My favorite place to serve meals to the family is at the farmhouse table on the front porch..... and I couldn't wait to use my new place mats in a tablescape for a family dinner. |
I found my new place mats at Walmart for $2 .... they are reversible and can be cleaned with a damp cloth since they are vinyl, love that! Here is side 1..... |
and here is side 2. |
For side two place mats, I used aqua ball jar plates with plastic pink handled silverware. For the family members that don't like salad ....this is where you can sit...lol! |
I have extra silverware in a chicken wire caddy. |
I have 5 mason jars filled with small rose bouquets on a tablerunner for a simple centerpiece.. |
I covered the fireplace mantel with a quilted lap throw that has the same colors that I used in my tablescape. |
A basket of flowers.....two bird houses.....a couple of birds and two sprays of flowers complete my fireplace mantel |
Now, I can just relax until time for dinner! |
Very pretty and so nice what flowers and canning jars can do to enhance a pretty paper plate.
ReplyDeleteLove the placemats....so cheery for spring. And the paper plates and plastic utensils go so wonderfully with them. Very cute. Always love the special items that add that bit of whimsy to your decor. Very inviting table setting. It's almost too pretty to mess up by eating there!haha
ReplyDeleteOh, I wanted to know about your umbrella? Did you put a handmade top on it? It looks so cute. I have some vintage curtains and tablecloths that I was going to use on some of my umbrellas but I haven't gotten to them yet. Just wondering about yours. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing outdoor space. Very pretty.
