Tabletop Tuesday: Love Dish

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s Tabletop Tuesday. Let’s keep renewing the vows of love. Love of self, family, friends, community and the world at large. When we focus our purest intentions with the heartbeat of love at the forefront, the frequencies of that intention will reverberate throughout our lives. It’s like the wind in a storm. The more we power we give love, the stronger its commanding force.

Since this is a tabletop post, of course, the love theme includes food. Food that comforts us, nourishes us, strengthens us and just makes us purely happy regardless of category. It is my belief that food is fuel for our brains, our hearts and soul.

Eat with style. Eat with pleasure. Remember to send love and some food to those who are less fortunate than us. When we give abundantly, it will always show up in every area of our lives. Renew your vows with love today.

Tabletop Tuesday: Black + White Swirl

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tabletop Tuesday features my latest creation from a black and white plate collection of circles. I love the pop art illusion of endless spirals that rotate between white on black and black on white. By stacking these plates, it is really a fun salute to sassy modern style. I mixed this plates on a crisp, white linen with matte, slightly glossy black glassware and a classic bell to signal for more. If all else fails, you can eat that little black dish of rocks and shells. Sometimes that tastes better than your foot in your mouth while trying to eat a mediocre meal. Hey, it happens. Just show some gratitude and appreciate the presentation.

 

Tabletop Tuesday: Blue Ground

Tabletop Tuesday sets your place at the table with a harmonious connection of earth and sky. Brown and sky blue are two colors that timeless balance each other. Perhaps the brown reminds us of the ground and the blue the sky. Somewhere in between we exist.

The foundation of linens is laid with navy blue material with a vintage scarf, filled with fun geometric shapes and the brown and blue color story, as the runner. I chose organic shapes of dishware for this setting. The bottom blue plate is a perfect circle but the middle brown plate and blue bowl are not exact circles which makes them visually and texturally interesting. I chose a navy, pinstripe napkin with a brass napkin ring. The setting is finished with brown vintage glassware and vintage rosewood and brass utensils from Thailand.

Bon appétit with flair and style!

Tabletop Tuesday – Grey, White + Purple

Tabletop Tuesday is a crowning achievement of grey and white with a splash of purple and yellow. This plate set alternates a series of materials and patterns on top of a fun quail and crown runner with stainless steel Mid-century modern salt and pepper shakers and a vintage plum glass.

Idea…wrap a ribbon around your silverware to add more patterns and to create something fun.
