My favorite part of entertaining is the decorative details that go into it. I love adding pieces that make it feel like me; it adds a personal touch to the party. Here’s all the info on the decor for the girls gameday brunch!
Let this photo be an example of creating a space you love with vintage and mixing in custom pieces. The only thing I can link for you are the lampshades! The orange chairs are vintage and I found them in the bright orange velvet. The footstool is vintage and I had it recovered. The tiger pillows are a current fabric but I had them custom made. You can get similar here. The pink bamboo bar is vintage Drexel. The lamps are vintage and I painted them blue and gold. The statues are vintage and I painted them turquoise. This is my favorite spray paint for such projects. The painting is by my dear friend Riki; you can commission her also!
The Color Scheme
If you didn’t know already, my favorite color combination is pink and orange. I wanted this party to be a reflection of my style and just fun. When I decided to host it in our cozy, colorful basement, I wanted to use even more pink and orange in the details.
Because these are my favorite colors, I have a lot of accessories (and clothes!) in this combo.
The Coffee Bar Accessories
To create a backdrop on the counter, I laid out Roseanne Beck paper placemats. It gave a nice pink to the all white surface! I used a Jayes Studio pink placemat as an area to corral all the coffee creamers and serve as a middle spot to pour the coffee.

The Buffet Accessories
I set up the buffet in crock pots to make it simple. This kept the food warm the entire party! I used a variety of m vintage plates but used adorable Hen House Linens cocktail napkins. They totally carried the pink and orange theme so well!
Sources from above: Ceraramic Tiger is vintage, found a similar one here // pink thumbprint plates // similar turquoise glass plates // gold flatware is vintage but I also have and love this set // pink cocktail napkins // orange cocktail napkins // basic crockpot // fancy crockpot // place card holders are these ornaments // spoon rests are saucers to the Fitz and Floyd mugs // glaze pourers are vintage and are an olive oil pourer and the creamer to a cream and sugar set // tablecloth is custom
This is the cocktail size of the Hen House Linen napkins. I particularly like this size for a casual brunch and I think I’ll use them again for coffee or desserts in the future!
