Another Nontraditional Christmas Tablescape!

I love the traditional Christmas colors, but really prefer nontraditional much more.



Inspiration for this table came in the way of a piece of fabric I bought back in the summer. Black/pink/green/red. I ran with the green and pink!



The base of the setting is a black woven charger to which I have added Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage leaf plates in green and pink.



The sterling flatware is Oneida Afterglow, circa 1956.



The stemware is a pink water/tea glass and a green etched wine glass. 


The centerpiece is just a small tree in a black garden urn.






Thanks for taking the time to visit today...do come back the next time.

What Is Red, White And Black?



Inspiration for this table began in the summer when I found these beautiful linens at Savers. I am smitten with them! The bright red napkin rings were also found at Savers.





I have used, for the stack, a red Waechtersbach dinner plate, white Wedgwood salad plate and a red/black/white tartan dessert plate, all sitting upon a black woven charger.

The flatware is Oneida Louisiana.

The glassware is a black water stem and a Arcoroc black stemmed wine glass.


The centerpiece is a tiny Christmas tree. It never photos well...it must have something to do with the material the orbs are made of. I think some of them may be some type of plastic. The topper and birds are glass.

Christmas Table #1


My simple Christmas table is black, white and red. The inspiration was the new dishes I found at HomeGoods about a month ago.  


I started with a round, black placemat, then a Gibson Regalia dinner plate and lastly the 222 Fifth Joyful salad plate.



The napkin is a simple white cotton with a cutout corner. The flatware is Oneida Louisiana.



I used a simple black wine stem. 


The centerpiece is a (fish) bowl filled with red Christmas orbs and candy canes flanked by black wood candlesticks/off white candles. 






A little candlelight, maybe?



Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to visit, it is greatly appreciated.
