Welcome to our first Tablescape Thursday;) hosted by Susan over here;0)
So what does one do when out of ideas and dishes? Go to a friend's house of course and borrow their dishes, table, stemware, etc... for a few hours and snap some pictures;)
I knew that Kelly had several dishes and a beautiful room and table to display them on so I invited myself to play a little with her stuff;) See the detail in the cup isn't this sweet!! The dishes are a light aqua color so soft and pretty;)
It was easy with all the stuff she had to throw this together...I would stand there and say "nope...somethings missing" and off she would run and gather more stuff. (lol)
The center piece is a mirror she made that usually hangs in her sun room, we used it as the centerpiece...then we realized we had a theme of sorts and out she pulls this fun vase to set in the middle of the table... and look at the tulips isn't that kind of unexpected yet fun!
The crisp white napkins and rings I had brought with me and look they look perfect up against her setting!
This was fun and something I truly enjoyed for a day! A nice little escape from the chaos that seems to be following me;)
The wall color in the room even matches the lovely setting it's so soothing isn't it?
Look more circles on the candle holders!
Well I hope you enjoyed looking at something different today!! A big thanks to Kelly for putting up her stuff and her house for me to use and play with.... friends like that are "priceless"!!Hugs and enjoy the rest of the tour as I am sure there are many lovely spaces to look at;)
Hugs and much love
French;)

Susan
Love it, Love it, Love it!! I love these colors. And the circles are perfect. The dishes are beautiful. And why not kick in a extra twist with the tulips!! I wish I was there to have fun with you ladies.
What a priceless friend for sure. Love the aqua and white color scheme. The dishes were just gorgeous and the centerpiece was very unexpected and eyecatching. I loved the tulips for that beautiful touch of white. Great tablescape. Hugs, Marty
I just love that shade of blue. Everything looks so elegant and soft. Your friend has a beautiful home and the color of her dining room is wonderful. Cindy
OH French
I was just thinking the same. I will have to get inventive if I'm going to keep up to the girls on this one.
My sister's table would be a great start. Your girlfriend was a great sport and it all looks fab.
Love Claudie
Hi French...What a great tablescape! I love the colors...so serene! Everything came together beautifully! And what a nice friend you have to let you borrow her things!! Great job...Debbie
Hi French, This is so fresh and pretty!
I am so ready for Spring!
Love how you borrowed from your friend for the day. What a wonderful idea and look at the fabulous results. Amazing!
I love the silver sunburst.
Your black and white prints on the wall are gorgeous too.

It's REALLY nice!!!! GOOD JOB! CHEERS! Michele
OMG! It's beautiful. I love the wall color and combinations of silver and whites and the blue. Love it! That vase is awesome and tulips are my favorite. They are the only flower that looks even better when it falls over like that.
Great job!
French - I love it... tag team tablescaping! Awesome! LOL
the table is beautiful, and your description of the fun you had tablescaping with your friend at her house made me want to run next door and see what Shirley has in her china cabinet!
great post! Dixie
Hey Frenchieness! What fun and such a beautiful table you and Kelly have put together. I'm so glad you've introduced her to us! So many pretties!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
This is beautiful! Love that spikey mirror thingy. You need to do a post on making one of those, 'cause I want one. I've been out of the loop because of an ice storm that left me without power. I just read your post from yesterday, and I'm sending prayers your way. laurie
How lucky of you to have a firend so close by and who would let you play with her lovely dishes. Love the centerpiece, it's original! And I love the soothing colors of the plates and all the other accessories on the table...Christine
I absolutely adore the center piece, and the tulips are stunning. Everything looks so elegant and fresh. Now, when's the party?
That tablesetting is perfect for that room. Love the combination of colors.
Crisp and lovely. I noticed the wall color right off. Do you know what the name of that lovely blue hue?
Enjoy TT, Candy
Hi Lisa... I smiled when I saw you had a post for today...it tells me you are determined to make the most of a difficult time...and boy! Did you ever...the centerpiece really steals the show...it is gorgeous & perfect for a round table. Elegant china in such a soft color really stands out too...pretty! ;-) Bo
Well French, I do believe you're the first Tablescape chick to commandeer someone else's table for a post! LOL!
I love what you did, and ooh, the color of her walls is beautiful!!!!! I want to know how she made that mirror!!
Justine :o )
How ingenius to borrow from your friend! Beautiful colors and I really like the silver mirrors mixed in. Great, great job!
This is beautiful! I love the color palet and it is just so elegant. Thank you for sharing!
that is so pretty I love the colors and pieces perfect...thanks for the advice, I plan on keeping everything, I think my doctor has lost his mind. I sure hope you start to feel better soon, Hugs, Lisa
Great friend tablescape. Have you tought about getting in touch with the clinic in your area to see if they can help you with getting your test complete. Just a thought.
Blossom
French, Thanks for the sweet comment you left me on today's post! You're right...we did have the same idea goin on, didn't we! I TOTALLY am LOVIN this tablescape, the colors, the circles, the way the table reflects the soft tones of the walls. Truly, the star like silver mirror layed flat and that cool silver vase you used for the white tulips are just stunning! But, then again...there are the candlesticks......TOTALLY ROCKIN! ;) Said a little prayer for you earlier this morning about the job/your friend! Hang in there! ;) ~CC Catherine
I love the spokes of that mirror peeking out under the centerpiece. Gorgeous color, too.
Thank you to you and your friend for sharing this one with us.
Very elegant and crisp looking. Pretty cool, refreshing colors.
French, the pictures turned out great! You put it all together so beautifully. I don't know if I could do it. I'll leave all of that up to you and your talent. It was so fun watching and helping though!
xoxoxo Kelly
French!!!! Your tablescape was breathtaking! The colors are just fantastic! Very calming and serene.
KK's place was the perfect place to go! :) I am sure you had a blast!
Hugs,
Donna Marie
This is fantabulous!! And you both had fun putting it together! Great post!

Beautiful! And you had fun with a friend too! Thank you!
Oh French! What a very fun thing to do with a friend. I like it. You two really pulled off such a unique gorgeous table. Hmmm...thinking of who I could con into doing this with me :0)
This looks like a magazine layout! Soooooo pretty!
ENJOY your day!
Fifi

Soft and contemporary, very pretty! Like the center piece.

A very beautiful and elegant table.

Seriously, I need to stop visiting on your tablescape days. I have Corelle plates and Macy's generic silverware. It's so not cute.
Ok, forget the stunning tablescape...this dining room is to die for. What's the paint color? (I'm going to search for it now, but if you happen to know, be sure to let me know!)
What a great table! Just goes to show that 2 minds are better than one!
So fresh and soothing...very pretty! LOVE the centerpiece, very creative, girl! This would be a lovely room to have brunch in!
;-D
Love your tablescape, the soft blues are stunning with the white tulips.
Fresh and bright...so beautiful.
Love the colors you used! They are so calming & restful. People would want to sit & visit in this surrounding. And you are so right... when you run out go borrow someone elses. :) I should have it would have been cheaper but, in the future I have new goodies to share. Thank you for stopping by to see me.
Very Beaufabulous! Deb Country Kisses
What a great friend Kelly is to let you "borrow" her and her dishes for a day.. Kelly you are the best... This is wonderful. I love the soothing colors and your scheme of circles is great! Thanks for swinging by to see the blue and white with Miss kitty and Mr. Mouse. I always love when you stop by.. I hope you're feeling better darling. hugs ~lynne~
Your table is beautiful. I love how the starburst on the bottom fits with the vase that sits on it. It looks like it burst from the vase.
I see you had some fun at the neighbors! I'm sure she was glad you came over. The table looks fantastic! Love the color of her diningroom. Wouldn't the chairs look great if the cushions could be monogramed? Where did she get tulips that looked that real?
Have a happy weekend.
Girl you are too funny..never thought to run to a friend house to get China...but trust me I will put that in my memory bank...oh wait a minute I don't have a memory..Love that auqa color and I so remember my Mama being into that color at one time..even our stove and frig was auqa..with Pink counters..Great table French..hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
You put together a lovely table! So soft and pretty and still very contemporary somehow. Great job. I loved the white tulips. Perfect touch!
Elaine :)
I loved it...a tablescape "thursday" and you hijacked a neighbors house and dishes....now that's thinking outside the blogging box lol! And she does have a gorgeous dining room and beautiful things. I really LOVE that vase!
Simply stunning!!!!!
Can you tell me what that color is in your friend's dining room? It is exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Cindy
French...this is a great idea! What cute dishes Kelly has and what fun to do a tablescape together. I love the centerpiece you guys put together and the soft blue of china is soooo perfect for this wintery weather! Great TT!
Susan
So many have asked about the color...ironically the color is called "Rock Moss" from Walmart and in person in looks much greener than in these pics...it's one of those colors that looks different depending on the room it's in...Hope that helps those that asked!! French;)
Hey Woman... just popping in to gaze my eyes upon the lovely tablescape that you put together!
xoxoxoxo
Donna Marie
