Ahh, the magic of fall dinner parties. The food, candles and dinner conversation all seem more intimate as the sun sets earlier in the evening. I am a bit obsessed with setting the table and this fall, teal has found it’s way into my heart. It’s such a great color to pair with typical autumn browns & oranges and pairs perfectly with gold touches and reclaimed woods. From modern to rustic, here are a few of my favorite tablescapes to make your evenings inspired! Happy Designing & Happy Entertaining!
holiday 2013 – neutral luxe
I am obsessed with white rooms and the layer of textures which translates into a winter wonderland atmosphere for the holidays. Starting with a neutral base and adding in shimmery textures makes for an enchanting space. The ambient lighting achieved with candles and starry lights completes the effect for entertaining!
See below for inspiration photos and a few of my pics for luxe this holiday season!

holiday 2013 – modern festive
So, you love the holidays but you don’t love the traditional decor elements? Luckily, there are many other ways to dress up your space for the season without OD’ing on plaid & pine trees. Unique color palettes, mod stylized shapes and unusual accents like peacocks and gemstones are building blocks of a non-traditional scheme. Feel free to make a statement with your decor!
