Thoughts of Spring on a Winter’s Day

Good morning, sweet friends! I don’t know about you, but I could use some sunshine. With Winter’s darkness and the desire for Spring, I decided that pretty flowers and happy color would be my inspiration for today’s tablescape.

These pretty flowers have some of my favorite colors, and add a wonderful accent to the table.

For the centerpiece, the floral arrangement was placed on a tole tray with a pretty floral sugar bowl and creamer.

Gold lace placemats were used along with a beaded gold organza runner placed at an angle. The plates were purchased at Homegoods a couple of years ago. They are by Sadek and are a reproduction of the Chinese export porcelain collected by Harold S. Vanderbilt.

  2. Beautiful table Shannon…LOVE those plates…such a great find at HomeGoods…I have never seen these at mine…the table certainly says that Spring is in the air in your home!…How it so brightens up the room! … BTW, always meant to tell that that I love your sheath back chairs!

    • Thank you, Shirley! The chairs belonged to my in-laws. My mother-in-law decided to go with a more modern look so I lucked out and got these beautiful chairs. I always admired them. I hope that you enjoy your day and that you have a wonderful weekend!!!

  11. Your dining area looks so cozy and inviting and the spring touches on your table are so uplifting on this dreary winter’s day. Love the paint colour on your walls!

  12. Needed to see a touch of Spring today!!! 😉

  13. Beautiful tablescape ! So spring-y 🙂

  14. What a beautiful dream of spring you’ve put together! The flowers are beautiful and definitely brighten things up! Those are pretty dishes- love their colors! I’m dreaming of spring but it won’t truly be here until April!

    • Thank you, Liz! I am so dreaming of Spring too. Our weather here in Oklahoma has been really crazy this year. We have had some 70 and 80 degree days. It makes you wish for Spring. I hope that you enjoy your day!!!

  15. Beautiful colors in your flowers and plates. Your plates are striking and the napkins look great with them. Spring is around the corner for you I know.
    It has sprung here weirdly. It got down to 34 last night and a high of 70 is predicted for today. I’m in south Alabama and I need to look up where you are.

    • Thank you, Bonnie, for the sweet and kind words. Our weather in Oklahoma has been like yours. It is in the 30s in the morning with highs in the 70s in the afternoon. It has been a crazy Winter! I think that is what has me dreaming of Spring. I am ready for green grass, trees, and pretty flowers. We are visiting your pretty state in May for our family vacation. It is one of favorite places to visit. We are staying in Point Clear and using it a spring board to visit other areas. My kid’s love Orange Beach! I hope that you enjoy your day!!!

  16. I love your dining room and table setting. Everything looks so elegant, but homey and comfortable at the same time . . . like you’d just like to walk into that room and sit down. Thanks for the nod to spring!

  17. Lovely table with beautiful china and flowers
