No Words Required: Tablescapes {Dining Outdoors}

Several weeks ago, I posted  a few of my favourite indoor dining tablescapes and promised that from time to time I would dust off the image collection and share it at On The Apple Box.

With the long weekend right around the corner, I'm excited to put together my first 'picnic' of the year and looked to my inspiration boards for ideas.  I hope you feel inspired too!

I love all of them, but my pick is this look:

I can't wait to start putting it together!

Now where did I leave that darned chandelier!?!

Reimagined Monday: Summoning Blue Skies

We're doing something a little different today at Reimagined Monday. It has been a bit grey lately, and we're hoping that surrounding ourselves with summery colours might shoo the clouds away and summon blue skies.

Here are some "reimaginings" that have perked us up here at the boutique -- Get your own beachy, seasidey, cottagey look using the lovely array of blue chalk paint by Annie Sloan.

Annie Sloan summery blue chalk paints...

Aubusson Blue

Duck Egg Blue

Greek Blue

Louis Blue

Napoleonic Blue

Provence

 Mix them with Old White for variations of shades, or mix them together for custom colours.

One more breath of fresh air...

Happy painting!

Here is how to share your reimagined paint project at On the Apple Box:

Send us a description of how you used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to get from your vision to the reimagined piece, before and after pictures, pictures of your project in progress or a couple of it in its finished state, and you may be highlighted on our blog!

No Words Required: Tablescapes {Dining Indoors}

I love imagery.  I love whimsy.  I love romance.  I love that fluttery feeling you get when you see something or someone you love.  Sometimes, no words are required.

From time to time I will post some pictures from my hoarded coveted collection of images... things that make me feel fluttery.   I hope you will find something you adore in their midst, too.
