Tickle Mom Pink!

Tickle Mom Pink!

I always serve brunch on Mother’s Day for my Mom and Mother-in-law.  This year, I plan to set a very girly table. Shades of pink, lots of bling and pearls. A few weeks ago, I started looking for vintage dinner plates with a floral design in pink.  Design Tip: It doesn’t matter if all your dishes match, as long as you choose a theme.  In this … [Read more...]

Retro Chic Christmas Tablesetting

With Christmas just a few days away, it’s not too late to think about setting a beautiful table.  Pull out what you have on hand then add a few vintage pieces for a charming Christmas table.   I started with a retro holiday table cloth.  It doesn’t matter if there are a few stains, they’ll be covered up!  Add bright red chargers.   I'm … [Read more...]

Father’s Day Dining Delight

Pamper Dad on Sunday with a meal prepared just for him.  Or, if Dad likes to do the cooking or grilling, set a fabulous table and take care of the clean-up. The beauty of setting a memorable table is you don't have to match it to the interior decor of the house.  Chose a theme and run with it. For Father's Day earth tones and rustic elements are … [Read more...]

Set For Spring~ Happy Mother’s Day!

If your Mom isn't the breakfast-in-bed type, treat her to a family dinner complete with a lovely table setting. Pink may be for girls, but it gets an updated look when paired with unique black accessories. Shawls and scarves make great table covers or runners. I like the contrast of new black chargers with the vintage pink dinner … [Read more...]
