So this week, Pat used the very "expensive" lacquer chargers that cost me twenty cents more than I should have paid for each of them. Pat selected glasses and napkin overlays to match. Then she chose an accent plate that set the whole place setting off. I think the table looks perfect.

Pat chose an elegant gold plated flatware to go with the dinner plate

The five piece place setting
|
A white napkin surrounded by a green overlay is held by a gold and pearl napkin ring
|
The green glass is almost the same color as the charger
|
First layer of the place setting is the gorgeous metallic peacock accent plate from Pier 1
|
The dinner plate is "Mansfield" by Lenox
|
Ah Ha!!!!! The very "expensive" green lacquer charger that started it all............
|
The napkin ring is from Pier 1
|
Pat made two small arrangements for each side of the larger one
|
The extra large arrangement is flanked by gold hurricanes.
|
Pat put the arrangement on a green charger topped with a gold plate
|
The small arrangements were made in matching gold bowls. Pat placed each of them on a white plate (to coordinate with the big arrangement) and then on a gold salad plate
|
These fragile gold color votive holders are from Pier 1 last Christmas

One last look from the other end of the table

Before I end, The Tablescaper is celebrating her fourth Blog-a-versary on June 2, 2013. As part of her "Seasonal Sundays," she is hosting another "Where Do You Keep It All?" party. As EVERYONE who knows me knows, I adore her. She is my absolute hero and those are my favorite ever blog postings. With any luck (and courage to expose myself to the world) I am finally going to join her party. So....family, my apologies to you. Yes, I am going to let the secret out. I will be free. Hold your head up high and tell your friends and in-laws "Oh, that's just the crazy Aunt with all the dishes we told you about." And Alma - thank you once again.

Again, I find myself admiring one of your tablescapes. I like the "unusual" metallic green chargers...and then the way you built upon them as your inspiration. Everything you added is set off by those pretty green chargers. Just Brilliant!! My "good" china is Lenox Mansfield so again, there is a special connection to your tablescape.
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning! The peacock plates are so pretty but the setting just makes them pop! Love the metallic green chargers and I think that is a darn good price! I keep saying how can you top yourselves, but you do!
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid tablescape....I don't know what I like more, the peacock plates, the gold flatware or the color scheme...OK, Love all of it!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
Oh boy those peacock dishes are fabulous and those "expensive" green chargers really help to highlight them! I love the gold accents and your centerpiece florals. Those swirl green glasses are lovely! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this table! Funny thing, I looked at those chargers at Michael's and almost bought them but was afraid the metallic green was just a little harsh, but you have elevated them to the stunning level! The peacock plates are perfect with them, and all the other bright green accessories you added. Fabulous table!
ReplyDeleteI saw those peacock plates, but let me say, this combination took them at least two levels up! I love those overpriced chargers. They are the most perfect color. This just a real fabulous table. Great job!!! xo marlis
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind. I'm so happy that you will be joining "Where do you keep it all?". I'm always curious to see where and how fellow dish-a-holics store their loot!
ReplyDeleteI love this table. The green metallic chargers give this table such an interesting touch.
