When life gives you lemons...Set a Table!

 

I have decided to challenge myself this summer to create a new table setting every other week or so using one component from the previous table setting. You can find my last table setting here. This week I took the colorful Sicilian salad plates from that setting and incorporated them into this lemon-themed setting. Nice, eh? I wasn't so sure how it would work, what with the lemon tablecloth and all, but I really do love it!

The tablecloth I found on Amazon here. I have been eager to use it ever since its purchase in November. It makes the entire room feel sunny and fresh.

On top of the tablecloth, I put leaf placemats that I got a number of years ago from Pier 1. On top of them are Italian Chargers (white with dark green edges) that I inherited from my mother. The yellow Waechtersbach dinner plates provide a nice pop of color. The napkins are from Pottery Barn.

Flatware is vintage Noritake Primastone. The salad bowls in the crescent shape I have had for probably about 40 years. I can’t remember where I got them, but I loved the fact that they took up less room on a table, and at that time I had a very small table.

The chalices I’ve had for a long time, and my mother and I used to pass those back-and-forth. The green water glasses are Villeroy and Boch; the bold blue stemware can be found here.

  

New this year is the darling lemon salt and peppershakers. I love these!

The pitcher in the center of the table is from a local shop, the faux tulips from Amazon.

  

Be sure to keep coming back to see what I do with the next table, and which element from this table that I choose to use.
