Table linens for Holiday Dinner
Comments (15)I don't have china, but do have colbalt blue glassware. I use white damask when doing a more formal table, but have bright yellow that I use for more casual settings. For Christmas, I use earthenware dishes, with snowmen or snowflakes on them (mostly shades of blue and white). Just this year I found a cloth that has silver snowflakes embroidered on a white background. I found glass snowflake ornaments that I will personalize for placesettings and will most likely use dark blue cloth napkins. Glasses will be clear, plain stemmed, but I am considering making some wire stem charms to personalize them. (It depends on my MIL -- if she comes we will be "dry". If she does not come, dinner will last much longer and and the wine will flow!). I found a paper mache snowman (a bit more off white than I really wanted, with blue and gold accents), about 25 inches tall holding a bowl on his head. He is sitting in the middle of my table right now with some bright red apples and a few (they were tasty) dark red grapes drapping out of the bowl. I also have snowmen egg cups, but instead of eggs they are holding round candles (like little snowballs) in the cups. Susan...See Moretablecloth with topper
Comments (2)Are you plannning on buying, making, or having it custom made? If you are buying one already made, your size options will definitely be more limited. I don't think there are hard and fast rules about how big the topper must be. Look at the link below(Ballards). If you scroll down to the bottom of that page you will see another topper that is longer. Take a flat sheet and fold/pin it to see what size is visible pleasing to you. If it were me, for a 42" table, I think a 60" square might work nicely. Come back and share your results!

Comments (9)I have about that size dining room with walkways on all sides. In my previous house, I had a 48" square dining table that I used when we moved in. I bought a 48" round table, it was amazing the difference it made. There are only 3 of us so I just keep 3 chairs around the table on a daily basis. You could do a drop leaf. I am not sure it you could find one in a style that would go with your house. I have 2 drop leafs that I use around the house and bring out when I need more tables for company but they are both Duncan Phyfe antiques. Another option would be a round with a leaf or two that expands for family. You'll be amazed how a round fits the space better. Something about cutting off those sharp corners make it easier to maneuver through the rooms....See MoreLighting a dinner table that goes both ways
Comments (5)No pot lights. Just put the chandelier where it will go 90% of the time. No one expects design perfection for the two times a year you put the extensions in. But for all the rest of the time, very good to have the right chandelier, hung at the right height and location over the 90% table location. If you select a chandelier on a chain, you can get "S" hooks that would allow you to temporarily raise the chandelier if that is a issue. Questions, How long is the table when at 90% state? Can you do a quick sketch of your room please. Include the kitchen island placement. How high are your ceilings in the dining area. Is there a window? How wide is your table? These are all variables that need to be considered....See MoreRelated Professionals
