Last
week, I shared a serene, sage-toned tablescape
and mentioned how “with only a few quick swaps, it can easily shift into
bolder, brighter hues as summer draws near.” Well, summer may still feel far
off, but with Easter just around the corner, I couldn’t resist giving that
table a joyful, colorful refresh!
If you click through, you’ll see the
transformation: the beautiful Bordallo Pinheiro geranium leaf bowls have been
moved to the side, perfect now for serving a fresh spring salad. I cleared away
the herb appetizer plates to let the stunning floral designs on the Portmeirion “Botanic
Garden” dinner plates take center stage—they truly shine! 
I traded the sage napkins for vibrant floral ones from Pottery
Barn that add instant cheer. Out went some of the glassware; in came my beloved
salmon-colored water and wine glasses—purchased back in the 70s right out of
college because I fell head over heels for them, and I love them just as much
now.
The large Portmeirion butterfly cups and saucers
stepped aside to make room for Bordallo
Pinheiro geranium leaf espresso cups—ideal for
after-dinner coffee and a lovely echo of the cabbage leaf salad bowls.
Finally, I refreshed the centerpiece by blending last week’s cherry blossoms with
a mix of soft pink and cranberry carnations plus alstroemeria. Voilà—a
completely new, festive table is born!
The best part? It really is that simple to transition from one
season (or holiday) to the next with just a handful of thoughtful changes. Who
else loves playing mix-and-match with their favorite pieces?

Oh those plates, I love them! And your salmon glasses are just beautiful. This was a nice transition.
