2017 Tablescapes Showcase

The post this week showcases the 2017 tablescapes. My goal was 52 tables, but I fell short due to the Hurricane Irma evacuation in September and the sudden illness and loss of my Dad.    I created 41 tables this year and I really enjoyed designing and styling each one.   It's hard for me to pick a  favorite as I love each one.   It makes me happy to walk in the dining area each day and see a pretty table.  I also use my table for breakfast and dinner each day so I really get to enjoy each creation.   I look forward to designing more tables in 2018.   I'm already planning the Winter Olympic Games, World Cup and the Royal Wedding table.   2018 is going to be a fun year of special and eclectic tables.  

Enjoy the review and please stop in for a visit in 2018. 

Featured tables in 2017

The tables above were featured on several tablescape link parties this past year.  It's a great honor to have others appreciate your creations and designs.   

The top three post of 2017

Red Right Return & Hurricane Irma had the most visit with 1,498 views. Within a few hours of posting this one at the end of September I had over 1,000 views.  For a moment I thought I had been hacked.   The place mats were made using a very popular Lilly Pulitzer print.  I shared the link on the Styling My Lilly Facebook page and it was very popular.  Sadly I was only able to enjoy this table for two days.  I put it up on a Sunday and by Tuesday I was taking it down in order to prep for Hurricane Irma and evacuation.  I will restyle it and use it again this coming year and hopefully no more hurricane visits this time. 

Winter Blues came in second with 568 visits.  This table was also featured on the Dishing It & Digging It Link Party  and the Make it Pretty Monday Link Party.  I love a blue and white theme tablescape. 

The Inauguration Dinner Party table came in third with 542 visits.  I enjoyed designing this table.  It was fun pulling our my wedding china and fine crystal for this one.   I am already planning the next one in three years and collecting items to use on the table.

The most comments 

Do You Want to Build a Snowman? was the first table in 2017 and it had the most comments of any of the blogs this past year.  It was a fun and simple little table that was inspired by several friends sending me pictures of similar tables. 

 Below are the 41 tables posted this past year.
