Thanksgiving: How To Design Your Table

HOW TO DESIGN YOUR TABLE
BEST RECEPE FROM CHEF D. BOULUD
HAVE YOUR DINNER CATERED AS IF YOU HAD COOKED IT

Design it in 9 Easy Steps

STEP 1: PICK THE RIGHT BACKDROP

Yes, you guessed! The tablecloth is your biggest area on the table and it will set the color and the mood for the whole table. We love hand-block printed linens for their artisanal quality , patterns and colors.
We choose a soft aqua background that makes the autumns ochres and reds stand out.

STEP 2: LAYER, LAYER, LAYER

We love to layer with hand made textured woven colorful placemats

STEP 3: COOL IT DOWN WITH NEUTRAL PLATES

We like to balance the neutral colors of the plates with texture and shape

4: MIX UP THE PRINTS WITH YOUR NAPKINS

We love to plays with patterns on patterns. Napkins are the best way to do so. Choose a color that will enhance your tablecloth and color scheme

STEP 5: EMBELLISH WITH NAPKIN RINGS

We chose to complement the placemats by continuing to use natural fibers

STEP 6: ACCESSORIZE

We are in love with our best sellers raffia items, all hand-made in Italy.
They add warmth and refinement to any table. They are the epitome of understated chic.

STEP 7: ADD COLOR WITH GLASSES

How about red and amber to stay with the Autumn theme?

STEP 8: ADD YOUR SILVERWARE

We are hooked to Bamboo silverware for its versatility, color, and texture.

STEP 9: DECORATE

Use Flowers, fruits or vegetable in season and in the same colors of your tablescape. If you do not want to break the bank, just go outside and pick up some branches.
TIP: Morton Williams sells imitation of pumpkins, gourds and others that are very decorative
