Do you see the napkins? Those are linen napkins that belonged to Great-Grandma Henrietta and I'm honored to use them! I finished them with a chocolate brown satin tie.
Dad went to China a few years ago and brought back two small urns for me. They are called black pottery and have the most lovely design on them. The opening is the perfect size to hold tea lights! So they are the candlesticks for my table. And its nice to show them off. They are quite the conversation pieces.
This is one of my favorite settings I have done. It is a really good mix of old and new pieces. The classic linen napkins coordinate perfectly with the modern pattern and color palette of the dishes.
I hope you enjoyed this week's table! I have big plans for the white twig centerpiece. You will be seeing it again, but next time you do it will be creepy and a little scary!! Stay tuned....
Such a nice mix of old and new! And your great-Grandma's linen napkins with Italian embroidery are just lovely. Such treasures! Thanks for sharing.

Jenny, those T.J. Maxx finds are so beautiful. Love the ribbon around the napkin too---and of course the silverware. The color combo of brown and turquoise is so appealing. Joni

I love the contemporary look you've created for this table, and the ribbon-wrapped heirloom napkins add a wonderful touch! Beautiful color scheme!
ReplyDeleteI love this chocolate and aqua table, I think it is my favorite of the tables you have done.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour combo and the more natural theme coordinates well! I have some plates in similar colours and am anxious to take inspiration from your 'scape!

Oh this is gorgeous -- love your mixture of old with new -- the beautiful colors and your amazing centerpiece. Well done!
ReplyDeleteOooooooh, I feel a spook tree coming. The white twig centerpiece is so effective. Your table captures so many great contrasting elements: old & new, light & dark, smooth & textural, clear & solid....very nicely done! I love the aqua and chocolate brown, and I adore that you are such a good steward of your Great-grandmother Henrietta's beautiful napkins. Thank you for sharing your lovely design. Cherry Kay
