Welcome to my new blog! Let's set the table...
Most people think of setting the table as a chore given to children while the cook is finishing up the meal. But setting the table can be so much more than that! I adore turning a tabletop into a functional piece of art, themed by holidays, colors, or patterns, and combining things that no one else has ever put together before. Setting your table in a thoughtful, pre-planned way creates an opportunity to WOW your guests and inspire them while expressing your creativity.
The only problem with setting an exquisite table is the price...$$$$$$$$$$ Flip open your favorite design magazines, such as Southern Living or Martha Stewart Living (yes, those are my two favorites!) and check out the price of the products used to create their stunning table displays. Yup...you can tell they have an extraordinary budget behind that extraordinary table. So should you just ooo and aaah over those tables and just be content with your old, scratched and chipped dinnerware with crinkly, cheesy paper napkins on top of your plain tablecloth? I say NO!
So I created this blog to explore setting an extraordinary table on a tight budget. I am not afraid to shop at Walmart, I am not afraid to create something from scratch using materials from Michaels. Trust me...you can still create something fantastic without spending the big bucks. Now, let's go set the table! <3
