perch. summer table

Doing a tablescape for a store display is different than doing one at home. You only have things that are inventory in stock that are being sold to work with, rather than a collection of china, silverware, glassware, and linens everyone puts together for their home entertaining.


So here at perch, we are inspired by what we have. We had a custom tablecloth made using a pale green burlap with a wide vintage trim for the bottom border. A separate flannel underskirt the same size as the tablecloth, gives it a nice hand.

We pulled every white item we have into the tablescape: white pottery Fortunata plates; white ceramic sea shells; white fleur di lis cups to use as votive candle holders; white flower tube vases that look like sea creatures. We added accents of silver using fleur di lis flatware, and metal silver eggs.

A set of six vintage cane back Louis style chairs with burlap seats play off the texture of the tablecloth.
