Weekend decoration tips

As we do have a long weekend here in Belgium, I invited some friends to come over!

So I was browsing into my ‘decoration tips’ file. Since I started blogging I filed a lot of inspirational images which are very helpful whenever I have to create my tablesetting or if I want to redecorate my home bringing in only a few little changes. As I was printing some of the images, I thought that maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to share them with you.

 

First thing I always think about are flowers! I can’t imagine my house without flowers!

After all candles are given the right place, I start thinking about redecorating some room corners.

One of the most important things to create a succesful tablescape, is the way you display the napkins. Don’t you agree?

What will I do?

Do you prefer to display them in this way?  Source here
