Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Instead of wearing green today, how about setting a green table? I don’t know about you all, but the weather is finally starting to warm up here, and spring is in the air.

With spring comes the color green—many different shades of green. Whether it’s the green of new grass or the green of tulip stems, this color inspires me to add bright decor touches around my home. Why not consider unpacking your old china and glassware collections in various green tones?

You might not often consider mixing styles and patterns of glass, but when they have a common color, they can easily be combined. Set your table with a mix of styles, and see how they coordinate perfectly when all are in one family of colors.

Add pops of spring pinks and yellows by adding fresh-picked tulips from your garden. Offset all of the green with clear glass pieces as well. When you’re finished, you’ll have a setting that’s simply stunning.

How are you celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day? Or are you?
