CHAIRISH: Holiday Entertaining

If you haven't been introduced to Chairish yet.... let me do the honors!

"Awesome Blog Reader, meet Chairish."

"Chairish, meet Awesome Blog Reader."

Now let me tell you a little more about Chairish.

It's an online consignment marketplace for designed obsessed people [can you see why I love it?!?!]. 

Not only can you buy online, but you can sell your awesome and exceptional pre-owned home accessories and furnishing through them. AWESOMENESS! 

Honest... to goodness... Vintage Furniture at its finest.

So... I was inevitably tickled pink when Chairish reached out to me to design a holiday table for a memorable meal when hosting a get-together for family and friends this holiday season!

THE MISSION: 

Choose a favorite piece from Chairish's fabulous collection and design a seasonal table around it. 

Now.... this is my cup of tea: DESIGN, VINTAGE, TABLESCAPES!

I'm getting goose bumps.

Let me share with you what I put together... and I didn't stop with just the tablescape!

MY INSPIRATION PIECE:

Vintage Etched Glass Dessert Plates - Set of 8 

RIGHT?!??!

Aren't these just glamorously perfect?!

These sent my heart into a flutter. 

Plates designed by Tiffin in 1930's with hand-applied 22k art deco designed edging!

You know how this girl loves everything about these --> Hollywood Regency Glam at it's finest.

This had to be the starting point of my design.

But, I first wanted to start my design with the table/room in which these beauties would be on display.

And I just LOVE to mix things up... right?

Glam - Modern - Gold - Silver - Vintage - Rustic

It's all used in my design and I love how it all feels like they were meant to be in perfect unison... together!

Upper Left: Starburst Antique Brass Chandeleir
Lower Left: Vintage French Farm Table
Upper Right:Vintage Bertoia Side Chairs Restored
Center Right: Pair of Robsjohn Gibbings Style Klismos
Lower Right: Overdye Patchwork Vintage Grey - 8'1" x 10' 1"

Chairish also has FABRIC!
I found these two perfect patterns... and a Schumacher.... yes, please!
I would use the Vintage Schumacher Leopard Camo for the pair of Robsjohn Gibbings chair cushions and the Jane Churchill Darwin for the vintage Bertoia cushions.

Left - Vintage Schumacher Leopard Camo | Right - Jane Chruchill Darwin Ivory

Simply perfection!
Now... finally to the tabletop.

I thought all of these pieces would work beautifully together and would incorporate/mix well with my white ceramic dinner and serving plates. I also have some beautiful silver chargers which would be a lovely base for the layering of dishes and add to the mix of metals.

Upper Left: Vintage Glass Etched Dessert Plates - Set of 8
Lower Left: Saint Louis "Bizet" Crystal Wine Jug
Lower Center: 24K Gold Plated Flatware - Service for 8
Upper Right: Baccarat Crystal Onde Wine Glasses - Set of 6
Center Right: Crystal Hostess Flatware Set - Set of 3
Lower Right: Vintage Moroccan Wool Berber Runner

Doesn't this all just blend so lovely together.
Warmth + stunning gold + fresh clear crystal... makes for a beautiful and comfortable place to gather with family and friends.

Now for the finishing touch, a simply elegant centerpiece.

I found these beautiful french horn candleholders and I thought they would fit perfectly scattered with my set of antique silver creamers filled with baby poinsettias and evergreen garland draped down the center of the table.

But..... these puppies have already sold. They do have other vintage brass candleholder sets that would look lovely, too.

Brass French Horn Candle Holders - SOLD

What do you think?
Would you come over for a holiday gathering around my Glamorously Vintage Holiday Chairish-picked Designed table?

And hurry... today is the last day for guaranteed Christmas delivery through Chairish.

They post some pretty inspirational photos to keep this design obsessed person happy!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I'm working on some new artwork just in time for the holidays.

Easter Dinner Preparations

I am starting to clean and gather my items for our Easter Dinner Celebrations.

I have so much fun deciding what to pull out and use!

I don't have that much fun cleaning every item, but it is a necessity after sitting on a shelf and collecting dust. Dust would not be so appetizing to our guests... I'm sure.

I start with a color scheme while deciding what to use in the tablescape.

This year, I am going with a neutral sophisticated palette.

I'll be using silvers, white, cream, gold and lilac/purple. I'll incorporate the lilac/purple color through an ombre selection of florals.

I will be using my ikat plates I purchased at the 2013 Dwell with Dignity Fall Thrift Studio. Plus, this is a perfect time to use the vintage white china passed on to me by my mother-in-law. These both will look wonderful on a mix of silver glass and fabric chargers.

I have decided to pull out my little vintage white milk glass vases to hold the ombre selections of florals. I will be utilizing the arrangements as our centerpiece along the length of the table.

To pull in some more natural elements, I hard boiled these brown farm eggs and will use them in these cute little egg cups! I'll add a few egg-shaped clear paper weights from my collection for contrast and sparkle.

And last, but not least, my fun gold flatware and gold patterned napkins will be getting some love on Easter!
I love the contrast on the natural table runner!

I can't wait to pull together this table and engage in sweet fellowship and food on Easter day!
We have a lot to celebrate and I am going to make sure to shower my guests with wonderful food, drinks, and laughter!

I have compiled my planned menu below with links to most of the recipes in case you need some ideas for your meal. My menu is planned with healthy options for some of the guests that are on specific diets. I have not yet decided on what type of drinks we will be serving other than peach iced tea and infused water. I'll probably stick to a selection of wines for the alcoholic beverages.

APPETIZERS
Shrimp Shooters
Deviled Eggs

MAIN COURSE
Sweet-Hot Plum-Glazed Ham
Lemon Rosemary Salmon
Salad with Fresh Pears, Strawberries and Candied Bacon [I'm using Feta instead of Blue Cheese]
Asparagus Amandine without butter
Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes
Rosemary Orange Biscuits

DESSERT
Lemon-Coconut Cake
Banana Pudding Pie
Berries and Whipped Cream

Yummy! Many of these items I can start prepping or complete on Saturday. That way, I am not running around too crazy on Sunday... going from church to cooking in the kitchen.

We also plan to have our annual Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt on Sunday. We seem to change it up a little bit every year, but this year I am planning to do something quite different.... it should be fun!

Happy Easter Preparations, everybody!

New Pretties Added to our Bedroom

Here it is! The new corner of our bedroom.

We paired down.... scaled back.... 

and created a quaint, glorious, comfy and FABULOUS corner!

I mentioned here that we ordered a new sofette to go in this space. 

But, although it technically fit.... it was too big visually.

Kind of sad because I was really looking forward to cuddling up on a sofette...but, I am elated they had a wonderful return policy and came to pick it up today! 

So H-E-L-L-O to my beautiful new pieces!

I visited Scout Design Studio in the Dallas Design District last week.

I was broken-hearted about the reality of the sofette decision disaster.... but, upon entering the showroom my heart was instantly happy!

This place is FABULOUS!

So many unique pieces. Vintage furniture, art and accessories.... LOVE it all!

I came away with several options... but, I decided on this Vintage Leather Milo Baughman-esque Chair and the Lion's Paw Side Table.

The pieces are in such wonderful condition. No need to refurbish them at all!
But, Scout Design Studio does offer reupholstering and revamp services... isn't that wonderful?

You can follow them on Facebook here.
Who knows.... you might see something that interests you.

To top it all off...
I added a glamorous floor lamp to the corner.

I'm totally lovin' the crystals!

So.... what ya think?
I love how everything works so well with the bedding, rug and drapery.

I LOVE my little SANCTUARY.


Linking up to Thrifty Decor Chick.

REVAMPED: Dorothy Draper Espana Chest

Lacquered High Gloss Dove White...

It is HEAVEN to me!

Made this little Craigslist score.... a GLAMOROUS TREASURE!

I had the dresser revamped by Again and Again here in Dallas.

They are just FABULOUS when it comes to glamorous vintage finds and pretty...pretty... pieces.

They are also... just FABULOUS.... when it comes to revamping said finds and pieces.

The new look goes quite well with my vintage brass console table.

All of this gold is making me so happy!

The large lip print was a Christmas gift from my hubby and kiddo.

It's from Jen Ramos at MadeByGirl... I have been eyeing it for quite some time and they surprised me at Christmas! What sweethearts!

It is a framed giclee print from an original watercolor designed by Jessica Rowe.

You can order the print here.

I am SO happy I did this.
It's been over a year since I've had this piece. I can't believe I waited so long to get this done.
Have I mentioned that this makes me SO happy?!?!?

Have you had anything revamped or lacquered lately... or have you put it off like me?
