It's a Big ONE! A Table Set For Celebrating!

This week is a B-I-G O-N-E here!

I am {partially} forbidden to talk about hubby,

but this week is his Birthday...

a milestone birthday at that!

So in honor of him...

{let's let him think that...and not that I needed

inspiration for a tablescape or the blog}, here is...

A Table Set For Celebrating.

 I chose black and white with a "little more
than a punch" of lime green for the color palette.

The linens were layered, beginning with a simple white underlay

and then a lime green and white overlay.

I wanted some interest up high, so hung some paper lanterns

from the ceiling using command adhesive strips

{pretend I finished the birthday chandelier...

it will be done...and I will show y'all that next week}.

Because the overall look was on the contemporary side,
I kept the tablescape pretty neat and clean.
The Tiffany candlesticks and some frosted
"cracked" glass votives added a nice touch.

Simple white napkins were wrapped
in black felt ribbon and then finished off
with some silver beaded napkins rings.
Glittery initials added a whimsical touch.
{I am just in LOVE with monograms and initials these days!}

Silver chargers were the base for the
hand-painted {by moi!} glass birthday plates.
Circles of lime paper under the
glass plates really makes the design "pop."

I bought these fantastic blooms at the
grocery store and just trimmed them
and arranged them in a cheap-o vase...
filled with black beans!
{I use beans a lot..I love them}
The vase finished with felt ribbon wrapped
around the neck and finished off with a silver medallion,
all set atop a matching silver charger.

Happy Celebrating and

Happy Birthday Hubby!

I may actually have to pay attention to him

for the next few days,

but I will be around visiting everyone soon!
