Festive tablescape: A how-to guide to smart Southern style


Each of us, whether a professional or a homemaker, has our own distinctive style. We all design and arrange our homes to showcase our personalities that are shaped by our lives. These personalities may be subtle or strong, but the backbone of a home’s style is built on experiences and memories. At the heart of all Southern homes is the table, in particular the dining table. Here a family gathers to pray, share a meal and discuss the blessings of each day. When mama assembles the family to eat it is a deeply respected and honored experience. It is also a way to entertain  our closest friends. The South is deeply rooted in tradition, and nothing is more important than friends and family. Nothing. Ask anyone who is a true Southerner and they will agree that the family meal is as sacred as going to church on Sunday.

Table scaping











Back in February we did the home show here in Nashville. We created a beautiful tablescape showcasing the possibilities and limitless ideas that anyone can use for their own table. Since the show we have received numerous emails from curious design enthusiasts on what creates a beautiful table, and what can be used to create a beautiful table. Here are some rules we live by:
1) There are no rules!
2) If it speaks to you use it!
3) Decide on a theme. Whether you are having a simple get together or an elaborate dinner party, pick a color, an object, a pattern or material and use it through out your table.
4) Have fun with it. (Remember number 1)
5) Dont be afraid to mix the expensive with the inexpensive. The photo above with the red chairs is a perfect example. The table is a beautiful raw limed oak and it cost $1700. But the chairs are an inexpensive outdoor vinyl and they cost $60. I brought them in from the outside! Have further questions? Email us and we will be happy to help you with your upcoming table dilemma. Amanda@abhomeinteriors.com
