Today’s Fearless Friday combines sunny sunflowers and easy painted pieces in a tablescape for a Summer Tablescape Hop hosted by Katherine of Katherine’s Corner
Even though we are all starting to think about fall, summer’s not over yet so here we go!
Be sure to visit all the great summer tables by clicking on the blue frog at the end of the post
I set this sunny “table” for 2 on the elevated end of the kitchen island
the coastal breezes don’t come up until the afternoon in August, so it is HOT outside in the am
We love fruit for breakfast so there are plenty of options to choose from
Summer colors and happy painted abstract pieces mingle with sunflowers and pink roses for a bright start to the day
Mixing and matching
An orange rattan charger holds a poppy plate from the Pioneer Woman’s Walmart collection
The ceramic fish bowl and the shells on the burlap ruffle runner are a nod to our coastal location
See the easy shell & burlap ruffle table runner tutorial here, and the Chalk Painted Pitcher here
The mini dome in the centerpiece holds cookies for afternoon snacking
The mini cake dome is painted simply with stripes, dots and squiggles
I was inspired by my favorite designer, MacKenzie-Childs
The pink roses are also just simple strokes
You can see the same roses on Little Miss Fancy below
Two strokes, like parenthesis, close together
The leaves too are just a quick small swoosh, I use both yellow and a dark green on my brush and let the colors mix when I stroke
Be sure to use paint made specifically for glassware and follow directions for curing
The abstract design on the tray and glasses is made with repetitions of polka dots, swoosh stroke, stripes and squiggles
I didn’t paint the chunky candlesticks, but it would be easy to create your own with simple strokes and colors
You can see a tutorial for Painting Silver candlesticks here and Custom Candlesticks here
