Simple.
Summer is a time when I prefer a simpler routine so I strive to find ways to create beauty and comfort with very little effort.
This is the first in a three part series on seasonal tables for summer, fall and winter. And for those followers that have been asking, the dining room reveal will be my first blog article next week.
I used very simple ideas to create this easy, yet beautiful table setting. Here some of the ideas (sources to the right):
- Simple white (neutral) table cloth
- Contrasting neutral runner
- Old architectural column riser as a centerpiece base (Good Look, Inc.)
- Vintage jar as a vase with simple white field flowers (Good Look, Inc.)
- 107 year old pages from a music publication for place mats
- Mixed vintage silverware
- Mixed vintage silver napkin rings
- Vintage Mini Cruets (Fringe)
- Antique ironstone butter pats used for individual salt & pepper
- Simple white votive candles
- Vintage (newly made) milk bottle for decanting ice water (Glass Milk Bottles -new)
- New cotton towels for napkins (IKEA, .79 cents)
- Vintage aluminum salt shaker for a toothpick holder
I hope that you find some inspiration!
Always,
Cindy
