The “problem” with working with the Hester & Cook hydrangea paper goods is that there are countless ways to use and style the pieces. Their hydrangea paper collection is a staple in their inventory, and it’s by far one of my favorites. And when they introduced their new bamboo lattice table runner this summer, IContinue reading “Parties with Hester & Cook: The Hydrangea Story”

Parties with Hester & Cook: The Patriotic Story
Red, white and blue are my favorite colors to use over the summer when entertaining, so naturally, the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. The options are endless when it comes to decor for this holiday, but I really love using paper products when entertaining outdoors. Thankfully, paper party decorContinue reading “Parties with Hester & Cook: The Patriotic Story”

Happy summer friends! To kick-off this season of entertaining, I partnered with Hester & Cook to style three tables with products from their fabulous inventory.

I can tellContinue reading “Delegate the Tailgate”
Delegating with Draper James: An End-of-Summer Tablescape
Well friends, we’ve made it to the end of the summer, and I’m actually excited for the change in seasons here in Nashville. Maybe it’s because my kids go back to school, and as much as I love them, mamma needs a break. I’ve also already purchased a new closet-full of sweaters and swapped outContinue reading “Delegating with Draper James: An End-of-Summer Tablescape”
Yellow Everything
I used to be scared of the color yellow. Now, I find myself almost always gravitating to it when looking for flowers, linens or other decor items. It’s a no-brainer for summer parties, but I also love using it for early-fall entertaining. While I was procrastinating writing this post and spending way too much moneyContinue reading “Yellow Everything”
Getting Your Summer (Rat)TAN On
Summer entertaining brings to mind several materials that embody outdoor dining, one of those being rattan. I love everything rattan from furniture to dinnerware, and it’s become very popular, so there are plenty of places to find reasonably priced pieces.

Spring Tablescape with Fete Nashville
Pull out your parasol and crumpets, because today’s post is so southern and “old-fashioned- chic” you just might swoon. If Scarlet O’Hara was alive (and real) today, I’m pretty sure she’d be proud to dine at this table. This is why I love living in the south ya’ll. Chinoiserie and toile are alive and well,Continue reading “Spring Tablescape with Fete Nashville”
Cinco de Mayo: Setting the Table and Dressing to the Decor
This year we’re attending a friend’s Cinco Di Mayo celebration that includes kids, so I imagine it will be a somewhat tame day of celebration for us.
