If you’ve been reading this blog for longer than 5 minutes, then you know this place setting is likely to never happen around my house. As much as I can appreciate a calm and serene vibe, I’m just too drawn to color to ever stick with an all-white palette.
Tablescape inspiration can come from virtually anywhere…and this time, I found mine from Crystal Light Liquid!
We are serious Crystal Light drinkers around here…in fact, we probably mix a new pitcher every other day. (So basically my colon is red dye #7.) The problem is, we each have our own favorite flavor, and no two are the same. The dilemma is now solved, since Crystal Light Liquid allows us to mix our own individual glass or bottle.
I took inspiration from my favorite flavor, Strawberry Lemonade, and created a happy table of red, pink and yellow.
I added Crystal Light Liquid to a glass of Fresca, with a squeeze of fresh lemon, for the perfect Summertime drink. Doesn’t this say, ‘afternoon by the pool’ to you?! Don’t mind if I do!
The kids each mixed their favorite flavors, then we made custom popsicles!
I’d do just about anything to see these faces!
While I can appreciate a clean, all-white place setting,
We much prefer the jazzed up version!

I love your vibe! The mix of colors and patterns is so fun! And this post makes me thirsty…I never would've thought of mixing the flavoring with a carbonated beverage. Yummy!
Love the colorful place setting you put together! My outfits are usually inspired by what I'm seeing on Pinterest. 🙂
I find my inspiration on blogs & pinterest.
I like to look at pics of houses/rooms I can't afford then scale them back (or DIY) and make them mine 🙂
I don't really find inspiration anywhere… at least not that I'm aware of. Maybe I should? It would probably make my outfits a lot more interesting.
Oh, by the way, your photos in this post are fantastic! Especially that one with the flowers, Crystal Light, and cut up lemons. I just stared at it for a full minute. The colors are so vibrant. Hey, maybe I'll take inspiration from your blog from now on. 🙂
Whatever random things I have on hand!
Okay..so add vodka to your drink….and you've got my Summer Drink! The one that I drink at the ranch allllllllll the time. I also like to add a little fresh lemon or lime. You're welcome.
p.s. Your pics today are BEAUTIFUL!
I tend to do my tables along with whatever season or holiday it is. And I usually repeat table settings! LOL
I just bought my first Crystal Light water enhancer this week. I am trying to give up soda, so this is helping me get through the work day.
Oh I'm with you, sister, the whole "white out" setting just doesn't ring my bell like all the bold COLOR! Blogs are definitely one of my maj forms of tablescape inspiration, but dang it if all those fun Crystal Light colors aren't just begging to be copied! (c; And I seriously want to steal that fabric from your table covering, it's all kinds of yummy (c:
I never would have thought to mix Crystal Light water enhancer with Fresca. That sounds yummy!
I love color… bright, bold color. Your blog is always an inspiration for that. Love the table setting.
While I love white dishes for their versatility, I am not a fan of an all white table. I tend to pull my inspiration from the seasons, the flowers and produce that are in season.
Recently purchased the crystal light liquid and love it.!!! Trying to give up soda. Love your table setting!
Gorgeous!!!
Definitely from fabrics and wall paper and work and most recently from the fishies I saw in the Great Barrier Reef.
The seasons! Each one has its unique colors and by bringing them indoors it allows me to embrace the current season before it flitters away!! Helps me 'be in the now"…which I tend to need help with!
I get color inspiration from pretty magazine layouts and scrap booking paper
I find inspiration from all kings of magazines, and my moods 🙂

My inspiration comes from the seasons and colors outside in nature!
Your very own blog is a fantastic source of color inspiration, actually!
I love bright colors too! Most of my crazy colorful outfit or home decor choices are inspired by pinterest images 🙂
I love the guts that you have! I live through your pictures with all of your fun colors and bold statements. I could never paint my dining room the way you did (I couldn't pull it off), but I LOVE it in your home. I love loud colors and fun patterns, but I'm never as successful as you are mixing many of them together!
I am an avid magazine "freak" and thats where I get alot of inspiration along with blogs and Pinterest!!
Generally fabric – although I did once do a nursery for a friend based on the children's clothing section at Target!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I love to get table inspiration from flowers–either from the cut blooms at the grocery store or potted plants at my favorite nursery.
Crystal Light, my favorite summer time drink! I draw a lot of inspiration from the ocean. The different shades of blue and green are endless!
Believe it or not but I find inspiration from clothing stores window dressings…they always put fabby colors together and it inspires me in my art and my decor!

Also, I was really sad to not find the strawberry lemonade at my grocery store in time for my camping trip this weekend!
I love your table setting! I get inspiration from blogs, or from the fresh flowers that are growing in my yard at the time. Or even from Target! 🙂

Love the color combos. My inspiration comes from blogs & magazines.
Almost all of my inspiration for all I do to decorate my home or body comes from nature in one way or another. I wear all earth tones, my jewelry is all made of real stone or glass, and my house is painted in mostly shades of green and purple.

I am a thrift store junky and can find anything

We are so very close to moving into a new house – it hasn't gone smoothly or quickly, so I've been trying to stay positive by planning the decor for each room in the home by scouring online ideas
Pinterest for sure, I could spend hours and hours on there.
