Dinner For Four: Fabulous Tableware! Part 1


I love to set a nice table when I have people over for dinner. Sometimes with just a few additional tableware pieces, like these stylish (above) NYC PATCH ceramic serveware pieces, you can really jazz up your get-together. And you don't have to break the bank.


Now that the weather is getting warm, er... hot even, with recent 90 degree temperatures in the NYC Metropolitan area, my thoughts are turning to entertaining.


A relaxed, and fun dinner for four perhaps?


The Dinner Menu:
Couscous
Salad
White Wine


First we'll set the table... then in the next 2 posts I'll feature Cocktail Hour and Dessert and Coffee Time!


Let's go shopping.


We'll start at CB2, the sister store of Crate and Barrel, with its emphasis on affordable modern design. Then we'll check in at West Elm, a store focusing on contemporary home decor. We can mix and match pieces from both shops. With little effort you can really showcase your food. You'll make your guests feel extra special.


THE DINNER TABLE

Love these natural bamboo mats!

Tiki Placemats: $3.95 each


I fell for this tableware with its organic look

Petal Green Dinnerware: $2.95-$5.95


These napkins will look fabulous with the green dinnerware!

Rustle Napkin: $3.95 each


Stemless wine and water glasses are so unique...

Stemless Glasses: $1.95-$2.50


And in the center of the table, don't forget flowers. I love a big round vase dripping with tulips...



 Put them right in here!

Bowl Vase: $14.95


  I buy a ton of tealight candles and put them everywhere! It looks so pretty!

Tealight Candles: 50 for $7.95


Remember to check back in for Cocktail Hour and Dessert!
