As I mentioned a number of months ago, I have challenged myself
to take one (or more) items from one week’s tablescape to include in my next
tablescape. Because the
last one differed greatly in both color and
style, the only thing that I was able to bring forward was the Mikasa
hammered “Opulent” flatware. This table is one of my favorites of all I’ve
created this year. In my attempt at organizing, I ran across this beautiful
fabric that I bought more than a decade ago (for what purpose I have no idea),
and it was my inspiration. I turned it into a table topper, and went from
there.
I did not use any placemats because I wanted as much of the tablecloth to show
through as possible. In keeping with the Italian theme table covering, the
charger plates are ceramic imports from Italy. They are topped with square
black dinner plates on which I have placed square plates in a grape pattern
from Tabletops Unlimited (their “Cabernet” pattern).
I picked up the color of the grapes in the glassware; the water glasses in a
beautiful shade of green are by Villeroy & Boch, the purple goblets I found here.I chose green
napkins from Urban Villa, and really liked the
look. The cups
and saucers, in mint green, are some of my
favorites. I enjoy my morning cappuccino in one every day.
The three-tiered tray in the center of the table was purchased years ago from a
local furniture store that, sadly, went out of business about 15 years
ago. It was called Oak Tree Furniture, and I still miss it.
Faux
grapes and greenery fill all three sections of
the tray, as well as the deep
purple votives that I also have at each place
setting.Some bottles of wine from a local Vintner will be enjoyed during the meal, as
well light from the flickering candle in the Chianti bottle.
Italian food will be served at this table, more than likely Steak Modiga*, a
personal favorite.
*Recipe coming soon!

Such eye candy! That 3-tiered tray is wonderful. Love the colors, and that last photo belongs in a magazine.
A meal with you is an event! Beautiful as usual!
What a lovely table you've set! Anything Italy, speaks color. I'm 1/8th Italian (so says the DNA test I took...a tiny amount). I'm loving all the color...

Beautiful blog
Stunning ! Who wouldn't enjoy an Italian meal at your beautiful table. I love the mint green cup and saucer and the flatware. I'm in the market for new flatware and that hammered look is what I have in mind.
