Well...I have a lot of white dishes and a few odds and ends in other colors...salad plates, etc.
So, what did I buy the other day? More white dishes...4 white square dinner plates, to be exact.
I combined the square plates with some other things I already had.
Bowls from a different set of white dishes, white monogrammed napkins, silver napkin rings and water hyacinth placemats.
Glass vase with sand, seashells and a candle...
...two seashells I spray painted with metallic silver paint.
(Silver salt and peppers are on my wish list.)
My old seashell planter is used as a "wine cooler"...
...coastal-look silver dish.
Silver julep cups, stainless flatware...and my favorite dollar store wine glasses.
Are you ready for a coastal supper? I actually have a real bottle of wine for the wine cooler...Barefoot Chardonnay. :)

Oh I love it. The square plates are so pretty and the planter used as a wine cooler is genius. How fun is this. Hugs, Marty
Love your table of white. Always a favorite of mine. Makes me want to go to the beach.
All it takes is the word "coastal" and I have to see what's going on LOL! It looks great! I have those same placemats but didn't know they were Water Hyacinth! ~AND~ I'll have a sip of the Barefoot Chardonnay in your fav dollar store glasses please! Judi
Very lovely and crisp coastal white Summer table! I love your square dishes and the sea stars around it. I love the planter as a wine cooler, it's perfect and so clever!
Big hugs,
FABBY
Ok, what time is dinner tonight? I'll be right over. Your table setting is so pretty. I love the mix of white dishes and seagrass and the silver. I never would've thought to spray paint seashells. What a great idea!
Very pretty. I love your square white plates..I just did a tablescape for Wednesday with square white plates. :-)
Love, Mona
The seashell planter is gorgeous! And I love your white plates with a seashell theme. They are perfect for any decorating! I don't have many dishes either...mostly white Corelle! heehee! Sweet hugs!
Barefoot chardonnay, what a cute name! Your white table makes me think of a beautiful white sand beach. It's absolutely lovely, Babs! Love finding square plates. They add great interest to a table.
I love all things coastal! Your table is beautiful!
Babs,
Those square white dinner plates are a nice addition to your collection, dear friend!!!
Adore the shell planter turned wine cooler!!! Very clever!
Love the Costal theme of this tablescape!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Fondly,
Pat
I love your clever idea of spray painting sea shells. Your white square plates look attractive on the round mats. Your tablescape has so much character.

I love this table Babs! The wine in the shell is so great, and I love the mats! Very successful with carefully chosen and unique pieces! Looks great!

You are so clever I thought those were silver salt and peppers! I love the monogram napkins -in the south we love anything monogrammed don't we!
Babs,
You couldn't have left those plates behind, they needed to go on a new adventure! Now they have a new home with lots of family. Love how you used the planter to hold the wine.

I really like your table! The colors are perfect and understated...very relaxing. I like all your extra pieces too, I need to spray paint several shells silver, yours look so neat!
(I think we "think" alike...I love anything "sea" related and those kitchen chairs? I have the same ones, except mine are stained oak! and my table this past week? yep, same colors!)
Thanks for sharing...again, I love your table!

Such a pretty tablescape! Love the large shell, you've shown that this piece can be very versatile!
Thanks so much for sharing at Amaze Me Monday...
Blessings,
Cindy
Just love this table, Babs!! I love the white and "sand" colors--so refreshing and peaceful. In case you need some support to help with your dish guilt :), I can see why you bought square dishes--they're lovely! I think I need some too! Your silver sea shells are a darling touch. ~Zuni
