↔️BE SURE TO SWIPE!↔️ Cinco de Mayo on our cul-de-sac has become a “thing” now for neighbors to reconnect after long, harsh winter months cooped up indoors. We set up our tables (separated thanks to COVID🙄), one VERY gracious household does the margaritas & music, and we all bring food. A fully vaccinated group of 6 of us got to sit together tonight! And I provided take home dessert favors of homemade snickerdoodles and copycat Sara Lee Pound Cake. This was my quickie (and VERY colorful!) tablescape and side table! The hand painted rooster glasses bought at a recent garage sale (just $10 for 8!!!) were the jumping off point. #cincodemayo #cincodemayotablescape #gerberadaisy #fauxflowers #succulents #tableforsix #roosterdecor #artdevivreinstyle #colorfultablescape #blockparty

↔️↔️Besure to swipe for more pics! Springtime In Paris” would be a fabulous way to spend Mother’s Day. I’ll just be right here at home in ol’ middle America, though, probably piddling around in the yard. I created this brunch buffet tablescape about 10 years ago for my very first class when teaching tablescaping through the community college. #buffettabledecor #mothersdaydecor #mothersday #buzzfeedstyle #instastyle #parisiandecor #springtimeinparis #eiffeltowerdecor #brunchtable #artdevivreinstyle #butterflydecor #pinkroses #fauxflowers #silvercakestand #pinkpinkpink

Marty Robbins. Anyone? Anyone? 🎶”A white sport coat, and a pink carnation.”🎶 And now you’ll be humming that ALL DAY! You’re welcome!😈 The late, great designer Joe Nye and I both have a soft spot for carnations, especially pink ones. The brilliant blooms check all the boxes: gorgeous✅, fragrant✅, textural✅, and affordable✅✅✅!!! This Mother’s Day tablescape featuring vintage-look Joseph Sedgh “Floral Blush” china and a marching band of fluffy, fragrant pink carnations would, I think, make Joe proud. ↔️Be sure to swipe for more pics, or visit the blog, tabletwentyone.blog!

Let me just start with this: BOURBON ROCKS🥃!!! Neat, up, or on the rocks...it ROCKS! I’ve “been forced to” taste a lot of varieties over the past several days to ensure the right ones for our juleps (Knob Creek 9 Year Single Barrel was a clear and decisive winner!) and whiskey sours (it was Old Forester by a nose over Elijah Craig Small Batch). The tablescape for Saturday just fell into place with the seersucker/pinstripe runner (think gentleman’s dapper suit at the Derby!), the fabulous Kate Spade for Lenox “Rutherford Circle Navy” dishes, the red roses 🌹 in trophy vases, and the horses, of course!🏇And cake. There WILL BE red velvet cake on Saturday!!! ↔️Swipe for more pics and/or visit my blog (link in bio)!!! #kentuckyderby #kentuckyderbystyle #kentuckyderbyparty #instastyle #buzzfeedstyle #katespade #bourbonrocks #artdevivreinstyle #fauxflowers #tableforsix #entertainingathome #tabletopdecor #tabletopstyling #pinstripes #gracesteaware

I’ve posted a couple of super energetic Cinco de Mayo tablescapes, but this one from a few years back is considerably more subdued. It’s a quiet nod to the holiday...or any laid back summer celebration. #cincodemayoparty #cincodemayo2021 #mexicanstyle #tableforsix #entertainingathome #buzzfeedstyle #instastyle #tabletop #southoftheborderstyle #sunflowers #sunflowerdecor #succulents #succulentcenterpiece #tabletopstyling #artdevivreinstyle

The colorful sights, fragrant smells, lively sounds, and decadent tastes of Cinco de Mayo are on the horizon! I like to create an atmospheric tablescape that truly celebrates the day. Reaching back into the archives for this creation, I went full tilt with scads of color from the serape table covering, the dishware, and the fresh fruits and vegetables in the centerpiece. Spiky ornamental cabbages, pepper clusters and succulents arranged in an austere aluminum container takes center stage with a brilliant orange tray as backdrop. I used corn husks for seating cards. #cincodemayo #cincodemayoparty #southoftheborder #tablescapestyling #tablescapes #latininspired #buzzfeedstyle #instastyle #ornamentalcabbage #serape #colorful #tableforsix #cornhusk #artdevivreinstyle
