Beyond Pastels


Pastels seem to have taken over The Little Round Table in the past few weeks, but now that "bunny" season has passed it is time to switch to a more varied palette.  Check at the end of this post for details on today's tablescape.

  7. Love your tablescape. The floral arrangement is very pretty and the colours coordinate beautifully. The hens are on my radar now, I already have the candle holders to match. Too cute!

  8. So pretty! I love how the tablecloth ties together all the colors. Red and yellow is actually a pretty color combination and you rarely see it outside of McDonald's (of course the red and yellow shades here are much more pretty). The gray and cream are nice complements to the soft butter yellow and

    Lovely!!!!

  15. Wow! You are right...such a refreshing change from all the pastels in which we have been immersed.

    Everything is as beautiful as always. But I am curious about what camera you use. I am shopping for a new one and so confused. Your pictures are alway so beautiful. What kind of camera do you use?

  16. Well, you made me like Cinnabar. It has never been one of my favorite Fiesta colors but you make it look great. That tablecloth is a perfect match.

  26. Beautiful. That creamy yellow just plays so well off the cinnabar and cream! Over the weekend I dug around and tried to set the table all perfectly like you do and I realized several things.

    a) I am not a tablescaper!
    b) I don't have any cool dishes or linens
    c) Even if I did have cool dishes and linens that (a) is still true.

    So that's my sad story .

    I shall just worship your creations from afar and not attempt them again!

    Thanks for linking.

    A+

  32. I side with Jenny,

  33. I love looking at your table every week! You have so many beautiful dishes! I have only one inexpensive set and it has a multitude of chipped plates. Jenny said it best:
    a) I am not a tablescaper!
    b) I don't have any cool dishes or linens
    c) Even if I did have cool dishes and linens that (a) is still true.

  35. What a pretty table! Love the square yellow plates.

  36. You are all very sweet and I do appreciate your comments. But, I disagree with you about NOT being tablescapers. Just set your table and then start layering it with other pretty things. Shop your house for things of like colors or that fit a theme you are trying to present. Go for it!
