Blue Willow Tablescape


Blue and White Tablescape
I love decorating my home in classic blue and white! This color combination always look elegant yet soft and casual in any kind of decor. So today, I am sharing my blue willow tablescape set up for a simple setting for two:

I have lost track of how many snow snowstorms we've had this winter, and currently we are right in the middle of another one! With snow advisories every so often, bitter cold, and frozen pipes, I am so ready for spring! 

A simple white pitcher filled with greenery not only makes a nice focal point in my blue and white tablesetting, but also a small attempt on my part to add some spring touches....

A simple fabric tag hangs from a black and white check ribbon as an accent

I stamped the rooster on the fabric tag

The white pitcher sits on a stack of small transferware plates

Stacked plates also make pretty risers in any tablescape


My cute Rooster and Hen salt and  pepper shakers


I love these guys! They look adorable in any tablesetting :) 

A grouping of three candlestick holders set the mood for this simple tablesetting for two


I like the crisp and refined look of the tall blue and white candlestick holder 

With white taper candle, it looks so elegant and beautiful in this grouping of three...so timeless! Flanked on either side by two crystal candle holders.

A layering of blue transferware


I love the Blue Willow pattern! Today's place setting is inspired by this pretty pattern. 


On top of the dinner plate is a simple white salad plate that contrasts nicely with the blue cup and saucer. 

I used my Blue Danube print tablecloth as covering for this bistro style table from Ikea. I think I've had this tablecloth since we bought our first dining room furniture :)


The pretty blue stems are from Pfaltzgraff, purchased many years back from one of their factory outlet stores.

Crystals that sparkle like jewels in light




A tribute to a blue and white tablescape




There is a full blown winter storm going on outside as I am taking these pictures, and it still continues! You can see through the windows the amount of snow piled up outside.


Thanks for your visit! It is always a pleasure having you here! I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my blue and white tablescape. 
Stay warm and safe!
Have a lovely week ahead!

And my thanks and appreciation to these lovely ladies for showcasing my Column Pedestals at their weekly parties! Stop by and say hello if you get a chance or join their inspiring parties and share your creativity!

Thanks ladies!

~Hugs, Poppy~

  5. Your blue and white table has me longing for Spring, too. Love your pitcher with the ferny plant, and the cute little chicken salt and pepper. The fabric tag and black and white check ribbon add a nice touch to the pitcher. Gosh,I like it all. :)

  6. I love your blue and white table! But then I adore blue and white! It's also nice for more formal occasions! Your other blue touches -- the salt and pepper and candlesticks really add to the table.

  25. Your table setting is lovely Poppy! I really like the rooster tag too. We are having a reprieve from the extreme cold this week. It even got into the low 40's here today. But the forecast is for colder weather by the weekend again. Blech! Have a wonderful week despite the weather!

  45. I forgot to say how beautiful the stemware is! I used to shop at the Pfaltzgraff Clearance store next to the Outlet Store. Amazing buys. Very sad when they closed, but maybe it was God's way of telling me I didn't need any more dishes, even if they were .26 cents, :)

  46. Poppy, You had me at blue and white, and then the rooster and hen s&p shakers sent this beautiful tablescape straight over the top. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! I love the blue stemware, just beautiful. And the blue and white candle holder, OMG I am in love.
