Citrus & Graphic summer tablescape

July 13, 2017~ Parties & entertaining, Summer, tablescape

I am thrilled to participate in another of Chloe Crabtree’s – of Celebrate & Decorate – tablescape blog hops. I first joined-in this spring with the Easter themed hop, and you can see my post // here //. If you know anything about PMQ for two it’s that I like my colours. This tablescape is nothing knew in that regard, except in this case I’ve gone for something a little more classic with my stripes, citrus and bold pink flowers, but you’ll just to see it for yourself.

Yesterday I showed you guys how I created my DIY colouring page dinner invite postcard // here // and this is the accompanying tablescape! Tomorrow I’ll have details on the cocktail of the week.

If you’re joining me from Rosemary & Thyme or A Casa Di Bianca, welcome! My name is Ariel and I create bold, bright, colourful & creative home decor and DIYs. You can check-out my project gallery // here // and I encourage you to read more about me // here //.

For this tablescape I wanted to do something graphic but also summery, and I wanted an occasion to use all my stunning florals. Over the past year I’ve accumulated quite the nice assortment of buds from Afloral.

The backyard, which we redid for the Spring One Room Challenge // here // is the perfect place to host a summer dinner party, and the pergola provides added privacy when the white curtains are drawn. They also provide a stunning backdrop against which all the colours and pattern can shine.

You just can’t get better than this. I shared a quick video of the scene on my Instagram stories and many of you reacted with awe and wonderment at the scene, which tells me I’m doing something good. You really had to be there to take it all in, but I think the photos have done a lovely job.

The place setting is simple. I added a contrasting blue patterned placemat, a pink chargers and cutlery, and blue linens and plates to provided contrast and balance. I think the scene was sheer perfection – or dare I say “pear-faction” 😉

Don’t forget to circle back tomorrow to catch the recipe for this week’s TGIF cocktail! Hint: it involves peaches. Although my Blackberry Mint Julep would // here // or cocktail freezies // here // would go beautifully as well.

    What a fearless use of color, Ariel! Those colors just explode all over your table setting and bar cart (love!). Who wouldn’t smile sitting at that table?!

    Ariel, I feel like I’m inside a rainbow. The bright colors against the white white background is fantastic. Love your tablescloth and all the flowers. Happy to be sharing the Summer Tablescape bog hop with you.

    What a beautiful explosion of color! Lovely, lovely! I especially like the contrast for all of the color with the black and white striped cushions! What a lovely outdoor space you have created for dining, it really feels like that special outdoor room! Your menu cards are the perfect complement to your colorful tablescape! Thank you so much for joining the tablescape blog hop!

Ariel - PMQ for two (she/her)
Packed-up the bulk of my closet this weekend. It’s funny, with less in there I can see the beautiful wallpaper and lighting more easily. You guys, I am seriously considering a more minimal lifestyle after sorting through WAY TOO MUCH stuff in our storage room. Anyone else a maximalist turned minimalist after a move?

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.
