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!

~Green Apples & Lace~
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!

~Green Apples & Lace~
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.
