Proud as a Peacock
I usually enjoy my Christmas decor for an additional week after the New Year and then take it all down. I then decorate for our annual February formal dinner party. Each year I choose a country to focus the theme on their Mardi Gras traditions, food, wine, and music. For an example, see my previous… Continue reading Proud as a Peacock

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
