Well, today is my birthday (we won’t say how many years). My family and I are planning a very low-key evening, with plans to celebrate “in style” later when we can all find a date to get together. So just for fun, I am envisioning this gorgeous table scape and these glamorous flutes of champagne as the perfect setting for my party until we get a chance to really celebrate.
These amazing photos are from a gorgeous tabletop decor story Eddie Ross, former Martha Stewart Editor and Bravo’s Top Design Finalist, did with House Beautiful in 2004. Fascinating how timeless the setting and color palette are, don’t you think?
I can just imagine myself opening all these pretty little blue boxes to find special treats inside just for me on my big day! Eddie actually did send me a little birthday treat this week in the way of adding my blog to his impressive blog roll. So thanks Eddie and Cheers to you for sending all those fabulous new readers my way!!
And if you are a reader of my blog but somehow don’t know about the fabulous Eddie Ross, then you must hurry over to his site to see this gorgeous tabletop story and many more similar and equally gorgeous creations that Eddie has dreamed up. And be sure to take a moment to vote for Eddie in the Bloomingdale’s Big Window Challenge over on Apartment Therapy and also send a text vote for Eddie’s window design by texting 1 to 89800 today and tomorrow.
Thanks to Eddie and each and every one of you for making my birthday and every other day of the year so special!! xoxoxoxo
