I never liked my chandelier so I draped
amethyst crystal drapery trim on it and
hung teardrop purple crystals from the arms.
The green country hutch is my favorite piece of furniture.
It is a very nice reproduction, I think.

My purple transferware platters and plates
on the walls are my favs!
The green linen drapes are unlined so the light filters in softly.

I found these wonderful rush seat chairs at a yard sale.
6 chairs and a table for $150 bucks!
A lovely setting for a country house by the lake.
Sigh! SO gorgeous! I love your dining room, and your table sets it off beautifully. I'm sending a link to my sister, whose china features violets. She will REALLY love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Amy! I love the open, airy feel of your dining room, and your china's beautiful. My heart skipped a beat or two when I saw your stemware. You probably already know this, but the pattern is "Flanders" by Tiffin, made from 1927-35. I had a pair of the tall water glasses like yours and broke one (not actually using it -- while cleaning up after doing a tablescape post last July!). I so enjoyed seeing yours, and they're perfect with everything you've shown us today!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment. Most of the window treatments in the house were done for the previous owners by a decorator in Bolivar, Tennessee. If they're dated, I don't care. I like everything he did. I'm sure he'd be flattered if you did something similar!
Warm regards,
Bill
I love the colours in your room! And the centerpiece! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your purples and greens! Your hutch is gorgeous!

So pretty! Those dishes are all lovely. I love what you did with your lamp...the beads and ribbon really dressed it up. Such an inviting setting.

The table is fantastic and the room is out of this world. What a lovely and pieceful setting. I like the christals on the light fixture -- really makes the room sparkle.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful table! I especially love those pink etched glasses. I also must say how much I love that dining room. I never would have thought of using purple and green in a dining room, but it truly looks amazing. Thanks for sharing and happy TT to you!
ReplyDeleteI love the cremy color of this china with the soft pastel decor. That and the center peice makes the table very springy, yes somehow airy. Like a fresh breeze on a warm day.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Johanna

ReplyDeleteI just became a follower of your blog. Love this room. My hubby has forbidden purple and it is growing on me. This room is lively!! I like what you have done with the chandelier too. I also love the lavender with the green. (Actually we have some lavender tiles in one of our old bathrooms--ha!
ReplyDeleteThis room is beautiful...your table just gorgeous! The pink and green is so lovely...one of my favorite color combos! I adore the cachepot in the center of your table...I think it would look good in my house too;)!
