Fantastic Find: Belgian Linen Napkins You Can Afford

Woven from Belgian flax and finished with a simple hemstitch, these Stone-Washed Belgian Linen Napkins ($36, originally $40) would be a great buy even if they weren't on sale.

Woven from Belgian flax and finished with a simple hemstitch, these Stone-Washed Belgian Linen Napkins ($36, originally $40) would be a great buy even if they weren't on sale.

The supersoft fabric also comes in a spectrum of moody pastel tones (20 to be exact), making them more versatile than you might think. Plus, the stone wash ensures that they get even softer over time. We're tempted to buy a set in lilac, mauve, and orchid for an ombré effect that works especially well with gray earthenware.

Tell us, which color would you be tempted to bring home?

Ring in Spring With a Colorful Breakfast Setting

The easiest way to celebrate seasonal shifts in your home is by switching out smaller decorative accessories.

The easiest way to celebrate seasonal shifts in your home is by switching out smaller decorative accessories. I'm already fantasizing about setting the perfect Spring table, and for me that means a modern but colorful spread in a sunny breakfast nook.

Instead of the traditional flowers in a vase centerpiece, I like the idea of creating a more sculptural version that becomes the focus of the table. I love the idea of taking a terrarium vase and filling it with shallow water, pale yellow freesia, and green succulents for a fresh take on Spring posies. Make your own or save yourself the time by snagging this Zen World arrangement ($150, top, left).

Known for having exquisitely designed wares for foodies and hostesses alike, Alessi's new 1-cup size Moka Alessi Espresso Coffee Maker ($40, top, center) is just as handy as it is adorable. Breakfast for two becomes even more fun with a pair of these mini espresso makers sitting on the table.

These Arzberg Tric Egg Cups ($20 for two, bottom, left) also double as napkin rings! There's nothing better than tabletop items that can serve double duty, especially when they have sleek, powder blue silhouettes.

Click on the items above to shop directly to create your own Spring breakfast setting!

Hand-Printed Linens For Your Kitchen and Dining Room From Etsy

Poppytalk recently shared a tutorial on hand-printing your own fabric. And while I'm filing this away on my to-do (someday) list, the truth is I simply don't have the time to tackle another DIY project. But I still adore dressing my kitchen and dining table with unique linens. Luckily, Etsy has plenty of pretty hand-printed designs in the form of tea towels, tablecloths, napkins, and more to satisfy that desire. Take a look at some of the gorgeous finds that will have your friends inquiring on just where you found that fantastic tea towel or apron.

Nice and New: Simrin Fall Table Linens

I'm not the type of person who redecorates with the seasons; I have a hard enough time just finishing decorating each room in my home to begin with.
by

I'm not the type of person who redecorates with the seasons; I have a hard enough time just finishing decorating each room in my home to begin with. But I do love to introduce seasonal tabletop décor. That said, I love color too much to go all browns and grays when Fall comes around.My latest obsession is Simrin's new Fall table linens! The Verdant Placemats ($22), available in navy, brown, or gray, have a broad-scale, modern, William Morris-inspired botanical pattern with a dark base and enough pops of color to keep it light. The Fan Placemats ($22), available in gray, mauve, or turquoise, have a graphic, monochrome, Art Deco-style pattern. Both can be interchanged with the new Optic Napkins ($18), Geo Napkins ($22), or Herringbone Napkins ($22), and the mix of patterns and colors will surely create an engaging table setting. What do you think?

Do You Use Doilies?

Hello doily! Pretty and protective doilies are making a comeback with designers, but the dutiful days of the doily have passed. There was a time when disposable paper mats lined every platter and tray, while their cloth counterparts topped nearly each piece of furniture — now they're a quick way to add vintage flair to your décor. Grannies everywhere are still rocking the crocheted discs, but many folks find the napkins to be too old-fashioned for their modern pads. Do you ever use doilies?
