Tablescape Tuesday: The Next Best Thing

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'””
‭‭John‬ ‭7:38‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends…and welcome back to our dining room!  Are you enjoying fall like we are?  Today I thought we would celebrate the cooler autumn weather with a dinnerware pattern that you have never seen!  And before you ask…no, I haven’t bought new china!  Actually this isn’t even mine!  Let me explain.  I loved this Tracy Porter pattern called “Marseille” as soon as it came out.  I knew I wanted it, but I already owned the “Artesian Road” pattern…and could not justify buying more dishes.  So I did the next best thing….I bought the china and put it away for my son and his future wife!  So the spotlights of today’s table are only on loan from my daughter-in-love.  I just love the pattern’s vibrant colors for fall!
  
I enjoy the warmth of the mahogany dining table, so I didn’t use a tablecloth…only woven placemats and a table runner.

For the centerpiece, I used a treasured dough bowl  filled with velvet pumpkins and nandina cut from my garden.

Rattan chargers provide texture for the dinner and salad plates.

The velvet pumpkins highlight the colors found in the “Marseille” dinnerware.


A pair of faux antler candlestands flank the centerpiece.


Pheasant feathers fill copper mugs

I loved using this pretty china and hope you enjoyed seeing it!

Proverbs 25:11

  1. What pretty dishes and you have styled the table beautifully. I love the pheasant feathers and copper accents. Your dough bowl filled with velvet pumpkins pulls all the colors nicely. I actually made some velvet pumpkins last week! Now, if you knew me better you would be shocked. I am not much of a DIYer! It was fun after I got started.
    Enjoyed your table. Love all the colors!

  10. Very pretty and so festive for Thanksgiving. I marvel at the art of tablescapes because I just don’t have the items to create one. I love what others create though!

  15. The mix of color, pattern and texture is always going to be a winner with me, and the complementary velvet pumpkins couldn’t be more perfect. I keep thinking I’m going to make some of those, but I’m still thinking.

  16. I love this setting and the room! Rich jewel colors are my favorites, but we don’t see them often in homes. I’m a wee bit tired of white and grey interiors….beautiful as they are.
