This is another table setting that is both informal and elegant.
I am usually both (or I like to think so...).
I started by using some place mats that I made using dropcloth and the matching coaster that I also made (see here for diy coaster project).
I used my everyday plates, I have two complete sets in two different colors, so I layered it to give it a little dimension.

| (In case you wonder, I don't iron dropcloth...I like it this way) |
For the centerpiece I used things I already have.

In case you didn't notice...I like neutral and earthy colors...
Simple and elegant works for me.
Stay Frugal,
Daniela

I love it!! looks great!!! beautiful place mats!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Your placemats are wonderful! Love the idea of them matching your coasters too. Your table has a Pottery Barn vibe to it. The natural elements used in the center of the table are the perfect choice.
ReplyDeleteSimple and elegant! It is nice to have an adult setting while the kids have their stuff too.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking table- Love the placemats- xo Diana

Your tablescape looks great. I like the neutral colors and all the texture. Great job on those place mats and coasters.
ReplyDeleteDanniela! Bellissimo...Bello!! Whichever, your table is it.. I love the dropcloth placemats,. excellent job. I have to go find out what ink you used. The naturalness of the dishes is perfect with them. And i like your centerpieces too.. perfettamente! xo marlis
ReplyDeleteI was already a fan of your coasters so you probably already know, I love these placemats. What a great table. Warm and inviting.
ReplyDeleteJust love these Daniela!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great hostess gifts these would make!
Hugs,
Cute idea. How does the drop cloth hold up after putting them in the washing machine? I was thinking trying out a drop cloth table cloth but wasn't sure if the feel is completly different after it is washed.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done! I love the title of your blog. That is sooo true.

Love the simplicity and that you used what you already have. So often our cupboards are filled with these sorts of things and we really don't need to go out and buy anything.
ReplyDeleteI love these! Simple, classic, and very nicely crafted. You could market them on Etsy...:)
