I have a fun southwest style Longhorn and Lace Tablescape set up on the front porch farm table. |
 |
I am planning a simple salad supper.....everyone will bring their favorite summer salad...... |
 |
I chose a lace tablecloth to set the placemats, plates, glasses, napkins, and cutlery on. The salads will be served buffet style on a nearby table. |
 |
In addition to the centerpiece on the table, I have a blingy boot floral design tied to each of the "head seats" |
 |
Since it is a salad supper, I thought a salad centerpiece would be cute. The base of my centerpiece is a black vintage iron scale. I filled the scale "tub" with faux veggies, roses, and lace. |
 |
Lots of guests wearing boots will be here tonight .....and they might need repairs ..... so I have some metal shoe lasts on hand just in case....lol! |
 |
I restyled the mantle to coordinate with the southwest tablescape theme..... |
 |
A olive bucket full of air ferns, pink boots....... |
 |
Sconces and roses make for a quick change mantle. |
 |
I wanted to show you how I would set the table if I were having a sit down dinner rather than a buffet. |
 |
I didn't want to cover my pretty place mats with a plate, napkins ...etc..... (I purchased a pad of 50 Longhorn placemats on Amazon for about $34) |
 |
The only way I came up with to showcase the pretty placemats was to set the mat just above the plate so the longhorn could be seen. I chose a white lacy charger and lacy napkins to keep my Longhorn and Lace tablescape theme going. Do any of you know what the iron piece on the left of the fork is.....a boot puller! Just set the heel of your boot between the horns and pull your boot off. |
 |
I didn't want to take time to set the entire table, but you get the idea. I also brought down some of the decor on the fireplace to give the table a more formal look that I would want at a sit down dinner. |
Penny- How you think up all these great ideals is beyond me. Your guest tonight will be in for a treat. Love this setting- Thank you for sharing.
