Pictures of Elvis in a hot pink shirt were the inspiration for this week's table.

Black, white and Hot PINK!!! Love this table so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea to use hot pink and black for your Elvis table. The faux leather place mats are beautiful with this. I bought some of these and my son saw them and took them home so I just went back to the store and bought more. Your china is so unusual with the tiny checks and great for this black color and hot pink napkins and chargers! Have a great week!

This is just wonderful. I am such an Elvis fan. Have been since I was a little girl and it's not waning any time soon! The pink and black is so cool. Love love the dishes and those silky pink napkins! Great idea using the glasses for vases, I must remember that. thanks for sharing.. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteI came here earlier and couldn't get the pictures to show on my computer. I'm so glad I tried again because this is such a fun and colorful table! I love how you let the photo inspire you. (Can it really be that many years since he died? I remember it well.)
ReplyDeleteWow I can't believe that it has been that long either. But do know where I was when I heard he news family vacation and we were lost in Kerrville Texas. Love the colors you used on the table. I am jealous of all your black glassware. I added 4 black goblets this week finally to my collection.
ReplyDeleteAgain love the table.

Your table turned out great and perfect with the picture! Can't wait to see one with some blue suede shoes!
ReplyDeleteOn, I love this and my husband's niece would really love this. She is a huge Elvis fan!! I love that bright pink with the black and everything detail is done to perfection. I, especially, like the flower arrangement - very creative! Great table!

ReplyDeleteGreat job :-)
