No-Fail Holiday Tabletops & Decor

How-to-Setting-the-Holiday-TableChristmas is just two weeks away…do you know how you’ll set your table this year? I never gave it much thought until recently, but I feel like my holiday tablescape has been on “repeat” mode year after year. If you’re like me, it’s time to tap into our creative energy to challenge conventional thinking! Here’s a tabletop scheme that will help you make the most of your time and money. It’s most lovely when set on a neutral background like a warm, rustic wooden table and you can tweak it by using what you have. So if you thought gold flatware was too ornate and fussy, you might be in for a surprise!
