I posted a picture on Instagram recently of a lavender table setting I put together several years ago – and I thought, oh! I should make another one!

I love using lavender in my decor. All of this lavender I dried from our garden!

The trick to drying lavender is to harvest your lavender just before it is about to bloom!

I dry the lavender in my closet! It provides a nice aroma and keeps moths away.

I stuck lavender in these mini glass candle holders. Some earthquake hold inside keeps the lavender propped up.

The grapes are also from the garden… the first year we have enjoyed any grapes! Did you know California is the world’s fourth largest grape producer? Well, wine grapes, that is. These ones are table grapes!

Growing grapes is not easy – you have to spray for flies and mold. And then you have to fight the birds!

You may have noticed the grapes and bread are served on antique purple transfer ware.

Now, instead of a baguette we have slices of San Francisco Sourdough – this is California, after all. That’s why I like to sometimes call my style California French Farmhouse!

I used vintage ribbons as napkin rings.

Can I confess though, that this table was not set for a party! It was set for my family.

I would have set for just four of us but then the table looks silly when it is only set halfway!

Do you ever set the table “just” for your family?

Why should we set tables for parties? They should be set every day, if I had it my way.

I also love these scalloped plates I got at Williams Sonoma earlier this year!!

I hope you all enjoyed this farmhouse table.

This is just my ideal style – a touch of France, a touch of farmhouse, and a touch of California!

Farmhouse Patriotic Table Setting

In this post – a Farmhouse Patriotic Table Setting for Fourth of July and Independence Day Decorations

I love setting tables – especially for holidays but I find that frequently patriotic tables appear too kitschy in my opinion.

For this patriotic table I was inspired by the antique transfer ware plates that usually sit in the cabinet or hanging on the walls.

This patriotic table has a little more muted colors of the flag – light reds and pinks replace the bold red that is usually present.

I chose peonies for this table, because one they are my favorite flower, and two, they kind of reminded me of fireworks!

A trio of goblets (for red wine, white wine, and water if you are going super formal) also echo the red, white and blue on our flag.

Vintage zinc lanterns are perfect for this farmhouse patriotic table.

Yes, the transferware plates are there for looks – the real plate that everyone eats off of is the scalloped edge white plate below – a new find from Aerin for Williams Sonoma.

You can create a patriotic table that has simple elegance – I kept it less formal by using burlap chargers and leaving out the table cloth!

This table can easily be translated for outdoor dining as well.

I’ve included sources for you for the new items – the rest are all antique or vintage or I cannot find the source!

Blue Goblets

Hopefully this table inspired you to create a beautiful patriotic table in your home too.

My favorite thing this week was looking at all of these pretty coastal table settings! I have never really decorated with the coastal theme in mind, so I am finding all of these refreshing for the Summer! Speaking of Summer, can you believe it is August already??

I’m digging this coastal themed table complete with a sailboat from the Sweet Sensations!

I love this large clam shell that Designs by Pinky has filled with years of shell collecting treasures… isn’t is pretty?

I love the centerpiece here from Dining Delight – it looks like a nice catch from the ocean!

I love this table (complete with a net) from Olla Podrida – she even gave it a fun name “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”.

Summer French Table Setting

I have assembled my first tablescape after the big move! I was inspired by the beautiful roses that are blooming here, the orange topiaries, and my new French burlap fabric I bought!

This post may contain affiliate links

I put a freshly picked rose on each place setting. It’s not just to look at – pick it up and take a little sniff and you’ll be treated with the most pleasant smelling rose!

These are David Austin roses and they smell heavenly!

I saw a very similar table runner in Napa recently but they wanted $100. I found very similar fabric at a fabric store and bought it for $6/yard. I intended to make placemats with it but I think I like it as a runner for now!

I put one of my madeleine anduze candle pots in the center. It has a really nice fragrance. Purchased these at Pierre Deux years ago (RIP).

I like the Frenchie Summer feeling of this table. The cups and plates are from Williams-Sonoma. The cups are printed in French with fruits on them.

A pretty little collage that is pin-worthy for you 🙂

Lavender French Country Table Setting

I’ve been inspired by my recent trip to France to make this simple French country table setting!

Lavender French Country table with burlap, dried lavender, purple goblets - Peonies and Orange Blossoms

French country tablescape

Dried lavender from my parent’s garden is in the Le Lapin French water pitcher.

At each place setting there are two simple pieces of lavender with name card holders made from wine corks. For this setting, I put down my favorite Parisian bakery/pastry shop names to remind me of my trip!

The wine cork place name card holders were actually used at my wedding. Needless to say I used to have about 120 of them… all made by my Dad (thanks Dad!)

A look from the head of the table… the faux-lavender in the anduze pot is from one of my favorite shops in St. Helena (in the Napa valley).

I like how my Juliska purple goblets go with the lavender.

I love the simplicity of this French country feeling table with the lavender and burlap. It was so easy to set up.
