Fall Blue Tablescape

This week's table is a combination of trying a different Autumn color and a bit of nostalgia. We wanted to do a Fall tablescape using blue as the primary color - it's unconventional (which appeals to Pat) and it is something new for us to try (which appeals to me.) And the best part - although many tablescapers are creating tables using wooden toolboxes lately, we are using our Dad's nearly 70 year old toolbox as the basis for the centerpiece. Neat.

The table - Pat started with a burlap runner

The toolbox is replete is lots of original paint splatters - I love it.  

The place setting - Pat used Autumn rust to accent the blue.

Flatware is Spode "Image."

Pat wrapped a white napkin around a matching rust charger

Glassware is a combination of a blue Pier 1 water goblet and blue Artland wine glass

The toolbox is filled with blue and rust colored silk hydrangea accented with beige flowers and tapers
