Copy A Table ...:):)

    It was interesting to do a table setting for "Kathleen's copy a table challenge" for 11th  December.

     I selected a picture from the "Architectural Digest" magazine and the table scape photo was from the home of none other than the master designer himself "Ralph Lauren". I liked it instantly for the table had a Tartan fabric touch. Seeing it i felt it would be apt to copy the table for the  challenge and the season as well.As  all of you know the fabric is a natural choice at this time of the year.

    I spread the tartan tablecloth and used my red plates like the white plates used on 'RLs' table.Instead of a transparent hurricane lamp I have placed a red hurricane lamp in the center .I have also used  three stem glasses to match the picture setting.The side board in the picture has a  red hunting coat,candle holders and a lamp.Instead i have  placed a old Ficus Bonsai tree decorated  with red bows and a candle holder filled with potpourris  for my side board.I hope you all like it.






























Thank you for your visit and have a wonderful season....:):)

    A winter wonderland is on your table. Love your crystal and the sweet golden deer. This was a fun but hard task and you did great.

    I am fascinated by your bonsai tree with its red bows--such a great idea! Your table is beautifully finished with the tartan and the red centerpiece. I hope you enjoy a wonderful meal here! Linda

    All your reds and golds, together with the plaid, make for a rich, elegant table that definitely echoes the Ralph Lauren table -- nicely done!

    Very nice job! The tartan plaid really brings it home. RL really knows how to make things look rich, elegant, romantic and inviting! You managed to do it all too! Your bonsai tree looks cute with the red bows!

    What a beautiful table! I love anything Ralph Lauren and I am using the same Royal Stewart tartan on my real Christmas table this year. I like your red hurricane better than the plain one in the photos. I loved this challenge, but I was on vacation and never finished my post. Great job!!

    Ahhhhh....tartan!!! One of my very favorite design elements of the Christmas season! Ralph Lauren's world seems immersed in tartan, and that is a beautiful thing!!! I love it that you chose the work of RL to emulate for Kathleen's party!!! Such a pretty Christmas table!!!

    I love the RL table but I love yours more. Using tartan plaid in a tablescape automatically says Christmas to me. The golden deer and the red hurricanes launches your table far beyond the RL inspiration. Beautiful job of copycat inspiration.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M...

Coffee in the Bedroom

The bedroom, the place where we spend one-third of our life, is a special place indeed and it holds all the beautiful possibilities that we wake up to early in the morning. Enjoying coffee in bed along with reading the newspaper is something one looks forward to & it is a wonderful feeling after a hard days work too. Like many I love the smell and taste of coffee made from a Peculator, and it is also easy and quick to prepare coffee with. Having coffee in bed, along with breakfast on a Sunday morning makes you feel fresh, something that every heart would wish for. Presenting a coffee scape from my bedroom on an early Sunday morning & enjoy your cuppa. Please do visit Cusine Kathleen Please do visit A Delightsome LIfe
