Sharing my blue and yellow summer and fall tablescape that's a perfect decor transition into fall and autumn

Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape

I set this Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape a few weeks ago for a family gathering, and I really love how it all came together! I had a lot of these colors in my kitchen and dining area from my summer decor, and I think these colors also work great for a decor transition into fall!

Summer into Fall Decor

I am never quite ready for summer to end and fall to arrive, so maybe that's why I always do a Summer-into-fall transitional tablescape. I had found these yellow and blue plates at HomeGoods and literally went to every HomeGoods store in my area to find them. I never found enough of them for ten place-settings, so I used one of my favorite tricks to create enough place-settings for my table.

Black, Yellow, and White Cabin Tablescape

Black, Yellow, and White Cabin Tablescape

Every summer we spend a few weeks at our little cabin in the Pioneer Mountains of southwest Montana. One of my favorite things to do when we arrive is to set a new tablescape at the cabin. I don't have a lot of black and darker colors in my decor at my other homes, so look forward to setting the table at our cabin when I can use darker colors in my tablescapes. This Black, Yellow, and White Cabin Tablescape was so much fun to create and I love how warm and cozy it is.

The Inspiration for the Tablescape

I always find something that inspires each tablescape I create. As I mentioned earlier, our cabin has a lot of dark, rustic, colors and and the dining table and chairs are black. I love gingham and checkered patterns and when I found these ruffled gingham round placemats at Homegoods, I knew immediately that I would use them at the cabin. I also found these

Beehive Themed Party Tablescape

Since Utah is the Beehive State, today I am sharing my bee themed party tablescape inspiration featuring all things beehive!

We live part time in Utah and one of the things I love most about this state is Pioneer Day, which is celebrated on July 24th every year! Utah is the Beehive State and it represents industry and people working together, much like bee's work together to build their beehive. This is where my Bee Themed Party Tablescape inspiration came from.

 When the Mormon pioneers journeyed west in the mid 1800's to settle in Utah, they all worked together to help one another survive. Some of those courageous people were my great grandparents and I feel a deep appreciation for the hardships they faced while starting a new life in what was and still is a desert.

Life was not easy for them and many had been driven from their homes

The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday besides Christmas. I absolutely love decorating with red, white, and blue and celebrating with friends and family. I'm sharing my Fourth of July Party Tablescape Ideas and all the details of how I set it all up.

I actually set up and photographed two different versions of this table because I was asked to be on a local TV station to share my scones and honey butter recipe and a patriotic tablescape. We taped the show three weeks before so I had to create it twice! I'm sharing all the photos of both set ups so you can see a few different variations here.

I am very patriotic and my country means a great deal to me. I have always

Mother’s Day Luncheon | Hosting Your Mom For Mother’s Day

Dinnerware, Entertaining, Holidays, Parties, party themes, Tablescapes ·

Hosting a Mother's Day Luncheon is a great way to honor and show our love to the mothers and women who make our world a better place.

I wanted to gather the women in my life who have inspired or uplifted me and what better way to do that then hosting a Mother's Day luncheon.

For the decorations, I went with a pastel color palette and set three different tables and a separate dessert table.

The Pink and White Table

For the Pink Table, I used fresh eucalyptus and pink spray roses to create the garland and centerpiece. I layered the garland on top of a white table runner. I typically use this table outdoors in the summer but it works great for the indoors too.

For the Pink Place-setting, I used pink and white dishes, a pink napkin, silver flatware, and glass goblets.

The Robins Egg Blue
