~~~Dreaming of The Tropics Table~~~


With VERY low temperatures and biting winds outside I am dreaming of warmer climates and tropical breezes!!! So, I have set a table to transport us there!!!
 I kept the green tablecloth on the table and added the rattan place mats for added texture and they remind me of thatched huts:) I also am using a stack of plates which include a set that I got many years ago that have palm trees on them and palm foliage on the dinner plate.
 I put 2 napkins together and corralled them with a simple green and white ring.
 My clear bubble glasses remind me of sparkling waters.
 The leaf bowl resembles the foliage on the plates
 The salad plates have 4 different plam trees on them
 This white raised edge plate is one of my favorites and I wish I could find more of them. WALMART sold them several years ago so if any of you know a source PLEASE let me know!!!
 And this is the dinner plate.
 Of course I am using my palm tree flatware.
 The S and P have a  rattan covering too.
 I placed two matching rattan based candle holders on each side of the Terrarium centerpiece.

 I am LOVING the hutch that Joe made in here!!!!! I can't believe it took me over a year to put it here! What was I thinking?????







 I love being able to sit at the table and see out back and I can even see the clubhouse.


Thanks so much for stopping by. Please let me know you were here with a comment, they make my day! XO, Pinky

  2. Anything green makes me happy this time of year. Sorry you are getting snow again. I don't mind the snow so much because here in Virginia it melts pretty quickly but I am tired of washing the salt off of my car. Come on Spring!!!!

  5. Pinky,
    NOT ready for the tropics here on my side of the Prairie. . .for it is finally SNOWing today!!! It has been all around us, but we seemed to miss it all, except the COLD!!! We are desperate for the moisture...and me, I'm desperate for the beauty it brings!!!
    Your tablescape is stunning!!! Love all the textures within the settings! I'm not sure I've mentioned before, but I love how you set the centerpiece back in this position when it's just you and Joe!!!
    Sending "warm" thoughts your way, dear friend!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  11. Love your trip to the tropics via your table Pinky! I was glad to read your power is back on...BRRRR! I always feel for the linemen and workers who have to go out in the middle of the night or in the cold to respond to emergencies.

    Your Joe is a master craftsman, love your hutch!
