white on white

I bought these white gerberas the other day from the supermarket and put them into my vintage bottles along veranda table to jazz it up a bit for some visitors who were coming.

I decided that a simple white tablescape was in order to compliment the simple white flowers.

The glass dishes were some that used to be my Mum's she gave them to me years ago when I first left home.

The dinner set is a white Lindau one and the cutlery is our wedding Rodd. 

The wine glasses were a wedding present also.

I love this white tablecloth, my SIL got it for a wedding present and I borrowed it a few times for special occasions and one day she just said to keep it because she would never use it- her table was the wrong shape, so I kept it and love it instead!

It gets lots of use and lots of Napisan to keep it white!

Iced water with mint fresh from the garden will be a refreshing drink, served in my Krosno 2.5L jug.

On the other end of the table are salt and pepper shakers, sauce jug with a sprig of mint.

Of course we are on the veranda again!

The reason why I always use my veranda, other than I love it, is that my dining room is rather dark and hard to photograph and my dining table is so huge that I don't often have enough special pieces to use on it, and I would also have to move the children who are busy working in there on their schoolwork (well hopefully!)- so the veranda is the perfect choice.

Did you notice my lovely Directors Chairs

I don't often take photos showing my veranda wall as we started sanding it in order to repaint  but that's as far as we got, I am not sure whether to repaint in the same colour or go grey.

What do you think?

 Here are some night time shots, isn't the black and white contrast stunning?
