I have always loved tablescapes. My mom made us set the table every.single.night. growing up. She was a wiz at throwing together an amazing table for dinner parties and holidays. And then I married my husband whose mom not only set her dinner table but also set every breakfast and lunch table (to the nines). So I like to say that my love of table setting runs in the family.

I could spend hours looking at Pinterest and Instagram gathering ideas for my next table. However, up until recently I never spent the money to invest in items to set my table how I wanted. The cost of everything I wanted seemed overwhelming so I just never pulled the trigger. When we moved into our new house I decided it was a good time to buy two new sets of plates (the plates that are pictured). I loved them and used them a lot so when the quarantine of 2020 happened, I started doing some research on my next set. I really think it is the one great thing that has come from being stuck inside, I have had time to find all the pieces I have want to make my Tablescape dreams come true.

One of my favorite tablescape finds is my Estelle Colored Glasses. I have followed their account on Instagram for a while and always dreamed of having a cupboard full of their beautiful colored glasses (just look at this dreamy photo). They have everything from lavender, coral, rose, cobalt, etc. Every color your tabletop needs. When you see the glasses your mind just starts spinning with ideas. It was hard to choose a color but since I have so many items in green and I felt it was perfect for summer, I went with Forrest green. It is gorgeous and perfect for all of my future tablescapes. I am truly blown away by the quality of these glasses. They are sold for $175 for a set of 6 ($30 per glass) which is an exceptional price for luxury hand-blow glass. Each glass is thick and sturdy which is a really nice break from the thin and very fragile glass that was popular a few years ago.  I am not lying when I say how beautiful these glasses are and how they really complete my table. I am hoping to add the Coral Peach Pink set to my collection next.

I am so excited to continue to bring you tablescapes. They have saved my sanity in this time of quarantine and have been so fun to create.

Since the warm days are upon us I have been spending so much more time poolside. One of the questions I have been getting asked is where our outdoor furniture is from. Before we were moving, I spent a lot of time choosing which furniture I wanted. It is such an investment and I knew I wanted something that would stand the test of time and the Texas heat. I spent months looking for the perfect pieces but I kept going back to Serena and Lily. I loved their classic and clean style. Every time I looked at their website it was exactly the vibe I wanted to walk out of my house to every day.

We started with the Serena and Lily Pacifica chaise lounge, which are extremely comfortable. We do use covers when we aren’t using them but they have really held up well thus far. The back of the chair is adjustable which makes it perfect for reading, lounging or napping. After the chaise lounges were chosen I picked the umbrellas that were one of my favorite items on the website. They reminded me of something you would see at a boutique hotel or in a Slim Aaron’s picture.

One of the last items we purchased was the Crate and Barrel Regatta table. I knew I wanted a teak wood table to keep with the classic theme we had going on. I love the look of natural teak and how it offset all of the white we had previously purchased. I love this table so much however, it is worth noting that teak wood is very sensitive to water and sun. We cover this table when we aren’t using it but it has still be suseptible to the outdoor conditions. We weren’t told that you are supposed to seal teak wood to keep it the natural color and protect it from water and sun. This is a project that is on my husbands to-do list.

The chairs for the table are the Serena and Lily Capistrano dining chair. I love the way they look with the table! They don’t fit all the way under the table so you would need to buy separate covers for them other than the cover that you use on the table. We haven’t been covering these chairs and I have been surprised how well they have held up. They also come with cushions (Not pictured) which make the chairs very comfortable for a meal.

 

House Dresses I am Loving Right now

Quarantine has me buying all the comfy house dresses. I honestly don’t feel my best in workout clothing. I feel like I rolled out of bed and gave zero effort, and for me, I need to get dressed to feel productive. I went through my camera feed and picked the last five dresses I wore. I wanted to share links and sizing incase you too want a comfy and cute house dress to wear around.

Sleeper makes some of my favorite, no-fuss house dresses. They are linen so be prepared to have a wrinkle or two but they are so comfy yet beautiful. I wear them around the house, to run errands, and even out to eat. I own four and love each and every one.

Sleeper “Atlanta” Linen Dress in Azure Blue – Wearing a L – This dress is gorgeous. The sleeves are a tad more annoying than I wanted them to be but you feel so gorgeous in this dress you don’t even mind them. It also comes with a matching hair ribbon to make for the ultimate quarantine outfit.

Sleeper Brigitte Dress in Navy – Wearing a XL – This was my first sleeper dress! I have worn it SO.MUCH. I love the navy because it isn’t sheer at all so you can wear it around the house and around town. I am wearing an XL and I feel like the linen stretches a bit so when I went to buy the Atlanta dress I went with an L. I love the short-sleeves for summer. It is the perfect dress to have in your closet for the warmer months.

Rails Valentina Dress – Wearing XL – I am not going to lie, I wasn’t quite sure about this dress at first. It took my husband telling me to keep it for me to fall in love. I worried that it was too oversized (I don’t think I needed to size up for the bump). However, out of all the dresses this is the one I wear the most. IT IS SO COMFY AND SOFT! I feel like I am wearing pajamas but it is a really cute dress! I think I put it on every other day! I can’t explain how soft the material is. I also like that it covers my arms and has plenty of room for my growing bump. I will definitely be wearing this postpartum with my new Superga sneakers!

Emerson Fry Baja Caftan – Wearing XL – This dress is just easy. I love the silhouette and that it is light-weight so I can wear it all summer in the Texas heat (postpartum). It is linen so it can be a touch sheer. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if this one looked great on me either but my husband also told me to keep it. I am so happy he did! It is one of those dresses you are just happy to have in your closet and at your reach. Like I said, it is just easy. 

Edith House ‘Boca’ Dress – Wearing L – I LOVE the Boca dress and that it comes in three color ways. The cotton is really soft but also structured. The sleeves make for such a lovely detail. I have worn this to the store with sneakers and around the house with horseshoes. I reach for it a lot in the afternoons when I want to look pulled-together for dinner… in our kitchen.
