I am ready for a celebration at Susan's at Between Naps on the Porch! Ccongratulations to you Susan for your 100th Tablescape!
Thinking...
Dinner for two came to mind since our 25th wedding anniversary is coming up very soon. The music room is where I decided that this tablescape would be! I was ready to start creating.
I started with some classic black placemats and napkins on our round glass coffee, thought that would be a great look along with my silk flowered napkin rings that I just love. I set the table with my favorite white and gold trimmed Eternal Facets Lenox china, our Waterford crystal water and wine goblets and our Gorham silverware. Added candles and wine and things are ready!
I started to work on the table just as the sun was setting.
Love watching the sun set, it changes so quickly and the changes are awesome.
I wanted the table dancing with candlelight
I hope you have enjoyed my tablecape as much as I had getting in ready for the celebration..
Don't ask what's for dinner!
Don't ask what's for dinner!
Anyhow, bon appetit!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Nancy, the flicker of all the candles is just gorgeous. I could look at your view all day. I have always loved a beautiful view. Just something about it takes my breath away.
ReplyDeleteWow Nancy - How Gorgeous!!! Your room looks like a set from a movie!! Romantic, elegant, classic!! Just Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteNancy, this is exquisite! What a lovely creation this is. Twenty-five years. Where has the time gone? You and Mike have been so blessed.

Nancy this is fabulous. I get a definite Art Deco feel to the room, in candlelight, with the piano and calla lilies and the gorgeous table.
ReplyDeleteNancy, your table is very pretty. I'm going to do an anniversary table soon--it's our 30th! how can that be? I mays teal your idea of setting it near the piano. It seems so romantic! I read your post on NM--my husband has the same name for it! And I think I wear the same clothes as you do--capris and a blouse! I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeletevery romantic Nancy...good job

Such a romantic venue for an anniversary dinner for two. I wondered if you sat on the two small white ottomans. If you sat on the floor, then you both obviously still have really good knees. I love the candlelight reflecting off the gold of your china and the facets of your lovely Waterford crystal. Design well done! Thank you for your kind comments on my blog post. Glad to have made your acquaintance! Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteYour table was more than dancing with light...it was kissed by light! and oh so gorgeously romantic! i love it!
ReplyDeleteand that piano! oh my goodness would I love that in my home! so if you're ever just going to junk it...heheee...i'm your girl okay! just thought I'd put that out there! lol
anyhow..thanks for coming by and leaving such a sweet and generous comment! I appreciate your visits!

Hi again Nancy.. thanks for your quick reply.. Austin, I should have known. I lived in Bexar county for a few years.. just outside of San Antonio and loved the Hill Country. I had a good friend in New Braunfels and we would go to Austin via a stop over, oh, I forgot the name of that great Craft store on 35? In Scherts?? (spelling)
ReplyDeleteI'll be back soon..
The storm Bonnie fizzled out,
thank goodness! We just have rain today....
take care
