A sunny yellow Waechtersbach dinner
plate sits front and center. The yellow plate is then topped with a salad
plate by Fiestaware in the “Meadow” color, topped by a Pfaltzgraff Naturewood salad plate that peeks out from behind faux greenery just
enough to feel like it’s emerging from the underbrush. .PNG)

Gold flatware adds a quiet sparkle, while crisp green napkins from
Amazon and Winston Porter Knizair Glass butter dishes from Wayfair complete
each place setting with effortless charm. .PNG)

Tucked in amongst the plates is a small black iron lizard that I got from
Pottery Barn. It has a small glass insert so it can be used as a salt cellar,
but I love it just the way it is. .PNG)

No iguanas were harmed (or even invited), but the spirit of that bold little
lizard is very much present. .jpg)

Such a unique and fun theme! This reminded me of our last trip to Bermuda, after dinner the little lizard that was spying on us hopped onto my dinner plate to nibble on the leftover crumbs! Your table is bursting with color and I would enjoy a seat here!
Pattie your table reminds me of my home here in Florida, We have little lizards, geckos, iguanas and yes, even Nile Monitor lizards. We even have pythons...yucky. Most are not native but have been brought in and released and they love this climate. I don't mind the little geckos as they go after insects. I have the very same stoneware pitcher vase you have on your table and I love it and use it in vignettes frequently....and aren't those small table lamps just perfect for any occasion? I have them in gold but I love yours in black and may have to order them too. Your table is unique and so interesting. The colors are gorgeous. And yes, I even like your little black lizard though I would move him before dinner.🥰 Have a wonderful Summer.
This is gorgeous Pattie! The Spoonflower fabric is fabulous! I love every thing about this table, including your inspiration. We do draw ideas from many things, right? This color scheme is perfectly coordinated. You are a genius!
Patti,e this is certainly a fun setting for summer. I like all the details from the fabulous fabric to everything on table. My garden space is full of geckos, and I am fascinated with them. They are not the least frightened of me, and stop and listen when I talk to them. They are so bright and are a fun to observe as they crawl across the plants, the terrace railings, and even my alfresco dining tables. Happy Summer, Pattie.
You are so creative. The table looks amazing and you see something different everywhere you look. I love it.
Patti, such a fun and colorful table. I remember that film. The fabric from Spoonflowers is lovely with your plate stack. The Villeroy and Boch glasses are so pretty. Love using gold flatware. The mini table lamps are so perfect for tablescapes. Always a pleasure joining you. Happy summer.
Pattie, your pretty table setting captures my favorite combination of elegance and whimsy--I love the fun theme and colorful accents! Happy Summer!
Pattie, this is a fun way to celebrate summer. I love when inspiration arrives in an unexpected way! The yardage sets the perfect stage for your theme. The plate stack is wonderful with the sunny yellow plate and the F&F appetizer plate. Faux grass filling the stoneware pitcher and the sleek cordless lamps provide a lovely centerpiece. Wishing you a wonderful summer filled with beautiful tables!
Pattie, this is a richly gorgeous combination of elements and color! Having just returned from a vacation in the tropics, the iguanas were scurrying about continuously, and many of the colors matched exactly with the sea and the flora. That plate stack is gorgeous. The chargers almost look like jadeite, and I have admired that F&F Toulouse pattern for some time. But that fabric with your table light accents really pull it all together so well. I am adoring those individual butter dishes! Butter pats are having their day in the vintage and antique world, and command good prices. I have a collection I can't seem to let go of, I think they're just so darling in their petite size and patterns, but yours with the domes are all that and more!
Thank you for bringing your creativity to the table and sharing what gets the juices flowing for ideas for a tablescape. This makes a great summer table!
Pattie! What a creative theme that you have carried out so wonderfully!!! My son who breeds & raises reptiles (Mostly geckos) would love this table!! I love the fabulous jungle kind of feel of the vibrant colors and the lush greenery. Very Cool!! I can see where you got the inspiration from that gorgeous, fun fabric for the table cloth!! You complimented it so well with all of your choices. I hope you have a summer as cool as this table!!! ☀️🦎❤️
The colors in your tablescape are gorgeous, Patti, and definitely bring to mind a former trip to Bermuda. Loved all the blues and greens in such vibrant tones. Inspiration does come from many sources and your tablescape is proof. The gorgeous tablecloth is the perfect choice on which to build. I hope you have a. lovely summer filled with glorious color and fun events.

What a beautiful table!
Pattie, your Night of the Iguana tablescape is so creative! What a fun interpretation of the theme, and I loved every exotic, tropical detail. The lush greenery, vibrant colors, and unique accessories transport me to a faraway destination and create such a sense of adventure. Your ability to tell a story through a table is always inspiring, and this one is especially imaginative and fun. As always, it’s a treat to hop with you!
Oh my goodness! I love it! So summery and fun. I love the Spoonflower fabric couldn't be anymore perfect! You brought the iguana spirit without the iguana! Your place settings are lovely with the bright yellow, green and soft turquoise Pfaltzgraff plates. It could just be the photos, but it almost seems like the flower on the plate is textured. And your centrepiece is right up my lane! Simple grasses in a gorgeous stoneware pitcher. Love it!
Pattie, you win for most unique tablescape! I love the colors and the theme...fabulous!
Oh my gosh Pattie - this is a fabulously creative table that you have created here! What a unique theme and you've carried to perfection. The Spoonflower fabric is divine and I love the plate stack with it's sunny yellow, green, and turquoise colors. I also love the faux leaves around the plates - what a great idea and I may just have to borrow that sometime. I adore the butter pats - such a classy detail. I hope you enjoy a fabulous meal at this wonderful table and wishing you a very happy summer!
