Summer Tablescape

I do love a good tablescape!

Always have. always will.

Haven't fully decided my plan in the future when we start actually eating dinner at the table as a family.  Any one out there have a good solution for keeping a table looking good and set, but still using it nightly? 

 

Well... while little buddy is still eating mostly "mama milk" and from a high chair, and hubby and I are eating mostly in front of the tv... I will continue to set the table and enjoy it :)

 

So this was our table since March.  Haven't been changing it up as often as I used to. Something about a baby taking up most of my time :)

And I was ready to change it for fall so I decided to take some pictures... (I'll share the fall one soon!)

 

 My mom and I found this awesome tablecloth in Marshall's.  Can't beat that!
Since this technically started as my EASTER table... I decided to use the birds on the table.  Still not sure why birds equaled Easter to me, since Easter usually means eggs, bunnies, or Jesus.  But I went with birds.  And I liked it :)

 And since I only have 3 birds, I did an asymmetrical centerpiece.  Totally a new experience for me. But I really liked it!

The place settings... wooden charger (Williams-Sonoma),  napkin (Crate and Barrel), Blue plate and peacock plate (World Market).

 Here's the other end of the table... I used my green Anthro glasses to tie into the green birdies.

 The "table runner" was actually two blue place mats covered in my great-grandma's handmade doilies.  And then my favorite turquoise pottery bowl as the very middle.  never put anything in it (except large bags of tortilla chips a few times).  But I don't mind the look of an empty bowl, especially this one.

So that was my Easter, end of spring, summer Tablescape! 

I am loving my new fall one!  Totally changed it up this year!
