design. simplified.
The word tablescape in itself sounds elaborate and intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be a stressful part of playing hostess this year. I’ve put together several combos for your Thanksgiving table all built around the basic white plate. Take any of these combinations and add a little greenery or some fresh cut branches and you–and your table–are all set.
Another quick change around our house–this time, in our entryway. I bought this tiny vanity for one of the girls’ rooms several years ago at a thrift store and it has been in our attic ever since. I’ve always loved the look of a basket tucked under a table in an entry and it suddenly hit me that I had just the right piece to create a new vignette at the foot of our stairs.
The lamp is a Ralph Lauren from HomeGoods, and I finally bought the pagoda from Ballard Designs. (The black chest found a new home in our powder room.)
See my last quick change post here.
And, see our blue and white entryway “before and after” here.
I’m following up my post about peel and stick wallpaper for kids’ rooms with more pretty patterns that I think would be perfect for a powder room. There are several reasons I think wallpaper is a perfect option for a powder room. They’re small so less paper is required, and they can handle a “big” pattern since there won’t be much of it. And if you have a really open floor plan, you can still do something special with a powder room since it’s its own space. It doesn’t necessarily have to flow with everything else. Go crazy. Pick the zebras. ;)
