I've done it again.
I've managed to disappear from blogland for another week.
My apologies.
I just don't know where the time goes anymore.

How about a tablescape?
It was a good day to play with a little black & white...
and toile. I love toile.
Did you know that in my pre-blogging days,
my dining room was done in black & white toile?
When I started lightening up the dining room, there
were just some toile pieces, I didn't want to part with.
Like these placemats, for instance.
Let's see...
Cream dinner plates are BH&G, from Walmart
White luncheon plates are Corelle
Black salad plates are from the Oneida Outlet
Black flatware is Cambridge, from Home Goods
Black goblets are from Kmart
I picked up the black metal coffee pot at an antique store last year.
I love the way it looks filled with flowers.
Tulips are my favorite!
It is always so much fun to play with dishes!

I'm crazy about toile, especially black and white toile, so I happen to love this table. I would love some of those place mats.
ReplyDeleteAnd I relate to the disappearance too. I have worked nonstop on a kitchen project and missed not one but TWO weeks so far. UGH.
Time does fly. Your table is so pretty with those colors. I love the tulip. Black and white, you an never go wrong.
ReplyDeleteGreat tablescape Gina!! Love the toile as well!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I am really loving the black and white color scheme right now! I'd love some Toile curtains. Those white plates are pretty too! The black goblets are very classy looking. Those tulips scream spring. Another fabulous tablescape Gina!
ReplyDeleteI've been painting for 2 weeks now, the time flies when you're busy. Hopefully things will slow down.
I love toile. Black and white always make a statement. Very nice Gina!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty toile table, Gina! I love tulips, too, and your look so pretty in your new pitcher.
ReplyDeletePretty table - and the centerpiece with fresh tulips are just perfect. I love the black glasses - so unique!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe tulips are so
pretty.

ReplyDeleteI've been scarce from blogland too, and have lots of catching up to do! ha! LOVE your black and white toile tablescape! The goblets made my heart do a little flip, ...were they a recent find? And the tulips in the black watering can are precious, ...pretty too! :)

ReplyDeleteGina, your black and white tablescape is gorgeous! I love the toile placemats and the black metal coffee pot is just perfect with the tulips. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGina - there is something about Toile! I like the way that you mixed your plates (cannot believe that gorgeous one, from Walmart?). I, also, like the way to added the little touch of pink in the tulips - oh, there is something about tulips, too!! Your black stemware is great, too. Love it all!!
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to toile. As in, I absolutely LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Tablescape and love having you back. I'm babying the ideia of doing an Easter Tablescape in Black and White, so great inspiration in your.
Thanks,
Teresa

i love the touch of pink with the tulips. so pretty
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome with the tulips Gina! Great winter tablescape to cheer ya up. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat table! I love the mixture of patterns on the placemats and runner. Your black coffee pot makes the perfect vase for your beautiful tulips. Tulips make me smile, sing of spring I guess.
ReplyDeleteI love your black and toile tablescape, Gina! I've changed a lot of my decorating style since my pre-blogging days, too! I still have the toile wallpaper in my dining room, because I still really love it!
ReplyDeleteI think we all understand taking a little break from blogging here and there. I do it all the time! There are just some weeks when it doesn't fit into the schedule! Or some weeks when the creativity valve has been shut off. Whatever the case, it's good to take the time we need to rejuvenate! Look at this gorgeous table...this is the absolute picture of rejuvenation!!!!!! I love black and white together so much. It just always has such a fresh look! I would love to do my kitchen and dining room in black & white. The colors work year round and can have other colors easily added for variety. I LOVE the coffee pot you used for the tulip display!!! Just beautiful! Have a great weekend, Gina!
ReplyDeleteI love toile, too and the black and white is so pretty. It's been hard for me to get back to a regular blogging schedule, but I am trying :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Laura
Your tablescape looks amazing! I love your toile place mats and actually have a similar set:)
ReplyDeleteI fall behind on blogging also and, if I remember correctly, you also work full time? I don't know how you do it!!! A break once in a while is a good thing:)
Love the tulips and the toile. I'm glad you hung on to those place mats too!
ReplyDeleteI love your black and white tables cape! Black and white toile has always been one of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteI have not used black and white but have used toile. I always like the look of black and white and your tabe looks fabulous. The tulips really pop!
ReplyDeleteAs a love of all things toile, I love your tablescape. The black and white scheme is so crisp and sophisticated. Love the bright tulips in the black pitcher. laurie
ReplyDeleteI have become a fan of toile over the past year. Lovely table with your black and white theme. You can't beat black and white anytime.
ReplyDeleteOooh loving the black and white...so classy! Hope you are surviving winter...is it over yet?
ReplyDeleteI really have a crush on toile right now, and you have used it beautifully on your table. The coffee pot makes such a cute container for your tulips. We all have to go MIA from blogland now and then. The weather has been stopping some projects of mine! (That's my excuse, anyway!)
ReplyDeleteOut of all your tablescapes you have done this one is my fav! Of course I love black and white. It is stunning Gina!
