Please join our hostess, Susan, over at Between Naps on the Porch for more awesome tablescapes!
Welcome to tropical paradise!!! Today I'm doing a tablescape over at my friend Marlene's house. She has this beautiful mural painted on her dining room wall. 
Her table is always set up with the hurricanes with sand, candles and shells and the grass as the centerpiece. Today, we added the bamboo table runner (which is 3 placemats from the dollar section of Target). 
The placemats and napkins are a home goods find. They are so calm. The dishes are from JCPenny. Really inexpensive. I bought them online, and they are so pretty. The blue starfish is from Advantage Bridal. I got six for about $19.00
We added some glittered up seashells and starfish and some blue votives.
Marlene got these cute starfish glasses from Home Goods. They match perfectly!
I found two sets of napkins: Shells and Sanddollars. I was hoping for starfish, but no luck.
We set this table up in about 10 minutes. It was so easy. Everything just fell into place.
Here is another look at those cute starfish glasses. As you can see, she also found a pitcher. So cute for by the pool or patio! I don't know if I'll get any more tablescapes done for the rest of this month. The wedding is only 3 weeks away and I have a lot to do.

Love the beach theme and every little detail on your tablescape...Christine
Hey Janie, Love the beach theme, especially the shell napkins, sea grass centerpiece, and blue handblown glass pitcher and glasses. Nice change of scenery too. Cyn
Since we live far from the ocean, beach is a word that's never said at Linderhof! But your table is pretty and I do love all the beachy aspects of it.
Love it! The colors are wonderful and that beverage collection is wow!
I love your bamboo placemat runner!
I'm still looking for the right "water side" color scheme for me. Sometimes, I think I'm too patient. ;-)
Love the beach theme...and the mural! Happy Tablescape Thursday ~ Susan

Hi Janie! Thanks for stopping by! I love your tablescape....makes me want to go to the beach! Everything is just beautiful. The mural is great! I used to paint them! I enjoyed taking a look around your blog! Luanne
Now that is a Tablescape! Just gorgeous! :) Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. Have a blessed day! :) Melissa
Janie,
I don't know if you saw my link to the Tablescape Thursday on my new decorating blog in my right hand side bar at the top....just click on the photo and it will take you to a Cinco de Mayo tablescape and design blog. I haven't figured out how to link different blogs to appropriate sites yet? If anyone could help me with this, it would be very much appreciated! Have a great day!
Makes me feel like I'm right in the tropics with the ocean just outside! The mural is phenomenal. The colors are so calming, just like the sea. The table all set up looks like you're ready for a gathering. What time should I arrive?

I love this tablescape. So beachy & fun. And I can't believe it came together so quickly. Thanks for visiting my tablescape & leaving me a comment. You gave me a great idea on printing out the photos so hubby & the boys will know how to set it all up for Mother's Day. Hope you have a happy Mother's Day & that the wedding goes off without a hitch in a few weeks.
Hi Janie...
Ooohhh...what a gorgeous table! I love it...all of it!!! Your friend Marlene has a beautiful home, I love that mural...it's gorgeous...and the perfect setting for your coastal tablescape!
My friend...I'm so glad to see these pretty shell dishes used in a tablescape...I just purchased the same set from Penneys! hehe!!! In fact, I'm waiting on table napkins that I ordered from online to get here so I can do a tablescape with them! They really are pretty, aren't they!!! I love the aqua starfish plates...so pretty!!! Oooh...and that pretty pitcher and matching glasses with the same colored starfish on them...it's all so coordinated and simply stunning!!! I love the idea of the rattan placemats for the table runner...great idea! Love the pretty vase of tall seagrass!!! You've really outdone yourself with this beautiful coastal tablescape!!! Thanks so much for sharing it with all of us!
Also, just want to say thank you for coming by to take a peek at my Mother's Day tablescape and for the sweet comment that you left!!!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
That color of blue just pops on that table. Very beautiful! Great idea to use the placemats for a runner, too.
Hi! and thanks for stopping by to visit me, and leaving such a sweet comment!
I LOVE the beachy tablescape! Makes me wanna get my toes in some sand! hehe!
I see by your blog heading that we live near each other. Besides loving the "beach" I love driving through the foothills to go to Nevada City for an afternoon of shopping too!!
Hope your day is like a day at the beach!!
Best wishes!

Love the beachy table scape. It is lovely. Feels like the beach is just a step away. Thank you for visiting my blog.
Janie, This is a STUNNING Beach scene! VERY WELL DONE! ;) Love the shade of Aqua in the beach scene! One can never go wrongs with sand and shells! ;) ~CC Catherine
How wonderful that your tablescape elements matched hers so well, and what fun to do a tablescape with a friend. It turned out beautifully. The acqua color is so soothing with the whites and sand colors. laurie
Just perfect! love all your beautiful colors and it really is so beachy and fun. Cindy
janie,
This is so cute, beachy & color coordinated! I love everything. I would love to do something like this up at the lake! :-)
I bought some sand at Target months ago to make a glass container with shells. I couldn't believe I was paying $$$ for sand and then couldn't believe my eyes when I read "Made in China" LOL!!!!!
Happy wedding planning!!
xoxo
