Black and White Tablescape “French Style” Napkin Ring Giveaway!

“French Style” Tablescape dedicated to my mom she loves all things French!
Napkin Ring Giveaway information is at the bottom of this post.
Here we are looking through one of my black chairs at the the tablescape 🙂
ooooh lets get in closer shall we? Black and White with a little punch of hot pink!
The tablecloth is fabric from Walmart!
I like using unusual things like frames on the table.
Le Poulet (The Chicken).
I used my white dinner plates from Ikea once again and my black and white “Toile” plates on top. (Toile means cloth)
Notice my white napkins spruced with my pink napkin rings!
Do you love or what!

 

Again I am using my dollar store finds! These little black tea-light holders are fabulous on any table..remember I also used them in Beachy tablescape HERE

 

I snatched a couple of buds off my beautiful flowering bush (I can’t remember the name of it) and placed one in each of these darling juice glasses that I picked up at the thrift store! I love how my plain glassware just sparkles on the table and how everything looks so European up against the brick walls.
I stole this glass jar from the living room that is filled with white balls that have cute black letters on them. How perfect is that! Isn’t it interesting how when you use a glass dome and place something very simple underneath it…that simple little item becomes something magnificent. I used a clear glass cake plate to elevate it and give it even more prominence on the table.
I don’t have enough of the black and white Toile salad plates so I used these white salad plates that have words on them. The whites don’t even match but I think it all came together.

Ahhhh…it just says spring doesn’t it. Look at the blue sky with white puffy clouds in the back! I think these colors and ideas would work perfectly for a Mother’s Day Lunch or even a wedding reception..don’t you think? 

Okay…a little secret…see those black charger plates sitting underneath the white dinner plate? They are actually gold and red chargers…I just flipped them upside down!! How cool is that! No money spent here!

 

Clear
I also used some other odds and ends from around the house. The white rooster and the tall black wooden thinga ma bobs to add some height and drama.
Hope you all enjoyed my “French Style” tablescape.
Especially you MOM 🙂

Here is another fun fall tablescape that I put together using yellows and oranges and natural elements. 

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Very cute table! I have those toile dishes! I got them in a set of four from Spiegel some years back. That tablecloth is great- who knew Walmart was a place to go to for French deco too! I like the flipped over chargers- very creative! All of your elements are creative and fun to look at!

  • Black and white and pink is certainly a charming combination. Your mother would certainly be pleased that this table is dedecated to her.

  • Love, love, love the black and white...beautiful!
    Have a beautiful weekend!
    ;-D Kathleen

  • Oh this is so gorgeous! I would love if you entered this in My French obsession linking Party on the 1st!
    Love
    Frenchy
    I need to stare at it longer ....LOL

  • Have to head out the door & hoping I'm not too late to enter.. Have to come back later to buy napkin rings on sale. LOVE them!

  • Thanks for so many ideas! I'm going out to the kitchen right now and see if my chargers have black undersides!! I also like that you incorporated a picture frame into the tablescape. When I go by the frames at TJ Maxx (which has really cute, cheap frames), it was sort of a half-thought that I might do something with them on a table. Now you've completed what was only half a thought! I love black and white, too. I plan to get a cup of coffee and have a longer look at your wonderful tablescape. Thanks!

  • This is beautiful! I love, love, love the black and white. I love the simple pink accent too...my kitchen is done in roosters, but they are quite colorful :) Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
