Green Apples & Lace...A Spring Table

*

*

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!

*

Today I thought I would share a tablescape that I created last year.

  The fresh, crisp color palette of this table is perfect for the spring season.

  It is one of my favorites...I hope that you enjoy it as well!

A Spring Table

*

*

Here we are in my french country dining room.

*

As you can see, my dining room is done in shades of red,

 olive green, and gold. This color theme tends to be a bit dark...but

 I think the white dining table/chairs and buffet help keep the room light.

 I love how the crisp white looks against the deeper, rich colors! I found
 my old chippy, french farm table several years ago at the antique
 flea market. I just love it!

~Green Apples & Lace~

*

I wanted to create a tablescape using a "fresh" color palette for the spring season.

Fresh, crisp white and bright apple green...

fit the ticket perfectly for a spring luncheon table set for four.

*

*

*

Colorful...crisp...and fresh!

*

*

*

I really do like how the crisp white and bright apple green look against

 the red dining room walls...don't you?

*

In fact, it was the spring decor of my dining room buffet

 that inspired this fresh, springtime table today.

*

Here is a peek at the buffet...

*

*

Lot's of cool, crisp white...with a few splashes of apple green!

*

I collect white ironstone pitchers and decided to display a few of them in the

 vignette for my spring buffet.

*

I also love cloches...can you tell?  Two of my favorite cloches can be seen here!

*

*

*

On the left-hand side of the buffet...

*

An olive green transferware pitcher filled with teaspoons is showcased

 under a tall cloche. I elevated the cloche on a glass pedestal plate to give it a

 little more "presence". I also placed an apple green colored leaf plate under the

 small ironstone pitcher...to bring a "splash" of that pretty green to this side

 of the vignette.

*

*

*

On the right-hand side of the buffet...

*

Green apples!

*

 Green apples under glass!

*

 I love how they look...so fresh...and so springy! I think that this

 is the largest cloche that I own. It stands a stately 13" in height and is a

 whopping 10" in diameter. I'm sure that I could stack an entire dozen of

 green apples easily...under this big girl! Hehe!

The Centerpiece

*

A white ironstone pitcher filled with white and green hydrangeas

 is the star attraction in this "Green Apples and Lace" table centerpiece.

 The beautiful spring bouquet is sitting atop a large green "leaf shaped"

 serving platter. It's a nice sized platter...measuring about 18" in length...it

 actually could double for a serving tray. A trio of bright green apples

 are scattered about on the leaf platter.

*

Four crystal candleholders with apple green tapers join the mix...two

 on either side of the leaf platter. And...a cloche...with a single green apple...

adds another beautiful aspect to this spring table centerpiece.
