I have touched on this in a few past posts, but over the years I have amassed quite the assortment of classic white serving and baking dishes. I am forever drawn to whimsical floral plates and platters, but because I only have so much storage in my kitchen almost all of my serving and prep […]

You all know by now how much I crave a little moment in my living space. Trays are one of my favorite accents to achieve this simply because they add another layer between a surface and an object. I love layering trays with a vase, candles, lamps – you name it! My recent vintage silver […]

In a recent Instagram Q&A I was asked about my favorite entertaining pieces and go to serveware I have on hand. Although we live in a very small apartment, I have amassed a nice collection of entertaining staples that makes it much easier to host small get togethers. Of course I dream of having a […]

A seasonal tablescape is one of my favorite decorating components to put together, especially in the fall.
