Nothing to me says Summer quite like sunflowers. I love the yellow against the black and the white Mackenzie Child’s Courtly check!
The drapes are pulled because it is HOT out. 100 degrees! Too hot for me.
I’ve slowly been expanding my courtly check collection. It all started with these candle sticks. Then the placemats and napkin rings. The pitcher is new this year.
A sunny table for a sunny day!
I actually had a dream about creating this table. I guess you could say I dreamt it up – literally! Sometimes some of my best design ideas come from my dreams in my sleep. Does that happen to you? 
It happens to my Mom too, in fact, we call it “Schlafkreativ” – meaning sleeping creativity in German. We made up that word, btw, but in German you can make up words by adding words together, no, really! It’s called compound German words. If you’re curious, you can read all about German compound words here.
Okay, back to the table. I decided to leave the white tablecloth underneath the placemats to make a nice white base for the black and white check.
Love this little pitcher I bought earlier this year! You can totally use it for serving… but I have only used it as a vase so far!

Unfortunately the candlesticks were discontinued but they still have candlesticks for taper candles.
oops I forgot to include glasses/goblets on the table, didn’t notice until just now! See, blogland isn’t always perfect!
Hope you have a lovely day! I’d love it if you’d pin the image below!
This is lovely. I liked this farmhouse sunflower table. Thanks for sharing this post.

Don’t they?! I love the look
Oh it is gorgeous! Every piece of your McCh collection is to die for. I have a pitcher and two pumpkins that are DIY though, not original and I still love them !
The sunflowers really pop out beautifully. I have just posted a table with sunflowers and plates too.
