Dishes with Sense and Sensibility

Last year I had the honor of receiving a phone call from Kissing Camels Garden Club requesting a recreation my Sense and Sensibility Tablescapes they had the opportunity to see the previous year. 


With the Holidays upon us this is the perfect time to share this tablescape inspired by the Jane Austin novel, Sense and Sensibility


Fall colors of rich browns, lime greens and white.


Layers of fabrics, porcelain, glass and metals.


Place card holders of the characters from the book.

Hardback books are part of the centerpiece and pages of the novel are printed, rolled and tied with grosgrain ribbon.


A serving table carries the same theme of brown and white pumpkins. Fall leaves, cats tail and green pears are carefully placed.


Place the unexpected in a cloche.


Add varying heights for serving pieces by stacking books.



Never leave a burning candle unattended. 


Every tablescape requires some sort of candlelight.


A feast for the eye of the reader.

Tender Shoots of Green, Pantone Green

Recently a number of Wesco Fabric's client/designers, including myself, were asked to share what we felt would be a "go to" 2013 color and featured on GentryConnects Blog.  

I am not shy when it comes to color and can talk about this subject 
all day long.

This is what I have to I say on the subject...

Forecasters have seen the prediction of colors for 2013 in their crystal ball.  One in particular, Pantone a world renowned authority on color, gives us their report of what to expect.

I'd have to agree on one of their future picks, Tender Shoots 14-0446.  After seeing the runway fashions in NYC of Fashion Week Spring 2013, this lighter shade of a yellowy green walked the walk. 

Diane Von Furstenberg brings to life shades of flowing chartreuse for the world to see and wear.  With the obvious focus on Fashion+Decor within the apparel and home furnishing markets, the two certainly influence each other.

Bringing the two industries together in a mood board, these Tender Shoots of greens convey a  feeling of working together in harmony.  If you're in a green mood, try these Wesco Fabrics for something fresh; (top to bottom) 
Eastwood-Mineral, Fun and Frolic-Spring Green, 
Madagascar-Tropics. 

I suspect we will be seeing green come Spring.  
What's your crystal ball say?

Tomorrow I will be at the Wesco Fabrics showroom enjoying the Motorized Haute Couture Runday and Line Showing.  This is an exciting roll out of brand new fabrics and creative window treatments inspired by runway fashions.  I will be sharing photos later in the week.

Viable Vintage

I love this sitting area, perfect for reading a book, catching up on facebook or my favorite, blogging!























Jeffers Design Group created this whimsical corner with a lovely conbination of greens, blues, tans and yellows.  What a great mix of vintage pieces from the 1950's-1970's.

Green Goes...

The final color in Snob's Top Ten 2010 Paint Colors is... Winding Vines 532 - Benjamin Moore.






















An olive shade of green, very similar to a shade in my own home.

To me this is also a neutral shade.  I see this just as neutral as brown, tan and grey.

 
Yummy... green can be delicious.

 
Pin green.
 
 

Wear green...

  
 
Play green.

  
  
  
 
  
  
Paint furniture green.

 
A third color... green.
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 

Green goes.
