The Beach Table: Maddiebella Home Coastal Table 2015

"The Coastal Table" is this year's theme.

As you know I love all things coastal, 

and as a California Girl, the love of the coast is quite appropriate.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy my coastal table design

as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Brace yourself, there are a lot of pictures this time...

I just couldn't resist.

 

Because the beach is a casual place, I placed 

my hubby's grandmother's silverware in 

a galvanized bucket for guests to grab as needed.

And, what's the Beach table without sand?...

The lanterns are perfect for setting the mood

for a beachside dinner.

A beautiful bottle reminiscent of sea glass keeps the design cohesive...

One of my favorite coastal DIY's thus far;

my coastal sea glass bottles and jars...

My DIY sea glass bottles are 

the perfect addition to my coastal table...

A view from above...

The coastal place settings...

And here's a secret.  This color palette and overall design for this

 table started from the inspiration I got from these adorable 

appetizer plates that my hubby picked up for me as part of my 

birthday presents...

 The beautiful starfish adorn my Pottery Barn hemstitch napkins just perfectly...

Full view of the place setting...

Starfish, seahorses, sand, and nautical rope...

it doesn't get more coastal than this.

The seafoam green on white with the sandy colors found 

in the rope and sea shells brings the palette of the coast to the table.

A recycled BEACH sign from last summer's coastal mantel 

gives the table it's name...

One of my first purchases for this table is 

this adorable Blow Fish plate from Pottery Barn...

Beautiful conch decor add a natural vibe to the design...

The place cards in form of these 

adorable little "Message in A Bottle"

will be sure to make my guest smile.

A collection of coastal novelties 

bring authenticity to my beach table...

One of my favorite pieces is this sea horse
magnifying glass.  Perfect for getting a closer look at sea maps...

The coastal dining table and buffet will

host many gatherings this summer...

And who can resist this beautiful creature..

I had to primp him up by giving him a few

blue "feathers" with my trusty craft paints...

He is perched just perfectly awaiting our guests...

I think he deserves a close up, don't you?!...

The chunky, rustic glasses are made in Spain, and

I love how their green sea glass hue compliments

my sea glass bottles just perfectly...

The nets are from lasts year's coastal vignette's, but I like 

how they make these glass bottles (also made in Spain)

look as if they have just been washed ashore and tangled 

up in a fisherman's catch...

The birch canvas sailboat is another one

of last year's recycled pieces... The pink

conch shell belonged to my hubby's grandmother...

 The caddy is perfect to showcase Maddiebella Home's 

coastal linen napkin collection...

 Tbe coral is from our travels to the Cayman Islands...

The shells are from my collection of shells 

I've picked up along the shore on Miami Beach...

This wooden frame in the the sea foam green 

color palette of my coastal table holds the thematic poem I created 

for my design...

Here is a closer look of the coastal poem 

I created for my Coastal Table 2015...

I hope you've enjoyed my Coastal Table 2015 design, 

and I hope you are inspired to create your own.

Have a Happy Summer...

 and Remember to keep your feet in the sand!

XX,

Betty
