Star Spangled Tablesetting

Who doesn’t love The 4th of July? Picnics, parties and fireworks. Forget the paper plates and plastic forks. Be kind to the environment and easy on your wallet and set a patriotic table with found objects. Decorating with red, white and blue is easy.

Easter Table Setting in Blue and Orange

March 30, 2015 By Merri Cvetan Leave a Comment

This year I decided to do something totally different with my Easter table setting. Forget the traditional spring colors of pink and green, I chose the unexpected combination of blue and orange. It all started with my love affair with shades of indigo and the lovely eggs I dyed with red cabbage. (See how I did it.) I haven't use my pretty … [Read more...]

February 12, 2015 By Merri Cvetan Leave a Comment

Last summer we painted our exterior doors a lovely raspberry color. The colonial blue wood siding and white trim is perfect for our 1890s farm house.
