Welcome to my Bistro inspired
dining table!
A morning breakfast table has been set
and is ready to go!
A new set of dishes inspired me...they are called
Bistro de Paris
After exploring pictures on the internet I noticed a common thread with Bistro tables. They are simple, have a tablecloth and always have a floral arrangement.
I made a trip to my garden to create a casual bouquet for my table
The hydrangeas are perfect right now and the Stella d'Oro Lilies are displaying a 2nd round of flowers, I also included Black Eyed Susans, Russian Sage, Yarrow and a Cone Flower...
I used these black dinner plates like a charger to separate the checkered pattern on the table from the dishes.
My Pottery Barn napkin rings were used to casually gather the napkins.
For effect, I used the manual setting on my camera, changed the F stop and created an early evening look...
And there you have it...my morning bistro
setting for two!
P.S.
I have to show you how these dishes came too...
I love the box and plan to keep it!
It's oval in shape and I can store the dishes in it
when not in use.
My Stemware which I didn't seem to capture very well in my pictures. They are made by LaRochere
Thanks for visiting!

Merci pour la vistite

Liz this turned out really cute!!! Love the dishes and believe it or not I bought the very same glassware!! I've been collecting bee things since I bought that bee pillow and rug for my family room. They look great with your new dishes!! I love the table!
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! Love your sweet table and your new dishes. Gorgeous flowers too youu're using! :)

Liz, Your table is so cheerful and love the red and white checks and your stemware. Pretty!! It's good that your flowers are still blooming. We have cooler temps and our roses and gardenias are starting to bloom again.

Hi Liz, I would like a French dip and some pommes frites, merci beaucoup! Just beautiful. Dishes are the cutest, love your hand picked bouquet. Makes all the gardening work worthwhile. Au revoir! xo
ReplyDeleteThe french bistro look is charming. The new dishes are so cute. Your flower centerpiece is so pretty and freshly picked from your garden. Love the Cafe Chez Lizzie name....Even, the box matches.
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming table setting! And I love the box that the dishes came in. How cute!
ReplyDeleteVery, very, very cute, Liz! I love how the dishes came packaged- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the wonderful world of tablescaping, Miss Liz! You've come back with a barn burner!!! Wow...I love, love, love the dishes!!! They really do look like something you'd see in a fine bistro! I really like the tablecloth, too. That wide swath of darker checks really makes it stand out! This would make eating croissants and sipping cafe au lait even more special!!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the bistro look! You new set of dishes spells c-h-a-r-m to me! What a cute table this all makes. I'd save that box too. You can use it for more than just storage.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful location for morning coffee. You've created such an inviting space, Liz! I only have a breakfast island and a formal dining room table, and I would LOVE to have a space like this.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!

OOh you took me all the way back to any charming bistro along the rue st. Germain in Paris.. I love the dishes! Totally liking those napkin rings too. It's just a wonderful setting. I do the same on my camera.. I even take it to the P (aperture priority) and lower the light that comes in.. works too. Your shot with the candle and the glass from the door is fabulous. Love the flowers too.. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful table. I just love this simple look. Your flower arrangement is beautiful. Things are really fading away in my garden so it is nice to know there are things blooming somewhere. Just love your new dishes and your glasses. Charming!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post and I adore the tablecloth! I am so impressed at your use of your camera. I am still on the auto setting. :o)
ReplyDeleteLove it Liz! Such a cute bistro setting. When I looked at the vase holding your flowers I immediately thought of the Eiffel Tower! I have the same stemware. Aren't they the most versatile stemware. I love them and use them all the time! Have a wonderful weekend.
