I’m so excited to spend some quality time with my family tomorrow and enjoy an Easter feast! Not known to be the best cook in the family, I’m always responsible for setting the table.

This year I’m going for a chic, rustic, vintage vibe.  Here’s what I’m thinking…

I love the look of this fringed linen napkin with the aged silverware

This table runner has an abstract print that gives it a modern feel, but the burlap base keeps it looking rustic.

Something about Easter always makes me want to combine pink and blue.  These blue serving utensils will look lovely popped against the pink in the table runner!

Keeping with the vintage/rustic theme… I absolutely LOVE this pink waffle depression glass stemware!

How great is this dinnerware?  It definitely helps to tie in the pink and blue color scheme.

Lastly, so as not to upset my grandmother… a little traditional easter decor

Looking to add a little old world elegance to your space?  Try toile!

Originating in Europe, and popular in American Colonial design, toile is a traditional yet anything but boring design aesthetic.  It’s a great way to add a healthy dose of personality to your space.

Wondering how to incorporate it into your space… I’m so glad you asked:

1. Wallpaper – How fab is this bathroom?!? Traditional yet modern. {source}

2. Dinnerware – The toile design aesthetic is perfect for a formal dining room, but if you have commitment issues, dinnerware is the perfect option. {source}

3. Furniture – This custom wallpapered dresser exudes femininity and I’m loving it! {source}

4. Accessories – Another non-committal option is accessorizing with toile.  This wastebasket is perfect for a guest bathroom or bedroom.  I especially love the mixing of traditional toile with asian design. {source}

5. Headboard – Nothing says girly like a pink toile headboard.  How great would this be for a little girl’s room?!? {source}

Fine Dining

A few weeks ago, I came across this beautiful Jonathan Adler table, and instantly fell in love.

This table is such a statement piece, it begs to have an entire space designed around it… and that’s exactly what I’ve chosen to do.  This beautiful table sets the tone for a contemporary and luxe space.

I’ve chosen a stone, cream and navy blue color palette to play off of the marble top and gold base.  Because the table is round and seats 6, I opted for chairs with low-profile arms. I really lucked out and found a beautiful chandelier that mimics the design of the table’s base. In order to not take any attention away from the table, I chose a simple sideboard in a stone color that will play off of the color in the marble table top.  Lastly, I found dishes, wallpaper and accessories that help complete the space. So here it is…

Clockwise from top left: 1. Wallpaper; Graham & Brown | 2. Rattan Charger; Crate & Barrel | 3. Dinnerware; Amazon | 4. Chandelier; Zinc Door | 5. Gilded Tray; Layla Grayce | 6. Framed Fabric; Layla Grayce | 7. Dining Chair; Zinc Door | 8. Dragon Serving Platter; All Modern | 9. Dining Table; Wayfair | 10. Sideboard; Dwell

Now that’s what I call fine dining!
