Fourth of July Table

Though normally I'd go nautical for this most festive occasion, this Ralph Lauren red paisley called for something a little more feminine.

With a basic setting of white plates (I'll admit it - IKEA), mum-printed Crate & Barrel salad plates and cheapy wine glasses that won't break your heart or bank account if they get broken, this table provides a casual and fun setting for your favorite friends.

Don't ask me about the blue and white hydrangeas that were going to complete the look. I don't want to talk about it.
