Eat, Drink and Be Merry!

This weekend I am planning on eating, drinking and being merry in celebration of getting my blog

back in action.  Wondering where I have been, a domain name nightmare.  My domain name

The Bene Blog expired, by the time I renewed it was how you say GONE.  No matter what

I did I could not gain access to renewing.  So I moved it over to DonnaBenedettoDesigns.blogspot.com.

So this is where you will find me from now on out!

I love entertaining at home!  I like it most when I have time to go over the top.  Nothing peaks my

interest then arriving at a friends house and seeing a tabletop that is totally over the top.

Here are 6 that peaked my interest for this summers inspiration!  Also I'd like to recommend that we should

take it outside this summer and enjoy the gorgeous weather.  I love dragging all of my gorgeous things outside, nothing is more fabulous then having all of my silver and crystal out in the garden!

So this weekend I hope you all Eat, Drink and be Merry with friends and family!

How gorgeous is this color combination!  Love all of the nautical inspired things 

mixed with geometric place mats and sea urchins!

Serene and Sophisticated!  

The Combination of Jewel tones here is pure perfection!

The color combination is so eye catching.  I love the idea of mixing in the

antique brass candlesticks and the vintage blue Opaline goblets.

Mixing antique with new is the best way to create a fabulous one of a kind table!

I truly believe in investing in gorgeous antique dinnerware.  You can find pieces

anywhere!

This table runner sets the tone.  Great idea to have a few table runners on hand.

Lay a white tablecloth and then a runner and you change it up every time!

I am so in love with this tabletop.  The shape of the place mats give it

a Chinoiserie feel.  I love the Mottahedah plates, and the flowers 

are perfect!
