How I Set A July Table

How I pulled together my Americana
themed breakfast table using things I have.
I brought out some of red dishes and a
few accessories to add to the blue
and it was done in no time.

Here's how I started. 

I'm using 2 kitchen towels for a 

country-style table runner. My red 

Coke crate is so Americana. 

 I filled it with an oil lamp because I like to
have candles or this lamp for a flame. It's
 nice to light it for dinners. I also added
Longaberger S&P with basket, extra
  plates, and a white ironstone creamer.

A red transferware tea set and a

hand embroidered apple tea towel are 

at one end.

This orchid is still in full bloom, so that's

included. I always like to have a fresh plant

or flowers on the table.

 I wanted to mix and match my blue and
 white dishes with the red.
 I tried several combinations.

 I liked all the combinations.

 There will be a constant mix each day
as I set the table.

 Here's another set-up.

 Ruby glass salad bowls. 

This is a good way for me to use some

of my incomplete sets. 

I love playing with dishes. 

I added extra blue and white pillows to 

the back of the wicker chairs to complete

the color combination. 

Everyday table setting for July.

Didn't take me long and I get to use 

play with the things I have. 

 Now time to sit and enjoy our morning joe

and a strawberry pancake...yum!

Cheers!
