yellow basket was a steal at Home Goods. I loved the industrial element that it added. You'll be seeing more of this basket, along with a few others in the shoot I'm working on this Sunday! 

 

All photos by Olive Juice Photo. Head over to her blog to see even more! Part II to come tomorrow!

I knew when I saw those plates on Leila's blog that they had to be Anthro. Your runner idea is so unique and so sweet to me. And that little bottle of pink? Love.

these are gorgeous! i can't believe you make table settings like that for just you & your husband. i wish you were my roommate, or mom, or sister!

Dandelion and Grey said...

Thank you all so much for the sweet comments!

I'm kind of funny like that & truly enjoy the art of setting a table. I could spend a ridiculous amount of time moving things around, adding and subtracting design elements and seeing what works. Aaaaand I love every minute of it!!

Can't wait to share Part II! xo

Viagra is now known that ED is not caused by simple failure on the part of men, but usually involves other health issues. Viagra online can be caused by high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, and diabetes. It is also a by-product of heavy smoking in some men. Generic Cialis does not treat any of these health problems, but does treat the ED that is often associated with them.
