To me there are two things that can turn a house {or apartment} into a space that feels like home– a made bed and a set table {can I get an Amen?!}! There is nothing I love more than setting the table for any occasion: a dinner party, brunch, lunch or date night. One of the things I love most about setting the table is it is easy to change it up and transform the mood of the occasion. Today, I am sharing two of my go-to summer table settings. One is fun and full of color, while the other is calm and elegant.
Must have {for me at least}… fresh flowers! Flowers come in all shapes, sizes and colors and make for the perfect accent {or focal point} to any dressed table.
When Daniel and I got married and were picking out our everyday dish ware, I went back and forth over whether we should do a neutral pallet or go colorful. Well, as you can see we went with white and I am SO glad! With neutral dish ware, you have a lot more room to play & change up colors in your table setting. It is much easier to switch out the placemats and napkins than it is to switch out your plates and bowls. And since I love collecting linens of all colors, white plates were the best choice for us! {see here where Daniel surprised me with new napkins for our anniversary}
