the most beautiful spring tables

Now that Spring has arrived in all its glory, I’m excited to share several new table linens and other goodies with you that have that perfect spring look.

First of all, who can take their eyes off these beautiful new prints from Pacific & Rose?

We're so happy to introduce the Lilibet print in two new colors and the Pomegranate print in a lovely blue and white pairing...

 

With Easter, Passover and Mother’s Day coming up, it’s a lovely idea to set a beautiful table to enjoy with friends and family. If the weather’s nice, set an alfresco table to enjoy the outdoors for dining and entertaining.

During the spring of 2020, my husband and I set up a little area of our backyard in the style of our favorite local French café. We added vintage shutter doors for ambiance and planted Boston ivy to grow up the walls.

 

This is another one of my favorite spots to dine in the backyard. Here we have the backdrop of the shed wall that I’ve decorated with a display of blue and white transferware plates. I love how the vines intermingle with the thrifted plates.

The plates have been out here for over 4 years, and have held up perfectly.

 

The tablecloth and napkins seen here are Lilibet Cornflower. I love how they look with the blue and white porcelain accents. A few stock flowers from the market add a dose of the garden to the table.

 

Indoors in the breakfast room, I combined the Pomegranate Blue tablecloth with the Lilibet Cornflower napkins.

This is my favorite combination! The mixing and matching of these linens work really well considering the colors are all so harmonious.

 

 

Here's another look for the breakfast room showcasing the Lilibet Blue Crush table runner, placemats and napkins and a big bunch of scented geraniums from the front yard.

 

That same basket of scented geraniums works well with the Pomegranate Blue runner and the backdrop of the plate wall.

 

While seated, you can see our little French café area off in the distance. It feels so cozy sitting here.

Take a look at the details of the napkins and placemats with the runner. These are all entirely hand-printed in India, so each piece has a subtle, unique and very beautiful look to it.

 

Combining bamboo cutlery works really well with this type of hand-blocked textile. To highlight the plates against the fabrics, raffia placemats do the trick and offer another textural element to the table.

 

Here’s a slightly different styling at the center of the table. The colors in this vintage Amaretti tin really harmonize well with this Lilibet print.

 

This would be a pretty look for Mother’s Day or a bridal shower. I’ll be doing a blog post soon on how to style flowers with vintage food tins. I think you’ll really enjoy it!

 

Take a look at how easy it is to dress up your table for spring. All it takes is a beautiful tablecloth and a basket of flowers.

 

In addition to the table linens, Pacific & Rose offers several other beautiful items in the Lilibet and Pomegranate prints. Gorgeous tea towels are always a bright ray of sunshine in any kitchen.

 

My favorite way to indulge in these lovely patterns is with a lightweight but luxurious cotton voile robe. Pair your favorite one with a matching cosmetic bag, and you’re all set.

Don't you think these robes and cosmetic bags would make the most thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts? Sign me up!

Can you spot a new color here? This is Pomegranate red, and it also comes in the home goods line of table linens and accessories.

 

New to Pacific & Rose are these pareos, or sarongs as I call them. Just in time for summer and those long-awaited getaways, these beauties can instantly dress you up at the pool and beach.

 

These are my two favorite ways to wear the pareo, but there are literally dozens of ways to style them on ourselves. They even look great as a scarf for a chilly night out on the town.

 

Easter of course is right around the corner and these colors and patterns are just so perfect for setting a memorable table. Just add flowers and a bunny or two and you’re done!
