The pink and green colour mix is nothing new and a much loved combination among product, graphic, fashion and interior designers. We have been using these two colours together since we started working with design. The ARNE & CARLOS labels for our line when we worked in the fashion industry were pink satin with green embroidered letters from 2004-2008. We have always loved these colours, and so do many other people. 😊
Yes, I love those two colours together. I decorated my bedroom with these colours, even the chandelier has green leaves and pink roses with crystals 😊.
❤ Any meal cooked with love deserves a beautiful table setting. No “special occasion” needed. The table looks inviting for an evening outdoors. Freja is a great helper!❤
I grew up in a very humble home so I knew nothing of table settings. When I was a young woman, I used to get terribly anxious that I would be “found out!” Now I love to fuss for family and friends. It’s like setting the stage for making wonderful memories. Besos y Abrazos!
Wonderful presentation!!! You know what they say, “opposites attract”. My husband and I are the same. I want ALL the detail and he wants to “get to the point” 😂😂😂
green & pink that made me laugh , as i'm into green & pink too & i just realised how contagious the last homely house is! they are such gorgeous colours together. lovely table setting too
It's always worth the time to set a pretty table for any meal any time. I live alone and still think I'm special enough to have a beautiful table for all my meals. Thanks for sharing.
Arne, I don't know if this will help at all (or even if you were just joking around about where the fork goes), but in the US children are taught to remember that the fork goes on the left side because both fork and left have the same number of letters, so they match. One summer during college I worked in a restaurant where they were very particular about the place settings. I was watching you and remembering all the rules--silverware must be placed the distance of your thumb from the edge of the table, knife blade facing towards the plate, soup spoon one finger's width from the knife, dessert spoon at the top of the plate with the bowl facing left and thumb length away from the plate, and many more I've probably forgotten! I hope you had a wonderful meal with your guests!
I can be there for dinner in one hour 😂 sounds wonderful. Please videotape some of your dinner. Also, please videotape a Beetle car ride. Would love to see more of your area. Thanks❤
Beautiful and thoughtful table setting. I love the plates. One suggestion-handle other people's glasses by the bottom and not the rim where the mouth touches. Great job. I hope you have a wonderful dinner.
that table looks so inviting and I'm sure the food will be too. What lovely tableware you have, everything seems to have a memory for you of holidays or family. When you were folding the napkins I was reminded of preparing for an outdoor event at work for about 100 people. Some colleagues and I were setting the tables. It wasn't a very formal event, just afternoon tea in the sun. The wind was blowing hard and messing everthing up. But the boss came round and insisted that all the corners of the napkins had to face the same way. It seemed so funny amid all the chaos of jars of flowers being blown over and tablecloths blown away.
You have some lovely table wear boys. We are going through major home renovations and have a busy house of teenage boys. I don’t really have the opportunity to entertain guests. Hopefully my time will come in the future.
You didn't get your ruler out to make sure the plates are one inch away from the edge of the table! I hear that is the way royalty rolls! 🤣😁😆 I am on my way, set one more place, please!!! Lovely, just oh so beautiful! You two always know how to make it awesome!
Love your table setting 🍽. Your dinnerware, glasses 🥂. Everything looks beautiful, oh and the food and gorgeous view! Fantástico 😊. Salud to you both 🥂🍾, and your guests!
You two are delightful. Kate at the Last Homely House has just used your chocolate biscuits on the top of her son's birthday cake. They looked lovely. ❤👍from Somerset, UK
Setting a beautiful table is something I enjoy doing too, and it makes such a nice welcome for your guests. I love pink and green, as well. I inherited a full set of Franciscan Wear in the Desert Rose pattern (cream, pink, green) from my mom. It was very popular in the 40’s & 50’s in the US and particularly in California where it was produced.
My mother had the Franciscan Apple dishes which she loved using for special meals! Now my sister has them and she fusses over a beautiful table when I visit. So fun.
Sweet Freya! It's a good thing we can't teleport or I'd be tempted to gate-crash! Beautiful setting for a wonderful meal. I think Carlos could have been a terrific butler back in the day. I could see him with a ruler to precisely place every item on the table. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my! My mother was a virgo. But I have been thinking she wasn't picky like Carlos. Today table setting showed my how wrong I was. Carlos, she was even more picky about table setting than you are. She required the table set as if the queen of England were coming to dinner. Which would never happen in America. But we must be ready in her eyes. What was really scary about that was that my mother looked just like Queen Elizabeth. Now I realize she truly was a virgo. Just never did the crafts you and Arne do. But she was very perfectionist. Your table is lovely.
My parents had some knifes and forks in a caddy like that when I was small. They wouldn’t be the same make of course, well I doubt it, but they were lovely. Like your plates etc. all looks lovely. And well thought out. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely table! Wish I were joining you. Green and pink is my favorite-I have a vintage set of Steubenville Horizon Pink Roses that mixes and matches beautifully, and can be dressed “up” or “down” very easily. And all kinds of napkin rings for quick and easy napkin decoration.
Everything looks great. Dinner sounds great especially the Tiramisu. 😋. I have had asparagus wrapped in bacon cooked on the grill. Enjoy your dinner. (Arne’s 60th celebration?)
Love this video. Your dishes and flatware are gorgeous. Also, coming from a fellow Virgo, this video is something that a lot of people should view on how to set a beautiful table properly.
14:48 This exercise in setting a wonderful, inviting takes me back 60 years to my junior high school. Home economics class where my group of 4 was graded for how we prepared the breakfast table. I have carried those standards ever since and like you, Arne&Carlos, know how much a beautiful table adds to the meal. It’s not an accident. Thankfully others appreciate it.
The table setting looks great to me. I wish I could join you both for a meal. You make excellent company. I hope we see more about the meal and get to see it.❤
Pretty cabbage and radicchio plates and the melon plate and bowl are fun as well. Gorgeous glasses from your family Carlos. Freya has good shade under there :)
OMG - this is so fun! I love a beautiful table setting! This brings back such memories! In the 70s I worked a summer for Fru Aga Blokhus at the Utne Hotel in Hardanger! She made sure we set the table properly including folded linen napkins. I love to fuss on special occasions.
hi guys your table looks great it will be nice to sit and eat in front of the lake i am getting a roof on over my deck this week so i can hardly wait to eat outside it gives me so much more space well i will catch you wed take care
A very pretty table set for a meal. I love the pink and green as well. The tablecloth is really pretty. I have to admit I don't take the time to make a pretty table setting but maybe you have inspired me to do it now when I have time. The dishes are very nice as well.
I fell in love with all things Norwegian back in 1981, Ffiggio, Bekkeblom china in particular. I ended up buying a whole dinner and tea set. I still have bits and pieces left.
I hear Carlos say “Virgo” to explain certain things, but he couldn’t be more different than my Virgo mother, who is definitely NOT a lining-up-kind-of-person. She is all messy, broad strokes! It’s a beautiful table for an outdoor spring party
I absolutely love the way you two interact, always with loving concern behind the comments. There is never any doubt about your liking for one another. It simply makes me happy to watch and listen. I wonder if Kate had anything to do with your affection for green and pink. Green has always been my favorite color and in the past four years, I find myself adding pink. That's about the time Kate came into my life. The table looks beautiful. I know your guests will enjoy all your preparations. Did you get rained on or did it stay dry?
Bergen, Fjaerland, now in Balestrand. Tomorrow we go to Flam, then to Oslo, by train to Trondheim and Bodo, then to Lofoten islands and home to England in about two weeks. You should be very proud of your country. It is so beautiful, very clean and everyone is so friendly.
Thats a big thumbs up from me. Your tablescape is gorgeous; you have so much patience with each other..if I was doing that with my hubby (which wouldn't happen lol!) we would be screeching at each other 😂 Freya at the ready for the scraps bless her!
I love eating outdoors and you have such a beautiful natural setting for it. Your table looks fabulous and I am sure the dinner was also. We would love to know what you barbecued! Im thinking fish and chicken?

She sure is and thank you for those kind words Cristina
I loved seeing Freja walking around in the background and then getting under the table when it was all set, ready to ask for leftovers!
Always
New Tee shirt Arne!......"I KNOW STUFF!!"....love it!. Beautiful table setting in the beautiful outdoors.
Thank you!
I grew up in a very humble home so I knew nothing of table settings. When I was a young woman, I used to get terribly anxious that I would be “found out!” Now I love to fuss for family and friends. It’s like setting the stage for making wonderful memories. Besos y Abrazos!
It gives each meal that something extra
Wonderful presentation!!! You know what they say, “opposites attract”. My husband and I are the same. I want ALL the detail and he wants to “get to the point” 😂😂😂
Beautiful table setting. I'm sure your friends will have a lovely evening!
green & pink that made me laugh , as i'm into green & pink too & i just realised how contagious the last homely house is! they are such gorgeous colours together. lovely table setting too
Ahhhhhh, the Norwegian version of Downton Abbey Table setting! Loved it, as always.
Thank you!
Arne & Carlos, your table setting is lovely & being outdoors with the beautiful view compliments everything!! Enjoy your dinner❤🌻
Thank you!
Love Arne’s shirt
It's always worth the time to set a pretty table for any meal any time. I live alone and still think I'm special enough to have a beautiful table for all my meals. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely setting. My favourite part of preparing for dinners, is the table setting. Hope your guests enjoyed.

Oh my Kate would love your green and pink tablesettings. I can’t wait till we see a video when she comes to visit you in Norway. ❤️
A beautiful setting for a meal with friends, both the table and the view
I can be there for dinner in one hour 😂 sounds wonderful. Please videotape some of your dinner. Also, please videotape a Beetle car ride. Would love to see more of your area. Thanks❤

What a lovely video ❤however dear Carlos, you have set the table complete wrong 😂but never mind any meal cooked with love is served correctly 🎉❤

Lovely! May you be spared rain.
I’m sure that the food was as good as the table looked. 😉♥️
What a lovely setting for a summer meal. Bon appetit!

Ahhh, I have those knives! My parents bought them in France as steak knives. The place settings are lovely and the plates are so pretty.
HI! Thanks for sharing about your meaningful table setting! So special using family heirlooms and special gifts! Have fun making new happy memories!
Thank you for watching Maureen!
Love your bickering…. So good natured !!!! 😊

That is such a pretty table in such a pretty garden. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful table setting, hope the dinner party was fabulous ❤

That would be something!
My feel good guys❤❤.
Enjoy!!
You do know lots of stuff Arne!
Thanks guys. Have a wonderful dinner.

A very romantic setting eating by the water - pinks and greens, always a favourite. Enjoy every moment.
We were given a set of knives from that company for our wedding. They are my favorite.
My parents had some knifes and forks in a caddy like that when I was small. They wouldn’t be the same make of course, well I doubt it, but they were lovely. Like your plates etc. all looks lovely. And well thought out. Thank you for sharing.
I really like the cabbage plates.
It looks amazing ! I love love love the tablecloth and napkins ! Buon Apetito

I really enjoy how you can do these things. Where I live a dust devil would have the table a mile away.
Love your choice of dishes! Looks like a successful dinner event in the making on a beautiful day! Enjoy😊
Pretty cabbage and radicchio plates and the melon plate and bowl are fun as well. Gorgeous glasses from your family Carlos. Freya has good shade under there :)

That is nice
My grandmother loved a beautiful welcoming table even for breakfast. Myhusband and I do the same for ourselves. Lovely!
It makes each meal special
The table setting is beautiful and the setting in the garden is gorgeous!!💜
Lovely setting and sounds like a delicious meal. Bon Appetit!!😍
So glad you put out the spoons because you won’t get one on the Trollfjord 😂😊
😂😂
How lovely - a beautiful spring day and table waiting for delicious food and friends. My kind of day!
I'm sure it was a great dinner...beautiful table!
I hear Carlos say “Virgo” to explain certain things, but he couldn’t be more different than my Virgo mother, who is definitely NOT a lining-up-kind-of-person. She is all messy, broad strokes!
It’s a beautiful table for an outdoor spring party
I would so love to have dinner with you guys. Besides the delicious food and the lovely setting, I would really enjoy the conversation!
That was awesome. ❤
Thank you for keeping us updated. Table looks great. I'm sure it was a very successful dinner with your friends!
I am crazy about your salt and pepper dishes. I love them. You make me want to be there.
Maybe one day!
I absolutely love the way you two interact, always with loving concern behind the comments. There is never any doubt about your liking for one another. It simply makes me happy to watch and listen.
I wonder if Kate had anything to do with your affection for green and pink. Green has always been my favorite color and in the past four years, I find myself adding pink. That's about the time Kate came into my life.

Did you get rained on or did it stay dry?
It did stay dry!
Enjoy
Many delightful table dressings to be found at. . . . *thrift shops!" I brought home egg cups from February cruise . . . Bodo, I think? 🐣
How beautiful and peaceful
Thank you Marianne
I like that the table cloth is not a bright color, reflecting the sunlight into the face of guests.
Very nice. As always attention to detail.
❤️🫶🏻
Love the pink and green. Very summery.
Thank you!
I am on holiday in Norway. What a lovely country. I envy you living there.
We hope you are enjoying it. Where in Norway have you been?
Bergen, Fjaerland, now in Balestrand. Tomorrow we go to Flam, then to Oslo, by train to Trondheim and Bodo, then to Lofoten islands and home to England in about two weeks. You should be very proud of your country. It is so beautiful, very clean and everyone is so friendly.
Beautiful table setting. Thank you.
Absolutely lovely!💗💐
Thats a big thumbs up from me. Your tablescape is gorgeous; you have so much patience with each other..if I was doing that with my hubby (which wouldn't happen lol!) we would be screeching at each other 😂 Freya at the ready for the scraps bless her!

I love eating outdoors and you have such a beautiful natural setting for it. Your table looks fabulous and I am sure the dinner was also. We would love to know what you barbecued! Im thinking fish and chicken?
Chicken
Hi guys. I have a tip to avoid having to clean silverware: put the piece (s) in a plastic bag with some chalk sticks and close the bag. It works.
