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…

Oh Tess, you know exactly how I feel. Sending you a virtual hug and prayers.
audrey says
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
Catherine says
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.
Barb says
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.

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 ….

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.

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!
