Putting it all in one basket

Posted in Organization, Reinvent It, Shop It, Tabletop on July 22, 2009 | 6 Comments »

Although I try to eat veggies and fruit as much as possible, all too often our weekly produce ends up withering away in our ancient fridge “crisper” drawer.  I spotted a better way to store those fresh peaches and get a summery design kick to the countertop at my stylish friend Marianne’s house this weekend.  Placing produce in a [...]

French Bull Picnic Set

Posted in Inside the Mudroom, Outside, Shop It, Tabletop on June 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Over the weekend I heard a depressing statistic…here in Boston and the surrounding area, we’ve had a grand total of three days of sun in June.  Since we don’t, in fact, live in Seattle, I think enduring the ongoing deluge deserves some sort of medal, or at least this sassy and summery picnic set from French Bull.  [...]

Grosgrain Napkin Rings

Between the family events of last weekend and my little brother’s college graduation tomorrow, entertaining and celebrating have been on my mind.  I love creating beautiful table settings (or “tablescapes” in design-ese), so whenever I see interesting linens, dinnerware or other tabletop accessories, I’m instantly drawn.  My latest table candy?  These colorful (and functional) grosgrain ribbon “belt” napkin [...]

Destination: Les Toiles Du Soleil
