Happy Birthday Table Top

Monday, July 11, 2011

I set our kitchen table for Shelley's birthday, and I chose a cheerful, colorful scheme because it has been raining so much lately.

How do you cheer-up your family when it has been raining for days on end?  Cupcakes help :D

    Adorable table...I just read your post at Grace's. I love your family room but am wondering how you keep your white furniture looking so good? I'm about ready to give up on my white sofa...it's driving me crazy. Every time I look at it there's a new spot. Any tips?

    There must always be cupcakes to celebrate a Birthday in style.
    It's the law.
    Sending belated Happy Birthday wishes to Shelley from Normandy!

    What a delightfully festive bit of Spring on your table! I love it. My family never puts much attention to the table decor and color scheme, aside from making sure plates and utensils are on the table, so it strikes me as a really special and classy thing that you do there. Yay!

    Shelly will love it I am so sure!~!!
    Can't wait to see your art studio. My studio was a huge project too. My house has an open concept living/dining/kitchen, but a formal living room and dinig room too. We aren't going to use those formal rooms, so we made them the family room and the studio. The studio is just about done, but the boys "man room" isn't started. And since they are connected, the studio looks yucky. We have to replace the french doors. BUT, as you say, it will all come together!! I hope to have ONE room done to share with all of you!!! And I can't wait to see yours!!!
