A Lighthouse Summer Tablescape

I love lighthouses and this is the fourth lighthouses tablescape that I have created. This tablescape is a bit of a combination of two others that I did in the past few years with a few changes. I found the polyester lighthouses and sail boats tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago.

This lighthouse porcelain salad plate set was made by American Atelier at Home and the pattern was called Signals. They were made between 2000 and 2006 but they can be found online still on the secondary market. There are four different lighthouse designs in the set but I only used two designs on this table setting. I bought the plates on Ebay a few years ago. I love the colors and the map design around the rim of the plates. The lighthouse on this salad plate is at Cape Neddick, near York, Maine.

The other lighthouses in this plate set are West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine ( I used this one also on this tablescape), Split Rock Lighthouse near Silver Bay, Minnesota, and Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

The dinner plate on this lighthouses tablescape is part of our every day dishes set. It is a Scarlet dinner plate made by Fiesta. I bought them at Macys a few years ago when we remodeled our kitchen and the kitchen became a red and white kitchen. I have this dinner plate in several different colors and I use them often on my tablescapes.

The camera has really elongated this blue glass charger in this photo. It is one of my favorite chargers and I often use it on my beach and ocean themed tablescapes. I bought them when I first started tablescaping several years ago. They are a heavy blue glass and I love the color and the tweed like design in the glass. They were made by Villeroy and Boch and the pattern was called Verona. I am not sure where I found them online. I have this charger in a few other colors as well.

This Milano Red flatware set is called Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. I am not sure where I bought it. I now have it in other colors as well. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

This red cotton napkin came from Pier 1 several years ago. I found the lighthouse napkin rings on Ebay a few years ago, they were a set with a couple of different designs. From time to time I search Ebay for napkin rings and I always seem to find some interesting ones. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

I found these ceramic Kate Aspen lighthouse place card holders on Ebay a few years ago. There were a few different designs in the set and you can see one of the other designs across the table in this photo. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.

I think the red glass goblet on the left came from Crate and Barrel a few years ago. I had been looking for some simple red goblets and I grabbed these when I saw them online. I only bought six and I wish now that I had bought more. The blue glass goblet on the right came from Hobby Lobby a few years ago. It is the perfect blue color for many of my ocean themed tablescapes. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

When I first created a lighthouse themed tablescape a few years ago I knew that I wanted to use a lighthouse for a centerpiece and I found this lighthouse cookie jar on Ebay. It is sitting on a dark blue drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn that I bought several years ago, to give it more height. If you read my blog you have seen several cookie jars that I have used as centerpieces. They are the best dimensions for use as centerpieces.

I remembered that I used these lighthouse tea light candle holders on one of the earlier lighthouse tablescapes that I did so I added one on each side of the lighthouse centerpiece. I’m not sure where I bought them. I have had them for several years.

I love lighthouses!

A Seaside Summer Tablescape

It’s the time of year that I want to be staying somewhere right on the ocean, where I can just walk out and put my feet in the waves. This tablescape reminds me of that. I chose this tablecloth for this week’s tablescape because it looks like ocean sand. It has a texture to it that you can see in some of the photos. I found the beige tablecloth at HomeGoods a few years ago. It has a slight faint brown tweed design.

My camera photo goofed up the shape of this salad plate a bit, it is round. I have had these Adirondack blue chair beach plates for a few years waiting to pull a tablescape together using them and I finally got it done. Not one of my favorites, but it will do. These salad plates were designed by Susan Winget, a watercolor artist who lives in South Carolina. I have other plates that she has designed in my tablescaping collection. I can’t remember where I bought the salad plates but it may have been Ebay or HomeGoods.

A few years ago I was looking for a basic cream colored dinner plate and I found this one. It is Mason Stoneware made by Pottery Barn. I think this color was called Wheat. It comes in other colors as well. It is a great size (10 3/4”) for a dinner plate and large enough that it could be used as a charger with smaller dinner plates.

This charger was made by Mikasa and it is called Color Spectrum in Royal Blue. I love this charger, it is heavy and a great color. I have several other chargers like this one in other colors. I bought them all a few at a time on Ebay over several years.

This is my newest flatware set, a gift from Hubby for my birthday and Mother’s Day. This blue flatware set is labeled Mepra Inox and the pattern is called Fantasia. We bought it on sale at Macys online a few months ago but several stores online sell it. I also have this flatware pattern in orange and yellow. It comes in several other colors as well and it is difficult to find flatware sets in different colors so I have my eye on a few other colors when it goes on sale again. I have never seen a flatware set that comes in so many different colors. We bought the set on sale at Macys online. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here. This photo really shows the tweed pattern in the beige tablecloth.

I am disappointed that the colors of the napkin are so washed out in this photo although they are light colors. It is an image of the ocean waves and the sand. I bought the napkins this week on Amazon. The blue Adirondack chair napkin rings came from Wilford & Lee Home Accents online a few years ago. They were white and I used them on another beach tablescape but Hubby painted them blue for me for this table setting to match the salad plates.

A better photo that shows the napkin design.

The blue Adirondack chair place card holders came from Kohl’s online a few years ago. They were a natural wood but Hubby spray painted them white for me for another tablescape that I did a few years ago and then blue for this tablescape.

We found the blue glass goblet on the left at Hobby Lobby last year. I was looking for a light blue glass goblet and these were perfect. The beige glass goblet on the right came from Z Gallerie online a few years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

I wanted a beach type chair for a centerpiece for a beach tablescape a few years ago and I started looking for doll chairs. I finally found this white one on Amazon. It was made by Matty’s Toy Shop and it was just what I was looking for. It was white for another tablescape but Hubby painted it blue for this one. I wanted to add something to it so I found a wash cloth at HomeGoods that looked like a beach towel and I draped it over the arm and I added a small seagull on the other arm. I can’t remember where I found the seagull.

I can’t remember where I found the seagulls. They came in a set of three and I put one on each side of the beach chair.

We definitely need a trip to the beach soon!

Lighthouses on a Summer Tablescape

Hubby and I love lighthouses and summer is a perfect time to create a lighthouse tablescape. I have done lighthouse themed tablescapes before, one in 2021 here and one in 2019 here but this one is different. I found this lighthouse tablecloth at Spoonflower online and I knew it would match my lighthouse salad plates.

This lighthouse salad plate set was made by American Atelier at Home. There are four different lighthouse designs in the set but I only used three on this table setting. I bought the plates on Ebay a few years ago. I love the colors and the design around the rim of the plate. This actual lighthouse is in Cape Neddick, Maine near York.

The other lighthouses on the plates on this tablescape are West Quoddy Head in Lubec, Maine and Split Rock Lighthouse near Silver Bay, Minnesota. The missing lighthouse plate shows Cape Hatteras on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks.

I chose this light beige melamine dinner plate to match the beige background color of the tablecloth. I bought them at HomeGoods several years ago and some turquoise plates in the same pattern. They were made by Il Mulino New York.

This is one of the chargers I often use on my beach and ocean themed tablescapes. I bought them when I first started tablescaping several years ago. They are a heavy blue glass and I love the color and the tweed like design in the glass. They are made by Villeroy and Boch and the pattern is Verona. Not sure where I found them online. I have this charger in a few other colors as well.

I really love the frosted cream color of this flatware set, it is so unique. The flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought the set at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale several years ago. I have this design in a few other frosted colors as well.

I bought these nautical themed napkin rings on Ebay several years ago. The blue and cream colors are perfect on this tablescape. While I was pulling this tablescape together I was struggling to decide what accent color I wanted to use for the napkins and my daughter stopped by and immediately suggested coral and she was right on! She often does that with my tablescapes, she is very creative, and she has a good eye for design. I found these chambrey coral napkins on Amazon last week.

I found these ceramic Kate Aspen lighthouse place card holders on Ebay a few weeks ago.

The blue glass goblet on the left came from Hobby Lobby a few months ago. I can’t remember where I bought the coral glass goblet on the right. I thought it was Hobby Lobby but I am not sure. I have a few different coral/pink goblets and they are all different shades of those colors. Sometimes I can’t decide whether to inventory them as coral or pink and I put them in both folders on the computer.

I found this wood lighthouse at Michael’s online a few months ago. The colors are a perfect match for the tablecloth.

I remembered that I used these lighthouse tea light candle holders on one of the earlier lighthouse tablescapes that I did so I added one on each side of the lighthouse centerpiece. I’m not sure where I bought them. I have had them for several years.

I love lighthouses! Maybe next year we will take a tour to see more of them on the East Coast.

A Tropical Summer Tablescape

I saw these bamboo plates and decided to create a tropical themed tablescape for summer. I have done a couple other tropical themed tablescapes in the past but this tablecloth is very different from the tablecloth I used on those table settings. I found the Ambesonne Palm Leaf tablecloth on Amazon earlier this month.

These melamine salad and dinner plates came from Sur La Table online a couple of months ago. The pattern is called Tropicale Bamboo.

You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.

I have had these lime green glass charger plates for several years, I think I bought them on Amazon. They were made by Bormioli Rocco, an Italian company, and the pattern was called Inca. I have them in a few other colors as well. They are heavy glass and I really love how solid they are and the textured pattern in the glass. To read about what you should be considering when you are buying chargers please click here.

I have had this faux bamboo flatware set for several years, I can’t remember where I bought it. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

These lime green napkins were made by Fiesta. I think they came from Macys several years ago. I found these faux bamboo napkin rings on Amazon a few weeks ago. To read about the what, where and how of napkin rings please click here.

These tropical scene place card holders came from Etsy. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.

I found both of these acrylic tropical themed goblets at HomeGoods a couple of years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

I found these artificial bamboo leaf stems on Amazon earlier this month. I put them in a simple glass vase I already had.

It’s a different tablescape design but a fun and informal one for summer.
