I was hoping to share my dining room chairs by now, but this project is taking longer than expected. I am working on the last two chairs and can see the finish line. I am so busy this week that it will be the latter part of the week before I can finish them up. I have Leila today and Wednesday and on Tuesday my sister and I will be getting together with our mom to celebrate her 80th birthday that was on 2/25. Busy busy.
I did spruce up the dining room table vignette a bit for spring this weekend.
I'm still using the huge wooden tray that my daughter gave me for Christmas. I love the weathered finish and size.
A stack of white plates, that I shared months ago that were found for a song at a flea market, are layered with some cups and saucers that were my grandmother's.
The floral pattern is perfect to ring in spring.
The yellow checked napkins were found at Williams Sonoma outlet several weeks ago and I love having the added yellow in here.
This vintage style crock is filled with vintage silver plate dinnerware I have collected.
Sorry no wide shots because you can see some of the chairs. No peeking!
Have a super week!
Have a super week!

Love the bright spring colors! When your done adding spring maybe you can send some my way! A winter storm watch here in Indiana this morning. Sounds great right? (insert sarcastic tone). Hope you have a great day! -Tonya
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty tea cups and saucers Kim. Just traded out my dishes for a yellow and green set from the Mr's grandparents. Your napkins would be great with them.. (note to self, find some pretty yellow checked napkins)
ReplyDeleteI too am forcing Spring to come... 28* here in North Central Florida... and a frosty one. So ready for warmer days...
Hugs, Gee
I'm ready for spring! Love your vignette!

Love your vignette, so springy and cheerful! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, spring! I hope to see it in the next few months! We have 5 to 12 inches of snow expected today and today. I am so over this weather and missing my Charleston!
ReplyDeleteI love the napkins. So cheery!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and cheerful vignette Kim! Love those napkins! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteLove those yellow napkins, so cheerful! I am in New Zealand so we are moving into autumn here, but I still love to see what people are doing to prepare for spring.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely vignette and I am loving those checked napkins, the cow and the blue jug! Pamela
ReplyDeleteI just loved the whole 'show' I too love yellow..it adds the sunshine in :)
ReplyDeleteSaw the coloring pic yesterday, it was too cute!! Enjoy your family time and the upcoming celebration. Amazing. How blessed you are Kim :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, I am SOOOO looking forward to spring. I've started bringing in to This Old House too...
ReplyDeleteit is looking so pretty and spring-like. We're still a winter wonderland here, and I'm so over it. I can't wait until spring arrives in this part of the world!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely vignette which inspired me to take out my mother's china,"Forget-Me-Not"by Europa made in Czechoslovakia. The sun is shining in northeastern Ohio and the snow from yesterday is quickly fading.
ReplyDeleteKim- I love all your closeups. It looks absolutely wonderful and I love the silver and the florals! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove the vignette, Kim. Hope you get the chairs done soon so you get a BREAK!!! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteLove the pops of yellow!

A fantastic Spring Vignette.....my favorite colors of blue and yellow!....Have a great birthday celebration with your mom and sister...Happy Birthday to your mom...!!
ReplyDeleteKim, Happy Birthday to your Mom!!!! I know what you mean about a project taking longer than expected! I am the queen of "longer than I expected"!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see a spring vignette!!! LOVE the tulips and pops of yellow I an a yellow girl too! You have such a great eye for putting things together! I need spring to come here so badly!
Love that vignette and especially still loving that tray.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Very pretty and perfect for spring! Enjoy your day with your mom and sister.
ReplyDeleteChairs are so tricky. Their size makes it seem like it will be a fast project but they take a lot of time! I always kick myself when I start one. Can't wait to see yours all finished. Oh, and I love, love, love eucalyptus. Great crock too :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I can tell from the little bit I've seen of the chairs that they are looking lovely. I remember when I painted mine...I thought they would never be done. Plus I painted the buffet and table too....I don't ever want to do that again. Can't wait to see your's.
ReplyDeleteYou have totally inspired me to bring some of my crocks back in! Everything looks so springy and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKim, this looks fabulous!!! I love it all!
ReplyDeleteYour touches are beautiful, as always Kim! Love that tray too:). Enjoy your moms birthday, Jen
ReplyDeleteKim, it's always fun to see how you change things up. I like to use a tray on our dining room table too. Makes it easy to move the vignette off when we want to use the table for eating. '-)
ReplyDeleteI am becoming more attracted to the yellow check. I find it comforting and it feels like spring. Just lovely.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, pretty, Kim! Love the yellow check.
ReplyDeleteLove your centerpiece!
ReplyDeleteI would decorate all year with spring colors. Not a fan of fall and winter at all....the brighter the better. :)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Kim! Love those yellow check napkins! That wood tray will be in LOTS of pics I bet! So versatile!
ReplyDeleteYour spring vignette is really pretty. I love the pale, soft yellow. Your photos are amazing. I am dying to see your chairs...:)
ReplyDeleteLove the touches of silver...perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour vignette is very Spring-like and so sweet, Kim. Great job as usual!
ReplyDeleteI love you spring vignette. The crock with the flowers is a beautiful centerpiece. I love the pops of yellow and the crock holding your silverplate pieces. Darling.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
So pretty Kim, your vignettes are always just perfect. Still loving the buffalo check napkins:) Happy Birthday to your Mom!!
ReplyDeleteFlatware, dish, crock, and tray love...SWOON! Beautiful vignette!
ReplyDeleteThe Blue crock is so strikingly beautiful!! That would look great dressed up for the 4th of July!! :)
