~~~A Pre Spring Table~~~

It all started with a new runner. I found this beautiful runner last week and knew I loved the colors and the design. AND, it was a huge bargain at $7.99! So I grabbed it quickly and started to plan a table. Spring is not quite here in this part of the country but you can tell it is TRYING to break through. We have very cold days and then one warm one to tease us. Well, enough chattering, let's look at the table. I am using these wicker based hurricanes because they go so well with this runner. And the green pillars are the perfect match too!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtkjFYkQgy3fRD0GOTrWu_FoOkJP6RNzu22lQ57u1Z80JdGNTHcGBs0UadNrK1m1azic-_6g9Ox8Burtj5zWjiyp-YA13Zt3eY3npgKqSY1Ny2aklahwzpW5bzgWwDzs5XAW_z9fzc-8U/s1600/IMG_0241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtkjFYkQgy3fRD0GOTrWu_FoOkJP6RNzu22lQ57u1Z80JdGNTHcGBs0UadNrK1m1azic-_6g9Ox8Burtj5zWjiyp-YA13Zt3eY3npgKqSY1Ny2aklahwzpW5bzgWwDzs5XAW_z9fzc-8U/s1600/IMG_0241.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Here is our stack right now. The green napkins are also the perfect green and I just placed them between 2 of the dishes. I have a round rattan charger and on that are my new GLASS chargers that I got the same day as the runner. I LOVE them, they will be so versatile! The salad plates are GORGEOUS and were on clearance at Kirklands! My green flatware completes the picture.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTb7OmtU3t-zqP8xpxvDQdzFtHJNZlBuB1EivyecLET4DkxG_VM9dT8fuxQcGL9egF4E809NwhtlejA79exBUKHJQcPzY9fQbjWaRye-O9kxk4EGh_dqXPL-nN9b33w7jYgRi8M5YxGo/s1600/IMG_0236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTb7OmtU3t-zqP8xpxvDQdzFtHJNZlBuB1EivyecLET4DkxG_VM9dT8fuxQcGL9egF4E809NwhtlejA79exBUKHJQcPzY9fQbjWaRye-O9kxk4EGh_dqXPL-nN9b33w7jYgRi8M5YxGo/s1600/IMG_0236.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-hgejL84x530Ybqpb4CdYqdFt_ED2192AChmU6yYZisppsl7IF_xW8NZWCkzZaUe8ervM5GYY4UBPFCzwcRkKkwDcCxy1x5P1_OqO7se7QQArLWRZcInjWsDc6oSnp6P7_lu94DgVV4U/s1600/IMG_0237.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-hgejL84x530Ybqpb4CdYqdFt_ED2192AChmU6yYZisppsl7IF_xW8NZWCkzZaUe8ervM5GYY4UBPFCzwcRkKkwDcCxy1x5P1_OqO7se7QQArLWRZcInjWsDc6oSnp6P7_lu94DgVV4U/s1600/IMG_0237.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The bubbles in the goblets and the bubbles on the pitcher that is holding some beautiful white tulips from Trader Joe's.

~~~A Winter White Tablesetting~~~

The other day when I redid the morning/breakfast room I decided I should set a new table for us too. I decided to do a "Winter White" table since we have 11 inches of snow outside! But in keeping with all the greens in the room added touches of green too. Hope you like it! I chose dishes that all had lots of texture and pattern. These are not a set, they all came from different places but I love them all together.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1TweU6SA1FPE-eJ7tZw6jOTg048FsMB4FF2msm7NT2QWm43cCcYYnVyBIsJiJRVfoC40Nyf38LKP4AcgVBVgsNKyJr6nT3OXjOulscMfMzy2hsi1CxcDN5q5dvLT2XLgquCJpY110bE/s1600/IMG_1648.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP1TweU6SA1FPE-eJ7tZw6jOTg048FsMB4FF2msm7NT2QWm43cCcYYnVyBIsJiJRVfoC40Nyf38LKP4AcgVBVgsNKyJr6nT3OXjOulscMfMzy2hsi1CxcDN5q5dvLT2XLgquCJpY110bE/s1600/IMG_1648.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> A twiggy ball sits on a tiny green wreath<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA0gBc3y5RTKeXP81zF2ctTIj9aviY8ZdGjBzqfXcyP28eZbV8-ydCiKwMlYvuljnx1Lbq8p32XSAmX7e2UnNBZqhEs2HxDIwGn5rsqLRE1_tMwJz7VOcgctFmnkTQRR5aao2NBIS_M70/s1600/IMG_1649.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA0gBc3y5RTKeXP81zF2ctTIj9aviY8ZdGjBzqfXcyP28eZbV8-ydCiKwMlYvuljnx1Lbq8p32XSAmX7e2UnNBZqhEs2HxDIwGn5rsqLRE1_tMwJz7VOcgctFmnkTQRR5aao2NBIS_M70/s1600/IMG_1649.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> on the side of the terrarium.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnhhXiXAQZGdD9DyQGDezQ0ua2IpdB_Sjw-vAhcrLLQaEW1i7OyFRCw1Z1_HkPu1sIrho8MMM2rEgryUutvHkz_K4dTbv85mv6dy7RorTlQH9b1h_BU9hHE1D4KEa8FGt8XfB5BF-u2Y/s1600/IMG_1650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnhhXiXAQZGdD9DyQGDezQ0ua2IpdB_Sjw-vAhcrLLQaEW1i7OyFRCw1Z1_HkPu1sIrho8MMM2rEgryUutvHkz_K4dTbv85mv6dy7RorTlQH9b1h_BU9hHE1D4KEa8FGt8XfB5BF-u2Y/s1600/IMG_1650.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I just realized that the pattern of the tablecloth has changed in the pictures!

Plus he hurt his backl so I have been carrying all the bins up the stairs and then back down after packing them.

The tree was in here so I am showing you how I put it away and then the morning room dressed down for Winter. Here is a good tip for you. I keep the very top section of the tree decorated and next year I just have to fluff the bows and the berries and sticks and it's good to go!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9IogYi9jN_OPPVvtf0vE-LMDPlYzLGkedd-6dPqTXMEG_Rfw4Ht-YgiKytWvRPQGHq1CD7ciLaksEsNCTuM2BHDLkyFriMH0qb5b5M9luy127NY8W-PO2xAAWYJIbsJmKqF1l5kUzo6I/s1600/IMG_1639.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9IogYi9jN_OPPVvtf0vE-LMDPlYzLGkedd-6dPqTXMEG_Rfw4Ht-YgiKytWvRPQGHq1CD7ciLaksEsNCTuM2BHDLkyFriMH0qb5b5M9luy127NY8W-PO2xAAWYJIbsJmKqF1l5kUzo6I/s1600/IMG_1639.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I also fold the tree skirt and tulle and place it in the box too.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1QFq2-yacM1Ku3OZFasgGvOxO2YBRlsSPtK7LG1wja1Rb2UQqc0sla3QI82EgzsRsRwBgnbd4bMR8wil_Ww0ZqYuun6C_03AAuL5nqJcVzHNfdoi3m6dIZ0SjP9eXQdjBcF_2L_wrK4/s1600/IMG_1641.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn1QFq2-yacM1Ku3OZFasgGvOxO2YBRlsSPtK7LG1wja1Rb2UQqc0sla3QI82EgzsRsRwBgnbd4bMR8wil_Ww0ZqYuun6C_03AAuL5nqJcVzHNfdoi3m6dIZ0SjP9eXQdjBcF_2L_wrK4/s1600/IMG_1641.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> There you go, all closed up and ready to store til next year!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z9yRMEBdpnjJfVqmojnJOMOGJawWaq6qwDXNCjvn8MtGOgjgoQDqHO0aAQSc1pxVwu3hoAm7erL0abk1KuU1iIbozHfM2NzPT8r-VkGM9rHhHMPJfBCwGlL48fbzySciGolp8yN-Jjg/s1600/IMG_1640.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Z9yRMEBdpnjJfVqmojnJOMOGJawWaq6qwDXNCjvn8MtGOgjgoQDqHO0aAQSc1pxVwu3hoAm7erL0abk1KuU1iIbozHfM2NzPT8r-VkGM9rHhHMPJfBCwGlL48fbzySciGolp8yN-Jjg/s1600/IMG_1640.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Now here are the "bare bones" of the room all cleaned and vacummed.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlKygLgPoanteBbMCXNxJBN9ewwpNxyzKBP8UouD-xyNxTmbeBirZ5BsFRLds_wtrayfn5xJY4Vgj7wJVJ8bv5WCNUOVfa4qcgkka1WZGs44JulujgARK6FnraXwZuunzI1HhBTxT3GU/s1600/IMG_1642.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlKygLgPoanteBbMCXNxJBN9ewwpNxyzKBP8UouD-xyNxTmbeBirZ5BsFRLds_wtrayfn5xJY4Vgj7wJVJ8bv5WCNUOVfa4qcgkka1WZGs44JulujgARK6FnraXwZuunzI1HhBTxT3GU/s1600/IMG_1642.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I have set a "Winter White" table with touches of greens that I will share tomorrow.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaYkLkL0hg7Sz2FL7rFYWsq-m5GzMPyZ0_e3pwctCey8c6XI9TS5xjo4rrNVx69avWrrm541T2qubgJk0VKPeNCJmUoG78On0_plZRBF2m6NKcteAxqfmHqjK2zPInVOksb0pBWM5p_qM/s1600/IMG_1643.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaYkLkL0hg7Sz2FL7rFYWsq-m5GzMPyZ0_e3pwctCey8c6XI9TS5xjo4rrNVx69avWrrm541T2qubgJk0VKPeNCJmUoG78On0_plZRBF2m6NKcteAxqfmHqjK2zPInVOksb0pBWM5p_qM/s1600/IMG_1643.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I have chosen to concentrate on a soothing green color palette for Winter.
