Something’s Fishy About this Tablescape

| | | | |
Just outside the breakfast room window at my sweet friend Nancy’s house….

 

 

….and down a few steps….
….is a lovely table on a flagstone patio overlooking a golfcourse.

I wasn’t on a golf course anymore.  I was immediately whisked away to a tropical paradise where turquoise water and white sand abound.
You should have seen the sarong I was wearing! haha

Turquoise, black and white are one of my favorite color combos.

 

The translucent blue stemware reminds me of clear, cool, refreshing water.

Look closer and you’ll little fishies merrily swimming around the candle votives.

The sheer turquoise napkins paired with solid white napkins that are trimmed with rickrack are perfect.

This last shot is looking back toward Nancy’s brand new deck.  I’ll be taking you for a tour of it next week.  You’re gonna fall over!

Thank you, Nancy for allowing me to feature your Fishy Tablescape!

  10. OMG this is beautiful! I can’t help but stray and notice the flagstone patio and the beautiful curved wall! The table is gorgeous! I love those glass fish plates and the votives with the fish- the stemware and the napkins! The black and white really set up the blue coloring so nicely!

  11. This table is stunningly gorgeous!! Wow. Love the colors. Yes, the blue transports one to anywhere watery with warm sun and sandy beaches. I love the plates and the votive cups. Your stemware is the perfect shade. Love this so much! xo marlis
