Behind Every Beautiful Table Is

…A Hot Mess You Didn’t See

You know those dreamy, envy-inducing table settings that make you want to host a dinner party for 12 even though you usually eat dinner in front of the TV? Yeah—those.

What you don’t see? The hurricane that hit just off-camera.

Welcome to shoot day at Everyday Normal, where the candles are straight, the napkins are crisp… and the rest of the house looks like a prop warehouse exploded.

Exhibit A:

📦 Boxes stacked like Tetris.

🥴 Cutlery and charger plates fighting for floor space.

🐾 A cat probably judging us from under a chair.

🧼 Fifty linen napkins begging to be steamed (again).

It’s a symphony of chaos, caffeine, and just one more angle, darling.

We chase the light. We fluff the cushions. We argue over the merits of peach vs. coral. And somewhere between dodging bubble wrap and balancing glassware on one leg, we manage to capture the kind of magic that makes your feed go ✨oooooh✨.

 

So next time you see one of our perfectly styled table shots, just know:

Behind that elegance is a couch full of chaos, a camera roll of cat photobombs, and a very sweaty human holding a leaf blower.

Perfection? It’s curated.

Reality? It’s wild.

And honestly—we wouldn’t have it any other way.
