Brunch Tablescape (Pottery Barn Mystery Box Challenge)

Recently I was given the very cool opportunity to participate in a friendly competition created by one of my favorite retailers, Pottery Barn.

The challenge was to design a tablescape for a party of four inspired by a “Mystery Box” of Pottery Barn products- um, yes! sign me up!  I was so anxious to see what we would receive and giddy when the packages arrived last month.

Talk about Christmas in July for this little kid . . .
and for Mama! Yeah, I get to keep the goods- and there’s a chance for you to win them all too! 🙂
I was also given $50 to shop for additional decor and/or food for the party. 
I bought a fun black and white polka dot fabric to create a tablecloth and my inspiration flowed from there.  I decided to use the black and white with pops of bright orange and pink, paired with my black and gold chevron plates and cups that I already owned. 
I’m excited to share the final result with you!

Here’s the roundup of how I used the Pottery Barn products in my Girlfriends Brunch Tablescape:

1. Great White 3-Tier Stand

2.  Claro Cake Stand

3.  Glass Display Pillar Hurricane Small & PB Votive Candle, Large (Set of 12)

4.  Glass Display Taper Cup Hurricane & PB Taper Candle, 12″ (Set of 2, White)

5.  Glass Display Votive Cup Hurricane & PB Pillar Candle, 3×6″ (Set of 2, White)

6.  Glass Punch Bowl

7.  Montana Small Bowl

8.  Great White Coupe Serve Bowls (Set of 3)

9.  Linen Hemstitch Dinner Napkin (Set of 6, White)

10.  Great White Dinner Plate (Set of 4)

Also participating in the Pottery Barn challenge are:

    I wanted to vote for you, but the link just took me to the PB facebook page? and then I clicked THEIR link and it just went back to their FB page again.

    Am I crazy or is PB having linkage issues??

    Looks great!

    Love the pink!! I always feel guilty incorporating any pink into my home, because I feel bad for my husband having to live with it! But this is just perfect for a ladies brunch!
