Tablescape

 My home is going to be featured next month on a house walk here in Riverside,IL, so I have been so busy painting, rearranging things, and planning for the event.   My home will be featured alongside other designers and architects that live in my town. 

I am playing with how I want to "style" 

my home for this event.   

Here is how I plan to dress 

my dining table...want it to feel 

like I am hosting some guests.  

 I am going to add a little 

pie under the cloche 

on the day of 

the housewalk.

I have added some 

vintage table linens, 

utensils, and glassware 

at one end. 

 I clipped off some sprigs from the 

yard and added them 

to a contemporary vase.

The oranges tie into the 

colors in my home...I have all 

greens, golds, 

and oranges through out.

 To separate the clusters of accessories, 

I added the wicker tray, 

all with like items....greenery.  

 Here is a close up of the dining rug.

 Later this evening, I took some 

shots to see how things look with a 

touch of candlelight and a 

few apples under 

the glass dome...always playing.

 At the other end of the grouping, 

the appetizer plates, 

cream pitcher and bowel 

all nestled in together.  

I added a silver cake knife 

found at an antique store.

 The table linens are layered 

for added interest.

I know it was a success when my son 

asked if we were having company.

Now to work on the rest of the house...

It's all in the details!!!!
