Our table décor and menus show our creative love!! Will you be hosting brunch, lunch, cocktails, or dinners…or all??          

How to build a Spring tablescape

What is in your mind’s eye for a festive get-together? What do you already have? What will refresh and make your 2022 hosting even more fun, loving and memorable? What will you need…colorful napkins, cloth, plates, glasses, and flatware??  It’s always fun to “shop in our closets” first…pull out dinnerware, linens, and recipes, then decide what and where you might be entertaining! Indoors or out: buffet, sit down…or picnic?? What will make you and your guests smile??

Are you baking or cooking up a storm, ordering out, or in? Williams – Sonoma and Neiman’s have some great gourmet ideas…salmon, caviar, blinis…even some Peter Rabbit edibles and collectibles for holiday, new baby, or happy weekend celebrations!! Plan ahead!!

Spring dinnerware

Everything looks and tastes better when “plated” on great dinnerware. Whether you are serving appetizers, dinner, or dessert! They can be simple or ornate! Quality and design speak volumes: porcelain, bone china, ceramic, stoneware, or glass. You set the mood to reflect the occasion and your taste! Formal, casual, rustic…all can be chic and fun!

Spring color schemes           

What will you choose for your themes and color schemes?  Maybe you’ll be inspired by a vintage or new plate, flower, dress, or scarf you would love to wear as the hostess??

Certainly, you know Home, Color, Flowers, Art, Antiques, and Design are some of my passions. What are yours for April, May, and the coming summer months?  Share them with your guests and enjoy entertaining inside or out!

Spring color ideas are everywhere…even New York’s Park Avenue massive profusion of glorious Tulips, that change color each year!! You might also choose from a favorite artist’s work (Chihuly, Koons, O’Keeffe, Hockney, Monet, van Gogh, Warhol), a bowl of colored Easter eggs, your god-daughter’s upcoming wedding (Blush), or a friend’s new baby boy’s arrival (shades of Aqua)?? 

You are the artist of your home and events!! 

Until next week ~ plan away ~ for all of your Spring entertaining with festive fun!!

Guest editor Marlene M. Kristoff gives us simple ways to add April flowers and scents to our home. 

Add April flowers and scents to your home

Spring April Fleurs – Daisies and Sweet Peas! Happy Spring! Happy Passover – Happy Easter to come, April 16 -17th.

‘Vogue Cover – March 1917’ Art Print (Art.com) | Florabunda Daisy Capiz Easter Eggs (Horchow)

April’s birth flowers

Special April has Two birth flowers: The charming Daisy and the Sweet Pea! 

Daisies are the “I’ll never tell” flower, conveying love, innocence, and beauty.  “Day’s eye” is in fact 2 flowers: the eye center and the ray petals…like the sun.  Quite the harmony for love and beauty!

Sweet Peas are a way to say goodbye, send good wishes, or convey thank you! 

The April in Paris variety is said to be the most fragrant…Orange Blossom – Honey!

Orange blossom

Orange Blossom is pure delight and even beloved as a wedding scent…so fresh and optimistic! It has inspired traditional and modern fragrances, for you and your home.  

Famed original Quelques Fleurs scent was first created in 1912 by family-owned Houbigant de Paris, which began in 1775! Their entire collection of scents is much loved throughout the world to this day!

Spring flowers, butterflies, and bees

Spring optimism is catching. It brings fleurs, bees, and butterflies out into the open to enjoy! Our homes are the perfect place to enjoy them and open our hearts and minds, along with our windows for a little freshness throughout our lives!!

Spring tables and entertaining are here too. Consider chic and charming appetizer and dessert plates that do double duty! Lovely to collect and gift as well! Cocktail and dessert parties are part of the celebrations of the season…bridal and baby showers, friends and family cocktail parties, and get-togethers! Wonderful, happy memories in the making! 

Holiday tables are in the planning stage for this month! Artistic influences abound for ourselves and our homes! I love sharing a few with you every week.

Guest editor Marlene M. Kristoff brings us the best Spring colors, flowers, and scents. 

Spring Colors, flowers, and scents

Spring home design

Bringing Spring into our lives and into every room of our homes is a joy! It is fun to create our home environments that “feed our souls” and nurture us.  Our homes are the “calm after the storm!”  No matter how many rooms we have 1,2 or 20…let them reflect our glorious Spring:  Entry, Powder – Bathroom, Bedroom, Living – Dining Room and Terrace!!

White/Silver Modern Silk  (The Rug Company)

Interiors today reflect our personalities…and style more than ever. There are as many styles as there are individuals!! Let’s see how we can uplift our spirits with Spring’s colors, flowers and scents this week, some subtle – some vibrant!

• Are we classic traditionalists and modernists at the same time??
• Do we sometimes love vibrancy…yet crave subtlety at other times??

‘March’ Giclee Print  (Art.com) | Winterthur’s Twelve Months of Flowers (Amazon) | ‘March’ Giclee Print (Art)

If you are a traditionalist, you might enjoy bringing Winterthur’s Twelve Months of Flowers into your home. The British horticulturist and author Robert Furber (1674–1756) created these wonderfully detailed floral works. Prints in numerous sizes and a book for recording birthdays and important dates have been published from this series over the years. Each month and its flowers become so personal when showcased on a wall…in almost any room.

They could read as family birth history or special marriage or birthday!! Personal and fun…. 

This beautifully subtle, mass of pale tulips in a simple footed crystal or glass urn is classically graceful on a dining table with Limoges, gold-rimmed dinnerware. It is equally at home on a Mid-Century Modern Platner Table by Knoll, in airy steel from Italy, or a marble Saarinen table à la 1956!

Crystal Alice Large Bowl (Neiman Marcus) | Bernardaud Palmyre Dinnerware Collection (Bloomingdale’s) | Platner Coffee Table (Design within Reach) | Saarinen Coffee Table (Design within Reach)

Bernardaud Jardin Indien Dinner Plate (Bloomingdale’s)

Spring colors & art

Bernardaud’s Jardin Indien Limoges Dinnerware is a beautiful combination of classic modernity for today! It has vibrancy and subtlety as well – depending on which pieces in the collection you choose, the color of linens, and accessories. Personalize to suit your home, personality, and entertaining style!  Artists have been influenced by the seasons for centuries…whether Monet, Cezanne, Warhol, or O’Keeffe! They are often readily identified with a specific style or genre.

‘Flowers, c.1970 (Yellow) (Art) | ‘Flowers, c.1970 (1 purple, 1 yellow, 2 pink)’  (Art.com) | ‘Flowers, 1965 (3 blue, 1 ivory)’  (Art.com)

Spring colors and flowers obviously influenced Andy Warhol, American, 1928–1987. Which of his works spring to mind? Possibly his wonderfully energetic POP silkscreened Portraits or Flowers. They are actually vibrant or subtle, depending on the color palette! 

You might arrange an entire vibrant wall with them…in almost any room, or subtly integrate pale tones in a serene blue–grey bedroom or bath. Thankfully, his foundation has authorized numerous reproductions. Art collectors today continue to seek his original works, long after his death in their glorious, original silkscreen form.

‘An Orchid, 1941’ (Art.com) |  ‘Pink Tulip, 1926’ (Art.com) | Georgia O’Keeffe: One Hundred Flowers (Amazon)

Spring flowers

How could we possibly think about artists inspired by flowers without the sumptuous, gigantic blooms of Georgia O’Keeffe (American 1887 – 1986)?  Her orchids are particularly sensuous, with breathtaking use of color gradations. Flower Abstraction, 1924 – An Orchid, 1941, and Pink Tulip are passionate works, beyond words and a few of my favorites! Georgia O’Keeffe: One

Happy Thoughts (Diane James Home) | BLOOMS La La Lavender (Diane James Home)

What would our homes be without glorious white or vibrant orchids? They usually remain with us for more than a month and sometimes reflower! 

Their beauty has been captured brilliantly by luxury floral artist Diane James in Connecticut. She uses the highest quality materials: natural-touch fabrics, real bamboo, preserved moss, etc. for many years of enjoyment.

Spring scents

Spring scents abound and I’ll share many in future weeks…for today, Jo Malone’s Vintage Gardenia has joyously reappeared for us to enjoy!

Until next Saturday, have fun bringing Spring’s Colors, Flowers, and Scents into your Home!

Home Flower Decoration

Aren’t we all ready for Spring 2022?? 

Spring is here – Welcome!

What does Spring mean to you…??  Is it your time to begin anew in your Home, Garden, and Life??  Spring…means Flowers to me – I love them all!!  Every type and color – elegant, charming, intimate, and classic! 

Spring flowers

They spring from bulbs, gardens, pots, trees, and in some parts…up from a snowy blanket to usher hope and springtime!! Hyacinths and daffodils arising from snow, forever remind me of my Ohio childhood. My dear Mother, thankfully, helped me catch her passion and love of all flowers, if not her very green thumb!

Enjoy the Flowers of Spring with me from my living room in San Francisco!!  Let’s explore, create happiness and capture more grace and beauty – no matter where we live!!

Creed Spring Flower Fragrance (Nordstrom) 

Fragrance may be part of their allure. Some of their heady scents are captured in a bottle by noses and fragrance firms throughout the world.  Creed has even named one of their lovelies Spring Flower, bottled in vibrant fuchsia!!  Nature brought them to us LIVE, so let’s enjoy fresh blooms to celebrate the beginning of our new season!

Carolyne Roehm, designer, artist, and author extraordinaire, and I share many passions.  Her numerous Books, Notecards, and Prints abound – I love sharing them with you.

Baccarat Lucky Butterfly (Neiman Marcus) | Baccarat Lucky Butterfly (Bloomingdale’s) | Charlotte Moss Flowers (Amazon)

During this beautiful season, I enjoy bringing blossoms of every sort indoors to brighten my day or office. This is one of the great pleasures in my life. 

Spring flower vases

Delightful calla lilies, camellias, daffodils, grape hyacinth, hydrangeas, sprigs of jasmine or apple blossom, and the wild varieties of tulips make their way into my collection of vases!! 

Each vase brings a memory. Some came from travels, some from antique jaunts. Many remind me of the person who graciously gifted it to me for a special birthday, occasion or Christmas. Vases are truly memorable gifts for the giver and receiver! I thought it would be fun to discover some of them together this week!

Clear Amalia Vase (Neiman Marcus)

Vases with fleurs of every kind bring charm, beauty, and life to every conceivable interior – home or office!

Mottahedeh Tobacco Leaf Cachepot (FX Dougherty)

These vessels can be simple or dear, modern or antique. They may be cups and mugs, mason jars, pitchers, teapots, and glasses of any shape. Charming and chic vases enliven, giving joy and special smiles, not only in springtime but throughout the entire year!!

Match Bud Vase (Neiman Marcus) | Christian Lacroix Herbariae Tea Pot (Williams Sonoma) |  Basket Teapo (Macy’s)

Blue & White Ultimate Planter Pot Set (Williams Sonoma) | Mottahedeh Salad Plate (Williams Sonoma)

Sometimes it is fun to group vases and blooms together on a dinner table, or at each place setting. They are lovely on a breakfast tray, nightstand, entry, and cocktail table. “Framing” a mantle at each end – symmetrical placement can be very effective. I love having them in the bathroom…and on my kitchen counter. They can be almost anywhere!! They are like little smiles to welcome you home, say hello to begin your morning doing your makeup, or be the last gorgeous thing you see before you nod off to dreamland! Their beauty is unmistakable…

There are many creative ways to arrange flowers. A single bloom is elegant and charming, highlighting the beauty of the blossom, as well as the vase. Crystal is lovely when the entire stem is beautiful.  It can be dramatic to cluster all in one color, shades of the same color, or all the same type of bloom! Have fun!

Iittala Aalto Vase (Macy’s) | Teardrop Vases (Macy’s) | Unity Glass Vase Set (Ballard Designs)

One of our most remarkably creative, living artists is Jeff Koons. His delightful 40’ flower-covered topiary Puppy, modeled after a West Highland Terrier welcomes one and all to the Guggenheim Bilbao! During my years with the Guggenheim New York, it was always a delight to visit this remarkable ever-changing sculpture. Puppy, later became a ceramic vase…bringing smiles to all in another scale!! Today, it is a prized, collectible work of art.

French Wicker Basket (Weston Table)  | Giant Clam (Ballard Designs) | Bloom Botanica Flowerpot (Blooming Dales)

Flowering plants

Flowering plants like primroses, geraniums, bromeliads, and greens also find homes in beautiful basketry and cachepots i.e., flowerpots-even from Georg Jensen!! Casual and modern containers can be charming on a front porch, terrace, or outdoor tables for our new season. All are available in numerous materials: wicker, porcelain, ceramic, glass, and many metals. 

Let your imagination be the judge! Each flower speaks to you! 

Have fun and Happy Spring 2022!! xoxo MMK

Have fun with your own home flower decoration!  And in case you missed it, yesterday, we showed you how to make a charcuterie board.

As part of our reset, refresh, and renew themed month, each Thursday,  I want to show you a room in my recently renovated house. The reason is simple:  many of us are spending a lot more time in our homes. And many of us have or are going to embark on a refresh/renovation of our homes.   My hope is to provide you with a little inspiration for your project(s). Last week, I took you through my studio basement. Today, I want to give you a tour of my renovated master bathroom. Take your shoes off again, and come on in. Let’s get started. 

Original bathroom

I actually have never given a glimpse of my bathroom on the blog. So here it is—the original state of things. Not much to say here, other than I want you to notice how small and (arguably) inefficient the space was used. This is important because I didn’t change the bathroom’s footprint during the remodel. The master bathroom comes in at 5’X18′, definitely small for a master bathroom, but that’s how many homes in the 70s were built.

The process 

Nothing more exciting than demo day and the ensuing process. With all of the planning and design work done, it’s time to get down to business.   From start to finish, this remodel took six weeks. (Same as the basement.)  Not bad, really. And what’s even more important:  the team was on-time and on schedule the whole way through.

Tour of my renovated master bath

Ok, now for the tour of my renovated master bath. The black & white palette serves as the perfect foundation for the bathroom. This tried, and true color combo gave me a lot of freedom and flexibility in the direction I wanted to take everything else. (And it’s worth calling out specifically the floral wallpaper. It’s that perfect blend between traditional- and modernism that I really strove for in my entire remodel.) 

Just a few notes:

• All of the fixtures, including the sconces, faucet, showerhead, and slide bar, are a sort of antique brass. They give the room just the right amount of pop. 
• I swapped the standing shower for a tub because there’s nothing like a good soak. 
• Although I didn’t change the bathroom’s footprint, I gained a lot of extra storage space by adding a large medicine cabinet across from the sink. 
• Given the small space, organization is key, and I spent a lot of time identifying additional organizers to help me maximize the space I do have.

Webber Coleman Woodworks 

Just like last week, a special shoutout to Webber Coleman Woodworks, who led the renovations in their entirety. I was introduced to the family-run cabinetry shop here, in Athens, through my daughter-in-law, who also had her bathrooms renovated through Webber Coleman. I can’t recommend this team highly enough.   The quality of their work is exceptional, and they hit every deadline on time. (And for anyone that has gone through a renovation, that actually might be the most important thing.). Make sure to follow Webber Coleman on Instagram, especially if you’re looking for inspiration for your home projects. 

In case you missed it

Remember, I’m giving you a tour of my newly renovated home all month. Don’t forget to check out last week’s tour of my renovated basement.
