Luncheon Asian Style

 This week our lunch was a style of Contemporary Asian influence filled with bright bold colors.
On the sleek Carerra marble table was a birdcage candle holder as the focal. Sheryl had a drawing in which the candleholder was given away as a gift. Perfect gift for any place in your home.

 Here you will see a close up of the amazing table setting. She built layers of texture by using a lazer cut placemat for the china. She then added pop of color with the salad plates along with gifts wrapped in bright pinks, blues and greens. The ribbon on each gift by the plates were a tiny colorful chevon design, cute touch. Our delicious lunch consisted of a salad with a fusion of citrus and an asian base vinaigrette dressing. The water was tinged with a rosy color from sweet cherries, and the dessert was an elegant oversized strawberry dipped in chocolate. When selecting a lunch for a group it's always a good idea to make sure the flavors all work together, which is exactly what our hostess did so eloquently.

 Another view of the bright table.

 For added adornment our hostess added these oh so cute glass geisha girls with real orchids on the table, one for each guest. The take out containers were filled with fortune cookies.

 We also received a wrapped boxed of japanese candies with chop sticks.

 Our delicious dessert!

Sometimes when thinking about desserts, I think it's ok to keep it simple. All we really need is a taste of something sweet and we're good.                            

Our hostess had a sunny beautiful day to work with as well, for our project after lunch was to spray paint modern chairs. Our group is so creative and inspirational we are never at a loss of creativity for projects. 

Here is a picture of the chair that we are embellishing. They were primed and ready for each lovely to decorate. 

These were also the boxes that our little glass geisha girls came in. I will post later the chairs as the lovelies complete them in the weeks to come. A big thank you to Ms. Sheryl for a fantastic fun filled day, you are an amazing hostess. I thought of Audrey Hepburn after I wrote this. Heres to you and the rest of us Lovelies!

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

Here is our primed chair with out the legs. Wow it's like looking at a blank canvas.

Betsy added decals that can be found at your local craft store. Oh so clever and interchangeable.

Kimmie looking at her chair. Oh the decisions decisions.

 Just about done.

 Jenny's inspiration comes from Lanvin

 and Louboutin!

 I decided to do an underpainting of red and cover the front of the chair with sterling silver leafing. I am very happy with the result.
