Summer Table

I was going to start off by saying that I wanted to show off my new seafood plates from World Market when I realized that this is the first time that I’ve used any of the anything on this table, except for the vase!

The rattan chargers and the blue plates are both from GW.  My favorite here is the salad plates! I saw them online at World Market and they were marked down 1/2 half and since I was making a trip to the city, I dropped in the store.  They had 5 left with one having a chip but there was no sale sign.  I went to a sales clerk who scanned them and they WERE half off, and I had a coupon!  I love the bright red with the sea coral engraved in the white!

That’s why I chose to use the PB coral in the centerpiece.

vintage goblets and PB napkins

 

The vintage goblets were from a yard sale.  The napkins are from PB.

 

crab plates from World Market

 

Two lobster, or for us Louisiana natives, crawfish plates and two crab plates!

Here’s an update on the breakfast are.  I ordered another blue button pillow from PB.  Now the pillows are balanced.  Next are the cushions.  I’m not liking the loose fit, I think I’m going to try some thicker fitter cushions.  What to do you think?

  1. I loved how you linked all the pieces together, either by color or by the figural nature -- the coral is a good example of this. I also like how the soft blues connect between the cushions, napkins, and the dishes. Lovely table!
