Black and White Toile Tablescape with a touch of pink

Black and white toile tablescape with a touch of pink. I love using toile fabric to get that pretty feminine French look on my table. To break up all the black and white I just added a tiny bit of pink using flowers and pink berry napkin rings. 
Here we are looking through one of my black chairs at the tablescape :)ooooh lets get in closer shall we?Black and White toile with a little punch of hot pink!

Black and White Toile Fabric

The tablecloth is fabric from Walmart but I linked a similar looking fabric below. I like using unusual things like this framed drawing of a chicken on the table.

Black and white dishes

I used my white dinner plates from Ikea once again and my pretty black and white “damask” plates on top that were a gift from my hubby. Notice my white napkins spruced with my pink napkin rings!

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 HEREI 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

Adding Glassware

I love how my plain glassware just sparkles on the table and how everything looks so European up against the brick walls.
Speaking of Europe make sure you check out my post about how we came to own an Italian Palace here
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!

 

Bon Appetite!

 

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.

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!

    • Hi Ramon,
      My hubby bought them for me a few years ago back when we lived in Texas from a little gift shop. The name on the back is Rosanna made in China if that helps.
      Thank you for your nice comments.

      • What a charming, lovely tablesetting! I am a big fan of black and white and it shows throughout my home and tableware collection --- I even have a black Scottie dog! And, I have rooster dishes and decor in my kitchen. So, your tablescape appealed to me on many levels. You might enjoy my version of the same theme at: https://debbeesbuzz.com/fall-farm-rooster-table/
