Hello sweet friends!
This table is for a Summer luncheon I'm planning soon, as a transition to Summer and using the guest rooms curtains that came down as I'm also planning to redecorate both rooms and replace them with 'Hunter Douglas' fabric shades as I did three years ago to the social area of the house.
In the meantime, some of you might remember three years ago I replaced my living room and dining room drapes for HD cloth shades and we are very happy with them. But, I repurposed the fabric from the curtains back then and had made three table cloths which came out really lovely.
I had placed the drapes several years ago to this lovely cotton floral chintz material, when my DDs were still teens. This is the type of material you also use for upholstery. So here they are, turned into a large tablecloth, along with 12 lined napkins.
I will be of course, using my new dishes from Mother's Day.
 |
| New china, tray centerpiece with a retro green and gold 'Bohemian' flower vase from my mother. Reticulated chargers and finally, repurposed table topper. |
 |
| The other side of the tray with the adorable teapot and bowl with lemons. |
 |
 |
| I opted for white on the buffet for a fresh Summer look... with my Portuguese pitcher and my mom's lovely white tureen. |
 |
| Here you can appreciate the chintz floral repurposed tablecloth I'm loving lately. Specially of all the pink it has. |
 |
| I like the look of the Retro-green and gold, 'Bohemian' flower vase my mom gave me several years ago. |
 |
| The tablecloth came out so pretty with the pleats hanging on the four sides. |
 |
| I have a collection of many doggies and here are a couple this time. |
 |
| In the tray a glass honey-bee jar bowl for the ones who would like their tea with honey, instead of sugar. |
 |
| I also had 12 dinner, lined in pink napkins done. |
 |
| The pleats were made on all four sides with the remaining fabric after cutting for the table top; to add the fabric for hanging, as the curtains were enough to cover the table only; but were very long and draped. |
 |
| I paired my green water glasses with the amber Italian crystal stems. |

What a wonderful way to reuse those lovely drapes! Your tablecloth and napkins are just gorgeous! The green rimmed dishes are such a compliment. Such a pretty table.
ReplyDeleteYour drapes made a pretty tablecloth, Fabby. It looks as though someone painted a watercolour on it. Loving your green dinnerware and tea things! The green is so fresh and lovely especially for this time of year. Lovely posting and thanks for sharing with us and joining me for tea.

ReplyDeleteThat table cloth turned out so nice (thumbs up on recycling :-), I love the pleats on the sides. What a lovely idea. I also love your tablescape, something refreshing about the greens, reminds me of life and of summer I guess. It would be a pleasure to dine on that table for sure. Wishing you all the best.
ReplyDeleteBonjour ma chère Fabby,
ReplyDeleteQue le temps passe vite ! Je me souviens parfaitement lorsque tu avais tout transformé déjà ! Tu es une véritable fée !
Ta table est somptueuse et j'aime cette impression de se sentir presque comme si nous nous trouvions en pleine nature.
Le vert de tes ravissantes assiettes rappelle celui des feuillages... Ton bouquet qui trône avec la même douceur et déclinaison de roses que celui de la nappe et des serviettes est splendide dans ce très joli vase que ta maman t'avait offert. J'aime beaucoup sa forme également. Les toutous sont là... Le bol à miel est très gracieux et donne envie de le déguster.
Ta table est simplement parfaite et tu as toujours ce goût exquis pour mettre en valeur les objets. La reine de la fête, c'est toi !
Bravo l'artiste !
Gros bisous ❀
Gorgeous, refreshing and heartwarming! I love re-purposed items as well. :)
ReplyDeleteWow Fabby your table cloth & dish make a beautiful table setting! Enjoy and thanks for the sweet comment and for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteWow, Fabby, this is just so lovely and elegant. What a great idea for using the drapes, and I love how you had the napkins lined. Your new Mother's Day dishes look so pretty and that vase is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteGuess I've complimented this genial way of using the drapery fabric for a lovely tablecloth with the pleats hanging down from the table top.
Your Mother's day china looks very lovely with it and you live in heaven with the abundance of fresh flowers to choose from!
