Tablescape Thursday - Gray Areas


This week I'm doing a simple table of gray and white.  The placesettings are pretty streamlined and the table decor is minimal, but I love the effect.  A touch of greenery from the tulips and I'm calm just looking at this table!


I picked up a bunch of tulips from my local grocery store for a mere $10!



These little darlings were a Big Lots find.  Don't you love that store??







Tablecloth:  Amazon.com
Napkins, basket: Tuesday Morning
Bird figurines: Big Lots
Flatware: Pottery Barn
Gray dishes: Dillards
White dishes: Sur La Table

  4. What a amazing textures, Lori! From the bumpy surface of the tulip's vase to the horizontal lines of the blinds & those great textiles used on the chair & table...outstanding!
    Your dishes are very striking, too. They look more cocoa brown than gray on my monitor, but whatever color, they're wonderful.

  17. I prefer tables that are not quite so loaded with "stuff." Classic, adult and elegant.
