Blue and Green Dining Room Ready For Spring
Is it starting to feel like Spring where you are? It is in San Francisco! So I decided to add some sky blue and grass green accents in the dining room. Spring is popping up in Cindy and Annie’s dining rooms too… follow the links at the end of the post.
Blue and Green Dining Room Accents
Here is what I did…
Layering The Table with A Runner and Chargers
I set the table with a blue runner and round woven placemats.
Flowers, Candles
White Plates and Blue Bowls
I bought the blue and white Chinese bowls from Pearl River Mart when our daughter, Alexandra was studying in New York.
Cloth Napkins and Colorful Glasses
Here is a little slide show…
Changing The Slipcovers To Green
It was time to wash the sand linen slipcovers on these black chairs in the bay window…and I remembered that I had these other Spring green linen covers stored away. It feels like we have new chairs!
The fabric is by Raoul Textiles. The vintage rug is a from Turkey on Etsy.
And that’s our Blue and Green Dining Room ready for Spring.

Let’s go see what Cindy and Annie have going on for Spring in their homes…
What a beautiful family. She made the world a better place and will always serve as an inspiration. And her love, kindness and strength certainly lives on in you and yours.
Thanks so much, Jayne…she did make the world better!
I am so sorry for your loss. Peace.
Thank you so much!
Lovely inspirational post.
Just read on Cindy’s blog that your mum has passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. I know that you will miss her dreadfully, but you have such great memories and the knowledge that you were a wonderful daughter and she knew how much she was loved by her family.

Oh Mary Ann,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. You brought her to life on the blog, through the pictures we got to know her. She was a beautiful lady. My condolences to you and your family.
Sue
Thank you, Sue.
I’ve enjoyed all your posts since joining last year. We are strangers to each other but after reading of your mother’s passing, I will always remember you lost your mother the same day I lost my amazing sister. My condolences to you and your family. Remember the good times.
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry for YOUR loss. Take care.
Dear Mary Ann,
I was moved to leave my first comment to you to wish you peace following the death of your mother. Losing a parent is a very hard thing. Hoping that in the days to come the memories of the time you spent together will bring you joy.
Kendra
Thanks so much for commenting, Kendra. Means a lot to me.
Love the green and blues. The slip covers and so pretty! Your table is so pretty (taper candles🥰) and the fresh flowers and greens are just perfect. Thanks for all the ideas! Prayers for you and your family for your sad loss.
Thanks, Barb!
Love the way you use the blue and green. Such pretty slip covers- light and fresh! and your table is just beautiful (taper candles🥰). I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
Thanks, Barb.
Absolutely gorgeous table setting, Mary Anne. I am so sorry for the tremendous loss of your mother. You and your family are in my prayers
Thank you, Laurie!
MaryAnn, I am so very sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. It sounds like, from your prior posts, she lived a long, beautiful, and happy life. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family, and I hope you are able to come together to celebrate her life.
Amy, your are right. My mom did have a long, beautiful and happy life.
Your dining room is so beautiful and cheerful. I know that isn’t how you feel right now with the recent passing of your mother. Condolences to you and your family. xoxo Lisa
Thank you, Lisa!
Sending prayers and hugs to you and your family – so sorry to hear about your Mother’s passing.
Maybe not today, but I hope soon you will be comforted by happy memories.
Be well.
I’ve spent a lot of time looking at photos of her, Amy, during happier times.
So sorry to hear about the death of your Mom! Safe travels. Wishing peace and comfort to you and your family.
Thank you, Gina,
Fresh, beautiful color combinations for spring. I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family in this difficult time..you must cherish having had one last birthday with her❤️
Linda Fant
Thank you, Linda.
Mary Ann, I love this color combo, so fresh and looks like spring is in the air. So glad to see that pretty green coming back and you’ve incorporated it into your gorgeous home perfectly. The rain made everything so green, hope we get more.
Thanks, Gail!

Karen
Thank you, Karen.
How amazing and generous that you should think of cheering and inspiring others when your heart must ache. I’m so sorry about the loss of your sweet mother. Clearly she was a lovely soul who raised a lovely soul.
Thanks, Sarah. Luckily I wrote most of the post before she fell the last time.
So sorry to read your news. The passing of your mother will be hard and my warm thoughts go to you,
Thanks, Dee. I know this pain will be hard on us, but I am so glad she is out of hers.
Mary Ann, I am so sorry to read of your loss. You are a bright light, and I’m sure she was too. Joy she gave, joy she has found.
There are a lot of joyful people in heaven right now, Ann.
Oh, Mary Ann, I’m so very sorry about your loss. My dear mom passed away 10 days ago – it’s so painful, isn’t it? I feel like a 58-year old orphan. Thank you for the post full of cheery pops of color, but hopefully you can forget about the blog for a few days and practice some self-care. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Oh Tess, you know exactly how I feel. Sending you a virtual hug and prayers.
Like your other readers, I am glad you shared your mom on your blog. Besides noticing what a lovely woman she was, it was very apparent that you have been a devoted daughter. I lost my mom over 20 years ago but I discovered that when you talk about your mom she’s still with you. The first months are the hardest but I promise you the day will come when you will think of something funny she said or did and you will laugh and smile through the tears. Sending you a virtual hug. xo
Your mother always radiated such a beautiful light in the photos you posted of her. Thank you for sharing her with us. You have inherited that light, and the ability to bring joy to your readers. My sympathies for your incalculable loss.
Sincere sympathy to you and your family. It doesn’t matter how old your mother was nor does it matter how old you when you lose a parent, the loss is no less profound. Take care, be strong, be well.
So sorry to hear about your mother passing away. My heart goes out to you and your family!
Dear Mary Ann
I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She will always be in your heart, and I hope your happy memories of her will comfort you.
Sending hugs and prayers for you and your family.
XO Heidi
I’m so sorry about the passing of your mother.

The loss of a mother is so difficult. As your grief overwhelms may you take solace in what was, what could have been, and what is yet to be.

Mary Ann, I am so very sorry to hear about your mother. My mother passed away almost 19 years ago and it was very tough in the beginning, and then every holiday and birthday was difficult, and finally …. I realized I would think about her and the memory would make me laugh or smile. I pray for you that the time and distance to those happy memories is not too long.
Thanks for the uplifting words, Cynthia.

That was a refreshing walk in the park. It reminds me how much of a slug I have become this year!! UGGHHHH. Love the blue bowls. A delicious addition and that it comes with a lovely memory, even better.
So sorry to hear about your Mom. She knew she was loved by many. Thinking of you.
Thanks so much! You are NOT a slug. 🙂
PRETTY……………
I DID NOTICE THE LIVING ROOM CHAIRS IN ANOTHER POST!I THOUGHT DID SHE HAVE THOSE RE-COVERED AND IS NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!

Thanks, Mindy.
Mary Ann! I love the touches of Spring! The colors are so fresh and mixed with the bowls from Pearl River, the candles, the mix of glassware, it’s all so fresh and looks so beautiful with your ever changing gallery wall! I love how some of the colors in the art really pops mixed with the items on your table! The blues and the greens…it makes you see it in a new perspective every time I see it! And I didn’t even know those chairs were slipcovered! That view never gets old! You have the best style Mary Ann in any season!
xo
I love you, Annie. Your post is so clever.
I’m so sorry for your loss!
Thanks, Valla.
I absolutely adore that color combination, so fresh and fun! You always set the most gorgeous tables and the light in your apartment really brings out the beautiful colors. I can’t believe you pulled this off with all you are going through. You are my hero!!
Thank you, Cindy. Loved the color and pattern in YOUR post.
