Southern Ideal Home Show Tablescape Competition

April 13, 2012 by carole 3 Comments

Didn’t want to do the Southern Ideal Home Show Tablescape Competition again for the spring show, especially since I participated in the fall show which I blogged about here.  I did not want to appear greedy but my design group was desperate for participants and I have a problem saying “no,” so there you have it. There were six tables in the fall but we only have four this time and, if I do say so myself, they are lovely and unique. We laughed that “blue” seems to be a theme for us all this time. In addition to the tablescape competition, our design group holds a big attic sale at the show with accessories and furniture selling for deep discounts. A peek at the tablescapes.

can you see the blue birds in the fabric?

largest fake parrot i’ve ever seen…and the electric candles even flicker

My fellow tablescapers delivered such an array of beautiful designs.  First of all, Meredith who designed a wedding table (or engagement dinner or a themed wedding event), complete with streamers hanging from a screen behind. So cute and whimsical and she’s so darn cute herself.

love the blue ikat mixed with pink and other delicious colors

Marie designed a beautiful table with lots of glitz and glamour.

Finally, Marguerite’s table with jolts of orange and blue and simply elegant.

love the fresh fruit amidst the asian theme

Even though my heart wasn’t in it and I had big client work this week, I’m glad I did it.  Good vignette practice, good exposure and good fellowship with my design crowd.

    Have to say I think yours is the best. Love that blue bird in the fabric and want to own the bird statuette in the cage.

    Thank you for the mention and a huge thank you for participating! You can sit out in September… as long as you promise to design another table at some point 🙂
