You step outside and the morning air is crisp, frost still clings to spots in your yard, and you can smell the coming rain in the air like a light perfume made by nature itself.
The birds are singing their songs and merriment at the shifting seasons, telling the world it’s time to rise and startanother day. Spring time is just around the corner and aren’t we glad for it. There is joy with every season that comes and goes, there’s no denying the excitement at the start of a brand new season though. By the time spring rolls around most of us are ready to say goodbye to thesnow and hello to green grass and trees once again.
Ready to see the sun greeting us everyday even if accompanied by a heavy spring rain. Why stop at letting the change happen outside though, why not bring it in your home to give you a sunny greeting everyday?
Setting your table for spring is a small act that can put a smile on your face daily, seeing little pops of yellow, florals, and some honey bees. It’s the little things in life after all that can make the biggest difference sometimes. Pictured with our article is just an example of a table setting we have in store as inspiration to do just that.
Serving as the base for the light and cheery table setting, features a Garnier – Thiebaut tablecloth. These tableclothes feature exquisite french craftsmanship with timeless elegance, beautiful patterns, and durability to last a lifetime. If you get the chance to see them in person, you’ll see the thought in every detail right down to the edges of the tablecloth. All throughout the table setting there are various kitchen and tea towels all with a design bent towards bees, but the best part about all of the linens is they are all 100% cotton. Beautiful and sustainable, what a perfect combination.
You may notice in the center of the table is a salt and pepper grinder set that stands out, made from a gorgeous natural wood and right here in the USA, those are none other than Fletchers Mill grinders. So beautiful in design they need no other adornments. Beside them is featured a tea pot covered in sunflowers that provide real texture and some honey bees spotted throughout. The buzz-worthy teapot is settled on a Lipper olivewood server. The olivewood brings another aspect of nature’s natural design into the setting, as it surely would into your home as well. With proper care, the Lipper olivewood footed server would last a lifetime and never lose its elegance with all the natural whorls and swirls in the wood.
Surely not to be looked over, the hammered gold flatware from Fortessa to add a pop of shine. Switching out metals in your home from silvers to golds is such an easy way to add warmth and shine to your space while still having items that are stainless and durable for all your everydayneeds.
There is so much more to this setting, and if we tried to go into all the details this article would surely be longer than what’s reasonable. From thoughtfully made napkins, mud pie trays, spreaders, and more, the best way to take it all in is to stop into the store and see it for yourself.
No photo could ever do it justice and the feeling simply can’t be conveyed into words.
