I love a good tablescape! (is this a word?)
I so wish I could have my table set at all times, but that just isn't practical for my family seeing as how my dining table is also used for an art desk, a puzzle table, a homework station and to occasionally eat from! In an ideal world, it would always look perfect and set and ready to sit and eat at!
I think that is why I am so in love with Sunday dinners and special occasions. Because I actually set the table and make an effort to make it a gathering to celebrate. Setting the table doesn't have to be expensive or stressful. For these four ideas, I just went through my craft stash and found things that I loved.
For the first one I used ribbon from the Dollar Tree, and a pine cone from my back yard. Super easy, but it fancies up the table a bit, and announces that its a special dinner.
This second one is so farm chic! I used gold Washi Tape from my stash and attached notebook paper to the plate with "I'm grateful for....." for your guests to ponder while waiting for dinner. I tied a napkin with ribbon and florals from my craft stash. You could use any floral stem here.
This third one is again, ribbon and a min frame from the Dollar Spot. I had this hounds tooth fabric and the burlap in my craft stash. Then I just decorated with white pumpkins I bought at Target.
For this last one, I just used different plates that I have, showing that you can mix and match any dishware that you may have. It doesn't have to all match, or be fancy. I painted a pumpkin from the Dollar Tree gold, and then used fabric from my fabric stash.
I hope these ideas gave you some inspiration to look through your stuff, make a trip to the Dollar Tree and make your family dinners something to celebrate!
