Blue and White Tablescape!

Blue and White Tablescape

I love using blue and white for a tablescape..it has a nautical feel when you add a few items from the sea.

I love this blue and white tablescape it is so simple and yet elegant.

I used my white lantern from Ikea ($10.00 a few years ago) filled with seashells.I wanted to raise up my white dishes on a pedestal. I don’t own a white one but I do own….

this white footed bowl. I simply turned it upside down and it made the

perfect pedestal!

How cool is that! I love how it looks upside down.

Multi use! I love it!

I grabbed this garden decoration thing a ma bob from out of my office shelving and plopped it next to the lantern for a fun weathered look.

I love how my white napkin rings look so beautiful against the blue and white napkins and this gorgeous star fish!

Here you can see the bottom of the lantern filled with sea shells and the base of the garden thingy.

So pretty for a centerpiece on a buffet table.

I am participating in
Tablescape Thursday!

    There's lots to grab from this tablescape. I do love it! One thing I'm going to remember is to invert a pedastal bowl for a great footed riser!

    Wow…love that Seaside setting! I can see the Sea from our neighborhood and this would be so perfect for dining Al Fresco! I have some of those Pottery Barn Star Fish….love them..

    Check out my very simple centerpeice on my dining room table..you can see it on my blog today on the Peanut butter bar recipe…right behind the bars…any ideas to Spruce it up? It is one of my grandmother's china cups/saucer, a garage sale plate, a Southern Living plate, another garage sale plate and two rectangular doilies from last weekend garage saling for 25 cents each! I was kinda proud of myself, since I lack in these skills…lol. Have a great weekend! XO Heidi
