Purple and Green tablescape

With Christmas gone and all of my gold and red decorations put away, I thought it would be fun to create a pretty table with purples and greens.
The only thing about this theme is, I set it up in our red and gold breakfast room.
Bear with me and try to focus on the purple and green.

The flatware is from Ross. Green chargers from Michaels.
The green goblets are a Dollar store find.
The centerpiece is a clear tall cylinder. I added a white candle with greenery.  I topped it off with a colorful lamp shade.


The Hobnail dessert compotes are from home Goods

The lamp shade  is from Ross.
The purple boa is  from a costume I wore.
A great tip for a centerpiece is to use a glass cylinder.
I like to top it off with a lamp shade.
Add a candle or two, greenery, potpourri, jewels, or water gems with an led light.
I created this one below for a wedding, along with the candy buffet.



  

The plates I bought at an exchange party.
The purple napkins I found at Z Gallerie.

Enjoy the rest of your week and stay warm and cozy.

  8. Love keeping in touch! Thank you for the "over the top" compliment on my Winter Mantel...it is much appreciated.
    I love the purple and green color scheme. It reminds me of my grandmother's amethyst collection. And your flatware goes so perfectly. Great find with those glasses...nice job, baby!

  26. Hi Linda, what a nice surprise to find that you visited my blog and followed me. I am very glad to have found your beautiful blog. I have fallen in love with purple this year and love them mixed with the green. And the lampshade on the glass cylinder is such a great idea to change the look of it. I'm sure the glow from a candle or even battery candle would be so pretty.

    Thank you for you nice comment at my place!

  30. Hi Linda, I love the green and purple together. How clever to use a lampshade on top of the cylinder. The boa is perfect! I've seen those goblets at my $ Tree and am thinking about buying them. However, my Ross sure doesn't have that pretty flatware.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I have the green goblets from the Dollar Tree, and never thought to tuck a purple napkin in them. Love all the colors you used together!

  33. I am chuckling because so many of us are anticipating spring with our tables this week and winter has just begun for most! Your green and purple table is gorgeous. I like your idea of using a cylinder with shade for the centerpiece...you may be seeing that on one of my future tables!

  38. I like your table setting. It's a nice deviation from the Christmas colors you probably had in here and were ready to change. This table setting reminds me of Mardi Gras. Don't they celebrate that this month?

    ReplyDelete
  39. The bold color combination is great, Linda, and the lampshade on the cylinder...I can tell you I would never have come up with that one, and it's a great idea!! Thanks for visiting/commenting on my Three Kings celebration. ~Zuni

  40. Hi Linda. Beautiful tablescape. That is so clever how you used the lampshade over the candle cylinder. I never see those pretty things at Ross's. Thanks for the kind comments to me. What little bit of snow we got was just enough to knock our dish out so my favorite show didn't tape. Not pretty!! Sure is cold though..Happy Friday..Judy

  51. Hi Linda-

    I love seeing all the bright colors on your table. Purple seems to be one of those colors most people forget about these days, but it's very pretty. I think about my childhood piano teacher's daughter every time I see it because she wanted everything around her purple. A former neighbor had her whole house purple too.

    I love your pretty dessert compotes and your creative ideas for a centerpiece.

    I decided to come back to my blog a week or two ago, so I'd love to have you drop by whenever you get the chance!

  66. I've heard of those exchange parties, but I have never known of one around this area to participate in. That would be so much fun, and it makes a lot of sense!!! It's a way to give away stuff that you are tired of and get something that someone else has grown weary of looking at! Hmmmm...I need to try to get one of those parties going here!!! This is a table that would work out great for a lot of occasions including Mardi Gras with all the purple & green and the feather boa!!! I love the hobnail dessert compotes. I have seen those at T.J. Maxx/Home Goods, and I wanted them so bad in all the colors!!! I remember that decor from the wedding you decorated!!!!! It was so colorful, and I loved the collage you did on the wall!
