A Bold Dash of Florals

It's no secret we grandmillennials have awoken to a newfound love and appreciation for pretty as well as bold floral fabrics. Chintz is back, and we can't get enough! For a grandmillennial Christmas table start with a colorful chintz tablecloth and don't neglect to arrange a decadent bouquet of flowers for your centerpiece.

This chintz tablecloth was custom made using a vintage Waverly print called "Park Lane."

A Smidgen of Whimsy

Playful details will make guests smile and bring delightful conversations to bear like peppermint sticks in the epergne and swan salts at each place setting.

      Thanks so much Kimberly! I love the chintz too! I know it is Waverly, but the pattern name had been cut from the selvedge, so thank you so much for letting me know! Merry & Happy!

I bet you've got something to say! Comment below!
