A Twist of Lemon Tablescape

Our beautiful spring weather the past few weeks has turned to snow today! I feel like I should be posting a winter table instead of spring! 

This tablescape started out as blue and yellow. Then I decided it was waaaay too much blue, so started pulling out a few blue items and replacing with green. I preferred the blue, green and yellow color combination much better!

This table was set inside as the sunroom was just a little bit too cold this past weekend. 

I picked up the April Cornell table runner awhile back -- impossible to resist it! I've seen the same print in other blog tablescapes and couldn't wait to use it in one of mine.

Picking up the colors from the table runner in blues, greens and  yellows.

Holly is peeking in the corner! Baseball game on the TV -- I enjoy the sound of a baseball game on in the background. Always feels like summer!

I tried using the flash in a few photos as it wasn't very bright in the room.

Filled the yellow bowls with lemons.

Yellow bowls are lemons!

Blue salad plates are from one of my two sets of everyday dishes.

Dinner plate is a light sage green -- same color is in the table runner. Rattan chargers on round blue placemat.

Little porcelain Foo Dogs came from my mother.

Green goblets paired with the yellow/gold glasses.

Accent plate matches the bowls. A few candies added to the butter dishes.

Lemon plate matches the bowl.

Sunshine finally started to stream in through the windows.

Side view.

Table runner -- I just love this print!

Centerpiece is yellow silk flowers in a tall vase.

White ceramic Foo Dog.

A view from above using the flash.

This sterling silver flatware has such a delicate flower!

Candle holders are quite heavy. I picked them up with the intention of painting them but am happy I left them alone. For now anyway. :)

Another shot of the table.
