We will be hosting a Party to celebrate the birthdays of our son and daughter-in-law. They created the guest list and my husband & I along with my parents (both great cooks) will provide the dinner and service restaurant style!

POP of Color
The beauty of decorating with Black & White (see previous article) is the ease of changing the look with a POP of Color. It is as simple as changing out the napkin! For Mother’s Day, I exchanged the black napkins with a fuchsia pink. What a beautiful transformation! The color will change again for a… Continue reading POP of Color
Black & White
We are hosting a dinner for our son and his wife with their guests next month. I wanted it to feel different than our usual decor and thought a Black & White theme would be fun. When designing the look in my mind, I wanted a simple and more modern look, so I chose big… Continue reading Black & White
Easter
To Christians, Easter season is the remembrance of the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Christ. After the season of Lent, commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, Christians recognize Palm Sunday and Easter. It is complicated to determine which Sunday Easter takes place each year. I found this article to be informative.… Continue reading Easter

This year I wanted the color to evoke a rich, elegant,… Continue reading I’ll have a Blue Christmas Part 1

Large floral arrangements will flank the dining room fireplace, bringing the tree decor theme into this room.… Continue reading Christmas Prep
Variations on a Theme
For my Fall into this Dining Room post, I focused on the tablescape – floral and decor theme. You can choose different color napkins or placement with various folds to create different emphasis. You may not have specialty themed dinnerware, flatware or glassware, so I thought I would show some variations on the theme. The… Continue reading Variations on a Theme
Building a Floral Inventory
My floral inventory for seasonally themed decor didn’t happen over night. With each season and over the years, I have added where needed. Sometimes, I even need to purge and replace. Quality My overall goal, when combing the basic elements and focal floral stems, is to achieve an elevated look. When it comes to florals,… Continue reading Building a Floral Inventory
