Tuesday Tablescape – Reminiscing on Summer

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Now that fall is here, we are reminiscing the summer time. So for Tuesday Tablescape we’re all about tables that remind us of summertime this week. For a casual outdoor picnic or a summer birthday party, a few summery accents can create a tablescape perfect for the season. Don’t forget the lighting fixtures for nighttime occasions to make your table shine.

This tablescape by Bunny Williams is casual, yet elegant. The silver water pitcher and small succulents in terracotta pots are lovely.

The fern frond tied to a waffle textured white napkin is a fantastic, simple addition that adds a lot of style to the place setting. The pale, silvery blue charger against the faded wood table top is a nice contrast.

This picnic of mixed china, simple glassware and simple flowers on a farmhouse table surrounded by mismatched dining chairs has a bohemian feeling. Hang a beautiful outdoor lighting fixture on top for a good vibe.

White outdoors feels crisp and cool. This outdoor tablescape was designed by Chelsea Fuss of {frolic!}. The palest of greens is lovely as an accent.

Another tablescape by Chelsea Fuss of {frolic!} that we saw on The Kitchn includes several things we love for summer entertaining: large mason jars for water, smaller jars for drinks either lemonade or cocktails, and a wire cover to protect foods from insects.

We’re loving this table cloth made by Centsational Girl’s own Kate, from ‘Richloom Wizard’ found at Joann’s fabrics. Kate was inspired by one at Anthropologie. She even has instructions on her blog!

The eclectic mix of serving pieces on this rustic table is terrific. What a selection of finger foods and beverages. A mix of garden flowers is the perfect arrangement for this casual buffet table.

Dreamy Whites (via)

This dining room from Dreamy Whites blog feels like summer in France. Crushing on the linen runner and vintage bottles as bud vases, and of course, the lilacs. Add pendant lights in this lovely space for a dreamy ambiance.

Illuminating Dinners With Buffet Table Lamps

Monday, March 7th, 2011

There is something sweet and romantic about the dim illumination of buffet table lamps. From a regular dinner, the mood suddenly turns into something quite extraordinary. With the right style and design, even the simplest of dinners can have the look and feel of a five-star restaurant. Would you not want to experience that kind of class every dinner time?

This wonderful home décor idea should not only be limited to your nightly dinners. How about those dinner parties during that each homeowner love to have? It could be birthday parties, anniversaries, Christmas, Thanksgiving or just a plain get together with friends. But wherever there is food served, buffet table lamps will bring out the extraordinaire in you.

But of course, style demands harmony, perfection, and correctness in choice. Just as how beautiful a Valentino gown can be ruined by a wrong choice of belt or shoes, a wrong lamp will not make a dinner magical. Worse, it could simply be an eye sore.

So how do you go about selecting the right lamp to illuminate your nightly dinners and occasional parties? When it comes to buffet table lamps, here are some of the qualities that you want to look for:

Simple Extravagance

Always keep this standard in mind: the lamp is there to make the presentation of the dishes more beautiful by complementing them, not by upstaging or overwhelming them. If the lamp is too grandiose and laden with strong accents and designs, it will steal all the glory from the dinner.

To make sure that the buffet table lamp you choose is there to make the night more enjoyable, go for those that feature simplicity in terms of extravagance. It should be stylish, but not too shabby.

Dim Illumination

Especially for dinner tables, a lamp with too strong a light will only be a hindrance rather than a complementing figure. Expectedly, dinner rooms will have major sources of illumination such as fluorescent bulbs. It is not the job of buffet lamps to make things easier to see. It is there to add an atmosphere of romance and elegance.

So when choosing the right lamp for your dining area, go for those that illuminate in a dimmer sense. Of course, most lamps will have adjustable brightness but it can help to reduce the brightness if you go for lamps that have more solid and less transparent globes.

Wonder Of Candlelight

Modern lamps are exciting with their rich designs and fascinating details. However, there is still perhaps nothing that can beat the candlelight illumination when it comes to bringing out an atmosphere of romance.

Imagine a candlelight dinner every single night. That would be like a dream come true. And you will get to enjoy it every night with your beloved family. And candlelight lamps do not have to be morbidly classical. You can now find lamps that feature a contemporary style.

So just keep these things in mind and surely, every meal time will be a magical experience to have. Let your imagination run wild and you will instinctively find the right one.
