A Fresh Spring Table

I always greatly welcome and get so excited about the freshness & brightness that the spring season brings!  As I was thinking about ways to pull in a fresh spring look here at the shop, I couldn't get my mind and my eyes off this beautiful pattern & color of table linens from Hen House Linens.  Thinking too of setting an Easter table later this month, I thought this collection would be perfect!  The 'ocean blue' is a lovely nod to the season's popular 'robin's egg blue' but just a bit deeper, and yet paired with the white dinnerware, a little brighter at the same time.  The latticework pattern lends a simple elegance too without being overly stuffy or formal.

I am most definitely a HUGE fan of white dinnerware.  It is a simply beautiful staple & a must-have in any dinnerware collection as it is such a great foundation to mix and match any color and any pattern you wish.  The possibilities are endless and to have the flexibility of changing things up with the seasons or your mood is just the ultimate indulgence for any home entertainer!

And, of course, I always look for a reason to mix in some of my favorite flowers into any table setting or just into any place in the house!  Hydrangeas are a big favorite of mine, and I love how these don't match the table exactly but instead complement the color scheme with tones of blue, yellow, & that deep leafy green.  They were just perfect for putting in this white pitcher & oh, so simple (love that part too!!)

Happy Spring everyone!! May you be inspired to bring the freshness & brightness of the season onto your table and into your home!
