table dressing

As a food lover, one of the first things I start thinking about before the holidays is how to dress my table. I have to admit that mine doesn't look as fancy as the ones below, but I like choosing a theme and a certain colour. This year, there will be tulips and a reindeer, maybe a white one, and I'm thinking about the colour purple.

Here are some ideas.

  2. I love beautifully decorated tables. Please recreate and spread the love!

    My son (5 y.o.) is especially fond of the 3rd image; he says it's like what they do in palaces ;-)

  3. Such beautifully decorated tables!
    But what caught my eye most of all in this post was the raw wooden table in the 4th picture - I need one!

  8. Tables like these remind me of my late grandmother who was a really classy lady and bit of a snob, haha. She had cups in various colours with gold rims, so beautiful. I remember admiring them and her table dressing so much.
