Colorful Summer Table

Summer is calling!  Telling me I need to set a casual fun table!

When I saw these light turquoise and orange chevron napkins - they just sang summer to me.


I paired them up with some matching pillar candles, keeping the center piece light.
Some fun summer drinks and mugs
and some cute straws!
I stuck with mostly white plates, and popped an orange scalloped dinner plate in there for some additional color.
I ended up with a bright, breezy summer look.
Ready for a respite from the sun on those weekend days we spend working in the yard.

Sources for the table:
Placemats, Napkins and Flatware - HomeGoods
White Chargers - Old Time Pottery
White Dinner, Salad Plates, Parrot Coconut Juice - World Market
Orange Plates (on Clearance now) and Candle Holders (dark, spray painted white) - Target 
Mugs - Marshalls last year


I have been a bit busy these days because we have a new addition to our family!Meet our new puppy - Lucy!
 With being on constant puppy watch - not a whole lot is getting done around here!!  She is a challenge and Brandy has been a big help watching over her.
In no time - Lucy will be bigger than Brandy.
Lucy is half Golden Retriever and half St. Bernard, Brandy is half Golden Retriever and half Lab.
It is going to be many Dog Days of Summer around here!

Thanks for stopping by!

In the past few years my interests have grown from fabric to paper and now to dishes too! I just love prints, polkadots, plaids and paisleys- hence the blog name.

  2. What a beautiful refreshing table, Ann. Great color combo. I saw those napkins, waffled back and forth, ended up leaving them for someone else...now I am sorry.
    Lucy is adorable.
    Have a wonderful week.

  5. Wow, the color combo is absolutely perfect! I'm pretty nutso when it comes to any shade of turquoise and think it goes with just about any other color you opt for -- love it with the orange!

  6. Oh my! I don't know what's cuter - your table or your dog(s)! Love the aqua and orange together - it's a real attention grabber and reeks of summer! Two favorite colors of mine personally also. Visiting from Kathleen's - thanks for sharing. :)

  7. Congratulations on your newest family member! Yes, you'll be kept quite busy over the coming months!!!

    I love those polka dot straws!!! Those are just way cute!!! I have seen stripes and other designs, but never polka dots!

    The whole table is pretty, and the chevron napkins really step out front & center. I love the bold color choices and the fact that you paired up TWO instead of going with just one. Very cool!!!! They really complement one another and give the table a real designer look.

    Enjoy the remainder of your week, Ann!

  10. Ann, Hurray for the dog days of summer!! Lucy is adorable and I hope pretty Brandy is getting attention too. Puppy times--so much work as I recall! And so much fun, too. Your table is so cheerful and welcoming. A wonderful place to enjoy the Coconut Water. I will be on the lookout for some! Linda

  11. Your colors are terrific for summer and the chevron napkins wrapped together is great. I saw the napkins at Home Goods but I chose another pattern but same colors therefore I will remember your ideas when setting a table. The candles are the perfect touch to the centerpiece. Have a great week!

  17. Wonderful tablescape. I love the combination of turquoise with orange, they are so pretty together and they really do "scream" summer. They placemats are my favorite and it's great how you matched up the iced tea cans too. Good luck with Lucy - she's adorable!
