the best lemon tablescapes

 

Our largest lemon tree is still so full of lemons right now, that it's such a pleasure to use them every day for cooking and to flavor our water and teas.

In addition to that, when life gives you so many amazing lemons, it's also fun to fill lots of pretty bowls and sprinkle those citrus filled bowls to different rooms around the house. 

Of course using them for a table setting is also a wonderful idea that is always a fresh look that can't be beat. 

I love the effortless pop of color and lovely scent it brings to each and every table setting. Here are a few of my favorite examples. 

 

Easy as lemon meringue pie, a table runner and matching lemon place mats instantly add loads of charm to your dining space, indoors or out! A frilly cake stand filled to brim with lemons makes a bold statement.

 

I can’t help feeling a sense of happiness looking at these new lemon pattern table linens from Pacific and Rose. 

They're so easy to accessorize too, just add a few fresh lemons and pretty flowers and the look is complete!

When life gives you lemons, we must remember to enjoy them in every way possible! 

Note the unique quality of all these lemon patterned table linens and accessories that are hand block-printed by artisans at the fair-trade workshop in Jaipur, India. 

This timeless pattern plays off the real lemons in my home so well.

The Snowball Viburnum flowers are from my cottage garden, and easily arranged in a vintage white ironstone pitcher. 

I love how they look with the soft green tones of the pretty Lemon Tablecloth and Napkins. 

It's so fun to decorate and "play house" with these beautiful new gifted treasures! First up is this beautiful new "Garden Yellow" tablecloth and napkins from August Table.

The texture of this soft linen and cotton blend is amazing and I also love the little lace-like inset on the tablecloth.... Can you spot it?

 

It's perfectly acceptable to mix the faux with the real, and in this case, both types of lemons are a hit!

And from Antique Farmhouse, check out this gorgeous faux lemon and eucalyptus wreath. 

It's so realistic that it's hard to distinguish the real lemons on the table from the faux variety! 

Also new this week is the Distressed Metal Urn, also from Antique Farmhouse. It's got the perfect patina for any situation!!.

 

Weekend vibes here at home in the breakfast room.

 

One of my favorite tablecloths is this one called “Monet’s Kitchen” from Pacific and Rose. 

Inspired by the Provencal color palette of Claude Monet’s Kitchen in Giverny. Of course fresh lemons and a few limes are the perfect accents for this pattern. 

Who wouldn't want to wake up to a sunny, fresh table like this for breakfast?!

 

This pretty pattern is block-printed by hand in lovely shades of blue, green and yellow.

 

I love how perfectly it blends with my citrusy centerpieces.

 

It's so perfect for giving your home a weekend vibe all week long!

 

Life. Lemons. Lemonade. You know the drill... 

But making the best of something also includes a little indulgence, like this gorgeous new Lemon Glass Pitcher from Vagabond House I absolutely fell in love with.

 

So, when you're making your lemons into lemonade, remember to treat yourself to something special, because after all, YOU are worth it!!

The beautiful Capri Lemon placemats and table runner are available from Elrene. 

 

 

 

In case you haven’t heard, I started a new Instagram page in October and named it Claudia Fabiana Home. My former page is still up, but after getting a new phone, I was no longer able to log into this account, so the new profile was born!

 

I hope you’ll follow along with me on Instagram for all the latest projects and décor I will be sharing in 2025.

lemons and ivy are always a great idea!

Just in time for Mother’s Day and summer are these new prints and patterns from Pacific & Rose in a happy palette of Lemons and Ivy!

 

Let’s start with the Lemon pattern, shall we? 

One can’t help feel a sense of happiness with this new tablecloth and matching napkins.  Accessorize with a few fresh lemons and flowers, and the look is complete!

 

Easy as lemon meringue pie, a table runner and matching lemon place mats instantly add loads of charm to your dining space, indoors or out!

 

Note the unique quality of all these table linens and accessories that are hand block-printed by artisans at the fair-trade workshop in Jaipur, India.

Just like the Lemon print, the new Ivy print is an instant classic! Here I’ve styled a table out in the backyard. It’s a cozy spot between the ivy wall of the house and a small apple tree.

And how about those pretty white snapdragons? I grew them myself this year in my cut flower bed along with these pretty blush colored Desdemona roses. 

I added a little ivy from the wall to the table as a nod to this pretty pattern!

 

As soon as I saw this new Ivy pattern, I thought how lovely it would look with my vintage Franciscan Ivy plates.

 

Just like the ones Lucy & Ricky used for years on I Love Lucy! 

What’s not to love?!

 

The Snowball Viburnum flowers are from my cottage garden, and easily arranged in a vintage white ironstone pitcher. I love how they look with the soft green tones of the pretty Ivy table runner.

farmhouse style for summer 2023

 

Have you picked up the summer issue of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style yet? It’s jam-packed with great décor, farmhouse style inspiration, DIY projects and recipes.

It’s so perfect for a relaxing afternoon of reading too. Be sure to check it out… I have a few projects and recipes featured as well.

I made this table runner from various damaged vintage tablecloths. They either were stained or had small holes in them, so I took the good bits, but them in strips, and sewed them together to make a new runner.

  

Here’s a look at our “faux door” that we added to a huge blank wall in the backyard. It now faces the new potager garden and adds to the ambiance.

 

These were a pair of shutters I literally found in an alley, and I had my handyman guru, George frame them out with some door molding. I added a little bit of vintage hardware for fun.

 

Now these were really fun to make and even more fun to eat! These little Lemon Meringue Pies in jam jars are a perfect Sunday afternoon pick-me-up. 🍋 

This is a great idea for a picnic or potluck too. Check out the whole recipe on page 110.

This project is on page 10 and is my fave. Architectural salvage can create instant interest to any space, and this chippy, old vintage shutter had the most beautiful patina on it when I found it.

 

It’s really handy for holding favorite recipe cards in the corner of the kitchen. I just used mini clothespins. Total cost… zero dollars!

Check out these treasured recipe cards from my husband’s mother, aunt and grandmother. Some of these recipes are on full rotation in our kitchen, like Martha's Coleslaw.

 

Check out my willow teepee filled with nasturtium.

 

This is not my home. It's the home of Shannon Wilson aka My Little White Barn on Instagram.

Isn’t it darling?

There are so many good articles in this issue, and I was so pleased to see a great feature on Shannon and her home.  

 

ciao! fabiana
