Yesterday I gave you
six ideas for making some delicious breakfast or brunch dishes. Today I am
showing you a simple but lovely table setting that you can effortlessly create
to serve your delicious breakfast treats.
Not all tables have to be over-the-top fancy and loaded with eye candy. Those
tables are fun, don't get me wrong, but when I have the first meal of the day,
I like to enjoy it in peace and quiet, sipping espresso and nibbling a
croissant, while watching the birds at the feeder and listening to the rustle
of the morning paper behind which Mr. O-P is huddled and happily engrossed.
I chose a simple black and white color scheme with a shock or two of red, one
in the Sur La Table Italian ceramic napkin holder (the napkins belonged to my
mother), and the other in the Fiestaware pitcher full of white Alstromeria.
The white plates
were bought years ago for 50 cents apiece at Old Time Pottery. That was one of the best investments that I ever
made. The white cups and saucers are
from Amazon. The white bowls and
condiment set are from the Pottery Barn Great White Collection.
The whimsical plastic
flatware is from a picnic basket set that we got as a wedding gift (20 years
ago) from Crate & Barrel.
The little black polka
dotted under plate is from 222 Fifth and yet another great investment as I seriously
use these plates everywhere, here and here for example. No one
has an inkling that they are Christmas plates.
The glassware is my favorite La Rochere.
