WHITE WITH A LITTLE COLOR

I made it! 
 I have been gone for awhile but could not let this Challenge go by.
At Cuisine Kathleen's
 Let Dish Wednesday her Challenge
 was a table using only white dishes and one other color as an accent.
 She knows how to CHALLENGE us.
 I seemed to always want to use a lot of  color on my tables so this was a BIG challenge for me.

The big decision was what accent color would I use
????????????
orange-red--aqua--yellow
Can you guess which one won?
Well aqua won out. A few months ago I found aqua napkins at HG (love that store)
So now do I have anything else, so the hunt was on.
I decided to shop the house.


Complete Setting(oops the decanter really is the right color I thought)

Table for Two

 Only new purchase beach chair

Had to light the candles

I hope I followed the rules that Kathleen set for us. I did have fun shopping the house and trying to only use White & Aqua. 

Where did it come from:
Charges: Pier 1
Plates: Oneida/Wicker--Goodwill
Fish Bowls: Hobby Lobby
Cake Stand, Clear centerpiece, Milk Glass glasses,Cup & saucer, flatware,--Thrifty Store finds (not all at one time)
Creamer & Sugar: Belong to my sweet MIL
Candle holders: Birthday gift from the daughter
Beach chair: Dollar General (on Monday)
Clear Crystal: Wedding 


So there you have it I only spent $3.50 and it think I did it.

Oh I have to add one more picture you find the change give me a 
YOU BE THE JUDGE!

  
Thanks for dropping by and Yes I will be

    This a most beautiful summer by the sea tablescape! I love those pretty aqua fish plates, along with the chargers, dinner plates and all your milk glass whites! Big hugs,

    Cathy, you are right - we were thinking, about the same colors! Your table is so cute. I like both variations and I love those fish plates!

    I like the white and the teal place mats. They are both very effective. Great job on the challenge. You rose to the occasion. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay

    I bought some aqua at the beginning of the summer, and I have only pulled them out one time to use. I need to remedy that. I love this table with the blue whimsy all over it. The fish plates are my favorite part, but that beach chair is a close second.

    You did a great job. You capture summer and the beach. I love your candle arrangement and I actually prefer with without the placemat. Thanks for your visit and kind comments. Dianne

    I think it is so funny that some think all white is hard. I always thought it would be the easiest challenge. Thank you for putting so much thought into it and joining in, you did a great job! White and aqua are so lovely together, a great duo!

    The white and aqua tablescape are wonderful colors for a beach theme. Your pretty centerpiece of candles and shells is so appropriate. That is a great way to celebrate summer and enjoy the beach at home! Have a great week1

    Hi, Cathy. Thanks for your sweet comments about my white baptism table! I agree with you--if you've got the good stuff, USE IT!! And use what you have you did on this post. It's a lovely table. I've always loved teal, so this table is right up my alley. And that little beach chair is too, too cute! I may need to go find one! ~Zuni

    I am so jealous of your chargers. They are the prettiest I have seen out there.I didn't get to meet the challenge, too much going on around here. I think you met that challenge and then some. Great table and the little fish bowls are adorable and you have a great milk glass collection.
    Hugs, Ginger

    I could have sworn I commented on this lovely table last week, Cathy but I don't see my post. ???
    Anyway, I loved seeing how you used your pretty milkglass with that GORGEOUS aqua color...one of my favorites. Beautifully done!
