Still living in a snow globe here and I’m ready for that spring feeling again. I’m just thankful our school district is roughing it and keeping school open - I am not about to miss out on summer days 😅 Hope you are having better weather where you are!! 🤗
🥶 They are saying that Seattle is going to have the snow-pocalypse over the next few days. Snow storm plans? We’ll be here. DŌ-ing cookieDō things with edible and bake-able @cookiedonyc and you can too with a 10% off code FEB10. 🥶 So many play on words in one caption, I dō apologize. 😘 Stay warm friends!
I’ve been itching to get back to decorating with a romantic and French vibe and this picture just inspires me so much! It’s from @shabbyfufu - always delivering the romantic and shabby decor goals. Her feed is filled with all sorts of beauty 🤩. Make sure to give her a visit and follow if you aren’t already!! 💖
Sometimes I wish my caption could just be a gif and you would immediately just get it without any words spoken. You feel me? Ok, great, back to my lazy Saturday morning. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend 😘💕
Keeping a watchful eye out and snarling at anyone who dares walk by our house with another dog - uhh the audacity 😜. Swipe for his amused face.
Happy Sunday friends! I hope you are having a restful and beautiful day and taking some time for yourself! Nothing says peace and serenity like the beautiful images of @frenchcountrycottage. This is my Sunday mood today 😍💖. Did you know she has a gorgeous book of her incredible photos you can order on Amazon? It’s a must have! Have a great rest of your weekend xoxo
After just 2 years with this decor, she told me she’s ready to change everything. The apple never falls far from the tree 🤪. I just updated her rug to a bigger rug from @safavieh because our old one was losing its softness. She’s a fan - and so is he 🐶💕. #safavieh #lovesafavieh #girlsroom#targetdoesitsgain#pbteen#kidsroom
Yup. I’m in love. This gorgeous kitchen is one of my favorites. @designthusiasm has amazing design inspiration. January is my favorite time of the year to gather as much inspiration as I can. She’s a must follow if you aren’t already! Have a wonderful night friends! xo
Do you keep your entry looking winter beautiful after Christmas? This is inspiring me to freshen up my front door again after I removed all the Christmas decor. This belongs to my sweet friend Sheila @maisondecinq and it’s simply perfect and could easily be left up past the holidays. If you want tons more inspiration, visit @maisondecinq and her blog - it’s beautiful! Hope you are enjoying your night xoxo❤️
Merry Christmas from my heart to yours 💖

Mother's Day Table Ideas

April 28, 2016 Ashley Hale
Blue and White farmhouse style dining room

Welcome to the Mother's Day Tablescape Blog Loop hosted by Randi Garrett Design and Kelley Nan. If you came here via Zevy Joy, I'm happy to have you and hope you enjoy my Mother's Day table.

Blue and White dining room tablescape and table design for Mothers Day

Mother's day is a perfect excuse to celebrate. My mother means so much to me and is really one of my best friends. I also celebrate my sister on this holiday as she was the first of us to have a baby (by just 10 weeks) and she is an an exemplary mother. Although she is hundred of miles away, we also honor my husbands sweet mother and miss her dearly on this holiday. I always miss my late grandmother as well, who I was very close with but her love and presence is always with us when we gather. This dining table belonged to her and is the place where we would gather together for many Mother's Day celebrations in the years before she passed - so naturally, it is very important to me.

Blue and White Mothers Day Table Design

You can read about how I refinished this table doing a DIY Restoration Harware Finish HERE. 

For this tablescape, I wanted to focus on the bright blue tones in these collected blue dishes I've found over the years. Some are from vintage shops and some I've found at HomeGoods and Anthropologie.

For the place setting, I started with Ikea woven chargers and Baroque white plates from World Market. Then I layered each of my unique blue and white dishes on top of linen napkins (also from Ikea). I then finished it off with the Baroque bowls from World Market.

Want to know a little secret? Im 30 years old and still don't have a complete flatware set! I just mix and match what I have and it's never disappointed!

For the table runner, I used something a little unexpected. Can you tell? This is actually a scarf and not a runner at all! I picked this scarf up at Target to get the exact color match I needed. If you can't find a runner that matches your look, I encourage you try this next time. You get a gorgeous and unexpected runner and scarf out of the deal!

For my centerpiece, its all about the dessert! I like to think that is my mantra in life and not just decorating! I love dessert and I love to bake. This is a vanilla spiced caked with cream cheese frosting and it's about to be devoured tonight right after this blog post is done ;). I used blue silk hydrangeas and blueberries to simply dress it up a bit.

To create a strong theme of blue and white throughout the space, I pulled in some blue accessories onto the buffet table and surrounding wall. I used New York seltzer bottles (which come in many different colors - great for decorating use), blue lilacs and blue and white ceramics to complete the look.

Lately, my sweet 5 year old has been more curious about what I do and has been telling me that when she grows up she is going to be a mommy and blogger! I can't help but melt a little when she says that.

With her help and the fact that the cake needs to be eaten very very soon, thats a wrap on this Mother's Day tablescape. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll leave you with a few final shots and a link to your next stop on this fun tour below!
