Prissy Opulent Pink Tablescape a la Tracy Reese

Detroit native, Tracy Reese, moved to New York after a stay in Paris and is well know and respected in the fashion world today. Reese’s style of ultra-feminine pieces layered with intelligent nostalgia, charm and luxury is a distinctive look that the designer has since become known for. This is her design for DIFFA which is touring the country now as a fund raising project. I love the eclectic look she has created with this tablescape. The colors are so electric and hot, yet so opulent!

Wouldn't it be fun to twirl over to a friend's home for a girl's night out and find a fantasia like this waiting on you. It's so prissy and enchanting that anyone who sat down at this table would have to have fun, don't you think? I think I can see a screened porch being transformed now! Oh la la!

PS Today I spent the day creating a tablescape and dinner party for two dear friend's 30th Wedding Anniversary. It was bittersweet. He was sent home from MD Anderson with a brain tumor but was determined to celebrate this momentous occassion. There were smiles between tears and I wouldn't take anything for being a small part of a special time in their lives. We created the tablescape from their favorite things - his mother's silver and stemware, their wedding china. He's a musician and they love New Orleans so think guitars, guitar picks as table confetti, Mardi Gras beads and a Voodoo doll from the chandelier, tons of roses from the garden, and all kinds of finds including a wedding photograph. I'm hoping they will allow me to share it with you soon. It's an inspiring love story.
