ONEHOPE Wine Tasting

good friends | good food | good wine

Any excuse for a party is a good excuse right? My thoughts exactly. Even better is when you get to host a party where you can involve charity and wine. Interested yet? This was the case at my most recent home gathering where I had the good fortune of inviting friends and loved ones over to sip on some delicious wine and donate proceeds to my charity of choice: Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Cream & Black Tablescape

Neutral table setting for a spring~country look

Spring is in the air friends! My hens are laying and spending their days in the sunshine (see all those gorgeous eggs on the table). The grass is greening and the trees are budding. It's a magical time of year where everything comes back to life, and one of my personal favorites!

The transitional tablescape

Late Winter / early spring inspired dining decor
{whites, pewter & peat moss}

The transition from the holiday season to the Spring is one I look forward to every year. For me, it is a time of tranquility and reflection. A time to put away all of the "clutter" (mentally and physically) that can accompany the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and focus on the peace and clarity that comes with those late winter months.

Autumn-Inspired Tablescape

A simple & elegant table setup for my favorite season of the year!

Fall is truly a magical time of year in upstate New York. I love to drive along the country roads of Washington County with no real destination, just soaking in the beautiful foliage and antiquing in my favorite little village of Greenwich. Apple picking, mums, pumpkins, cider and leaves of golden hues covering the ground...it's no wonder I use the word "magical" to describe how I feel about this time of year.

Coastal meets Country: A Spring Tablescape

Create an elegant look using navy, gold and cream tones

I couldn't be more excited to "Spring Ahead" this past weekend and transition from winter to spring. The shift in energy and the colors are a warm welcome to long frigid winter we encountered. This season, I selected a mix of navy, gold and cream, and added pops of lavender and yellow to bring a cheery spring feeling to this tablescape. The inspiration of this look all started with the striped place mats. I thought they were the perfect 'anchor' (no pun intended) to my spring coastal look (place mats by Bar Harbor Dining Accents; table runner by Dansk).
