We
had a little dinner party this weekend
and
here’s a peek at the table,
inspired
by my new seashell
place card holders
and
the "Debutante" camellias from my garden.

beachy tablescape
I stopped by to visit to my friend Meredith
at her adorable little beach-inspired
boutique
and came home with a few little
goodies
I fell in love with the seashell place card holders that she makes. They are so fun on the table and can even be useful holding photos or recipe cards.
She also has the cutest napkin rings, and I chose this one with all the hanging little seashells that remind me of a charm bracelet.
I also couldn't resist the linen napkins with seahorses and sand dollars
softly painted on them. What do you think of the table?
The dishes and other tableware, I’ve owned for a while,
but the
round woven place mats are from Cost Plus.
I also love my sea horse dish that I got

While I’m here today, I wanted to share some of my "Tablescaping Essentials" with you. I have a whole page on the Amazon website with my favorite picks for setting a beautiful table.
Quite often time is of the essence, and I have last minute projects or events to work on, so I turn to Amazon for one or two day delivery. You’d be surprised at how many amazing items they have to offer! And I'm constantly updating this page with my new favorites.

| a work in progress |
This week on the season finale of
Million Dollar Decorators,
Mary showed off her newly revamped house.
The adjectives thrown around to describe
the update were cool "grandma-ish",
"Palm Beach", "Palm Springs", and "1970's"
all with a modern twist that only Mary can pull off.
She chose a pretty green and white
Quadrille wallpaper and matching fabric
for her kitchen nook area.
 |
| checking out the finished kitchen with BFF Nathan |
 |
| I love the velvet chairs and modern light fixture |
 |
| detail of Quadrille wall covering and fabric |
 |
| pretty details too |
In her bedroom,
Mary centered the design on a
beautiful hand-painted
Gracie wall paper that is ultra-feminine
and very traditional,
even if it meant carpeting
over a graphic floor she just had painted.
The end product is stunning.
I love the subtle soft pink accessories
scattered about.

 |
| Gorgeous sitting area |
 |
| bedroom vignette with lots of layers of whites, creams and soft grays |
 |
| a great mix of modern touches |
 |
| a little soft pink is perfect |
Mary's living room was described
by Kathryn as "very grown-up",
even though there was a funny smell in there,
haha!
Beautiful shades of green fabrics
with white walls dominate this design.
Personal touches in the form of accessories
that she has collected over the years,
add personality to the room.
 |
| Simple and grown-up |
 |
| beautiful symmetry |
 |
| and gorgeous details |
