Mixing Dish Patterns For Tablescape Thursday



For my last Fall tablescape before Thanksgiving, I wanted to try mixing the dish patterns from previous tablescapes. I pulled out the napkins, napkin rings and dishes I got from Pier 1 about a month ago. The dishes were on clearance. I wanted to see how my Country Living salad plates from Kmart would go with these.


I had picked up the runner at Home Goods and liked it because it didn't have a specific motif, but the colors work for Fall. I also used the glasses I got on clearance at Kohl's.

They have different flower patterns going on, but because the colors are the same, it worked for me.



Nice to know I can change things up just by mixing the plates around a bit!

  12. So pretty... when I was shopping for my fine china, the sales person told me to stick to a simple white set - and then add the coloured accent plates as time goes on. It was the best advice because I can add any colour for any event !!

    adore the mixed patterns Kathy

  20. Very pretty tablescape Kathy! Thanks for checking out my Christmas decorating...you asked about the ribbon...the polk a dot ribbon is tied on to the branches. the mesh ribbon is woven around the tree. She left the polk a dot ribbon on the tree from last year, it held up fine. I'm glad you like everything, if I could come help you I would!! I bet you do a great job yourself! Kristen
