Time for a spring setting! No matter the temperature, we are ready for spring colors and a change from winter. Whether you are having a breakfast casserole or ham with scalloped potatoes (poblano chilies added) and carrot cake, the beautiful table awaits!

Pull it all together with color. The French tablecloth is an old favorite and the lavender in it is the most popular spring color. The bunny plates are whimsical. I mixed two styles. The hand-blown glass balls that are always on the table were added to a basket with lavender grass underneath  Battery-operated lights were added to the top of the arrangement along with multicolored ribbon. The ring of colored eggs, gold-washed eggs and small baskets of eggs fill the space. The floral napkins repeat the color of everything. Ribbon added to each napkin ring repeat the color scheme. Some of the rings were made from leftover garland from an earlier project. Hand painted glasses and individual flower vases complete the festive look!

Pick up a few new things and add to the old for a fresh new look!  Have a great holiday!

We made it through the holidays! This year we had time to sort and showcase our decorations to their best advantage, eliminate dated or tired items and maybe add something new.

So now red can stay out (my favorite color).  Eliminate the holiday decor but leave the candles and basics that will transition to Valentine’s Day and gradually add hearts! You don’t have to work so hard to put everything away at once. Enjoy all things red for December, January and February! Set a special place for coffee or tea while you have time to get out your favorites!

Baby it’s cold outside so it’s a great time to utilize your holiday decor as you transition from Christmas to New Year’s! Silver and glittery is perfect for a festive table.  Fresh flowers added in to baby’s breath, silver ball lights, lighted garland and candles create a New Year’s Eve look that can start in the afternoon and go right on through until midnight! The small battery lighting adds to tabletops – perfect for drama in the dark. To round out your evening, add movies, music, quick pick up food or home gourmet cuisine. Having time to enjoy the small details has some rewards!

Have a Happy New Year!
