Summer Entertaining :: Tablescape with Villeroy & Boch

There is still plenty of summer left for entertaining family and friends and so today I’m sharing a recent tablescape inspired by the warmth, color and bounty the season brings.

The beautiful plate with tangerine band by Villeroy & Boch, the creator of extraordinary dinnerware treasured worldwide, was the launching point for the vibrant color palette.

For a layered look,  the classic plate was placed atop a glazed stoneware in grey. It’s an eclectic look, but it works because the fine platinum trim of the plate is picked up in the grey stoneware and green tablecloth.

The tabletop blooms are simply seasonal garden flowers and succulents that pull together the color scheme. They were arranged in a vintage milk glass vessel well below eye level so they wouldn’t impede conversation flow. I paired the floral arrangement with a bowl of tangerines also in a vintage milk glass bowl.

Hope this little tablescape inspires your next summer dinner party!

Friday Find :: Geometric Porcelain Hardware by Julie Moon

As head into the second half of the year, geometric patterns continue to be hot. And of course, I personally love the look. So, I flipped when I spotted the beautiful porcelain hardware line created by ceramics artist, Julie Moon exclusively for Anthropologie. Reminiscent of gems and candy sticks, Moon’s Lulu Knobs and Wall Hooks are fresh, fun and playful.

Colorful Girl’s Bedroom :: Grace Home Design

Elitis Kandy - Brit Pop Wallpaper

I’m completely obsessed with this wallpaper. It’s Brit Pop from the Kandy Collection by Elitis. You may recall seeing it featured in this year’s San Francisco Decorator’s Showcase. I always thought it would be delightful in a little girl’s bedroom and so did interior designer, Jennifer Visosky of Grace Home Design. The colorful, dreamy wallpaper was the launching point for Jennifer’s design.

I also love this custom built storage unit. I’m not sure if the large silver panel is covered in wallpaper or was painted. In either case I love it!
