Sister Act II-Elaine

It's time for Sister Act II! My sister, Robin, and I used the same animal print placemats as inspiration for this week's tablescape. How similar and how different will they be? Let's find out!

I hope you enjoy!

There was no doubt I would set this table in my kitchen. Even though the day was overcast, the skylight always provides good lighting!

I borrowed this wall sconce from my living room, and replaced the aqua glass with clear glass.

The animal print dishes came from Ross, and the square Pottery Barn plates came from Goodwill.

I found this pair of candleholders at Goodwill and knew they would be perfect. I did give the masks a few coats of gold paint.

I decided to do ivory on ivory with my napkins and rings, because there is already so much pattern and contrast going on. The rings were on clearance at Tuesday Morning.

The centerpiece and the goblets also came from Goodwill.

I couldn't wait to light the candles!

Thank you so much for visiting! I know my sister and I have a lot of fun doing these Sister Acts, and I'm sure there will be more in the future!

Calm Seas Ahead!

I love every shade of blue, from sky blue to navy. The inspiration for this week's tablescape is a set of aqua goblets. As I was putting it together, I decided that this shade of blue is one of my favorites! I've always said that if Colorado had an ocean, it would be the most perfect place on earth.

Hope you enjoy!

When I bought these glasses at a flea market, I had nothing to go with them. But, at $5 for four of them, it was just too good a deal to pass up!

My sister gave me the chargers for Christmas (thanks, Robin!) and the small plates came from TJ Maxx. The square bowls came from Big Lots.

With each tablescape I try to find something for the wall which will complement it. The best I could do was this metal piece with it's verdigris finish. It has a nautical look, doesn't it?

I did buy the fabric for these napkins with this tablescape in mind. It allowed me to use green as an accent color.

I bought these mercury glass candles at a thrift store for $1 each. I bought three gold and three silver. For this table, I placed two of them on top of silver candlesticks for some extra height. Part of the fun of these tablescapes is that you can do whatever you want!

I've been asked what these placemats from Z Galleries are made of. They are woven from a metallic vinyl. I just love them. So does my cat, Eddie, who tried to pull one out from under my stack of dishes!

Thank you for stopping by!

Walking On Sunshine!

If you've never been to Colorado, you are missing out on two things--crystal clear blue skies and incredible sunshine. We have had an entire week of both, and the weather is my inspiration for this week's tablescape.

All the dishes and the stemware came from Goodwill. I like how the design on the flatware mimics the swirls on the blue plates. The placemats are from Ross.

I bought this ceramic container (it has a lid) at Sam's years ago. I don't even remember what it was filled with because I bought it for the container. During the winter I keep it filled with biscotti. This time I filled it with sunshine, in the form of big yellow blossoms!

I made the floral napkins and painted the napkin rings white (they had a funky black and white pattern).

I didn't have yellow candles, so I used the lemons painted on the container as my inspiration. They are sitting on a bed of glass beads.

I was fascinated by the air bubbles in these goblets!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope your week is full of sunshine, too!
