White Charger Tablescape
I have been having a love affair with neutral colors for the past year or so..
Maybe “affair” is too strong of a word, but I have certainly been crushing on them.
Lately I have been seriously drawn to white.
So when I saw these white wood chargers from Pier One on Pinterest -
(From a post by MyRepurposedLife,)
I knew I had to have them!
I had to order them back in May, and they finally came in this week!
I am so in love with them – they were $12 each, so kind of expensive
but there are so many things I can do with them besides just tablesettings.
So after I picked them up today, I decided to do a tablescape to show you how cute
they are. And to show you the one area in my house that hasn’t been hit with
the “neutral” bug – the small dining area off my kitchen. It is primarily red and yellow.
I just love the crisp white with the saturated reds.
I also love the shabby chic look of the distressed wood.
I am using some old placemats from Longaberger -
I don’t generally use placemats anymore, I tend to prefer the look of a runner.
But I love the fabric of these. The other side is a muslin with lace appliqués.
The plain red plates are also from Longaberger.
The red and gold flatware is a set I got at Target during their 75% off Christmas clearance
a few years ago – love those clearance sales!
Both the Ruby Red Goblets and the white Rooster were items I purchased on Ebay.
I picked some of the Peonies from our yard to add to the table.
I so love those flowers!
The chargers also go well in my dining area with my blue things -
I really love the subdued, soft, look of this combination.
Hope you enjoyed the table -
Thank you for coming by!

I have three of those chargers myself, Sharyl! I fell in love with them and my Pier 1 had three the day I went so I bought all of them. I use one as a cloche base and it’s usually just hubby and I so the two work. They’d probably also work good for a wall display {which I had considered}. They are expensive at $12.00 each, but they seem to go quickly! Love your dishes and the silverware. I should check out some of those clearance sales as I’d love to get a second set. I don’t know why I never think to look at silverware in the clearance section.

Beautiful! $12 isn’t awful, considering all you can do with them and how long they will *hopefully* last!

I LOVE those chargers! I have been coveting them for a while. I love the different looks you showed.
Your blue ‘scape with the birdies is my favorite. It’s beautiful!
