Lay Your Table

Lay Your Table
It's not hard to pull together a beautiful table-scape without breaking the bank, or going overboard. Stick to a few simple ideas to make your table look inviting, without looking cluttered. Remember - you want to showcase the meal you've worked hard to make!
  • Fresh flowers add a hint of color to any room. Visit your local deli for a cheap but beautiful bouquet, and mix-and-match your favorite stems.
  • Try throwing a chic tablecloth over your well-used dinner table to change up the look of the entire room. We love the classic and crisp look of this Tovaglia Agugliata tablecloth from Anthropologie.
  • If you have an endless array of empty mason jars sitting around, turn them into centerpieces: nothing lights up a table like candles; fill a mason jar with water, drop in a tea-light, and you have a lovely arrangement.
