Happy New Year!
What a busy day! We got in last night from our trip, went to bed early so I woke up early... I had to de-stage a house this morning. I'm a home stager which means that I get houses ready to sell and when they sell (YAY) then I have to gather my things before they move. Took my daughter to the Plaza to do some after Christmas shopping, the gift cards were burning a hole in her pocket. Stopped by Trader Joe's to pick up a few things including flowers. Then home to do my tablescape. WHEW! I'm tired!
My table is all ready for our New Year's Dinner. I wanted to keep it semi casual so I used my Lenox Butler's pantry dishes and I decided on a Black and White theme. I had the Crackers left from Christmas because we weren't here to open them. It's a favorite tradition of my children. They wear the funny hats all night long and read the jokes inside. I had some old Pottery Barn Hotel napkins and I happened to have some iron on transfer paper. (really I did!) So, I transferred the numbers onto the napkins. I like the way they turned out. What do you think?
It's the countdown the Midnight! 10, 9, 8, 7,
I added Black Ribbon and a string of pearl ribbon around the napkins to "Fancy" them up a bit.
I found these placemats in my drawer in a package of Six that I had never opened. On a trip to China (my husband worked there for a few years) I had bought a set of placemats, napkins and chopsticks together. I stenciled the pattern on with the help of my lovely 15 year old daughter. I'm sure the shopping trip made her more of a willing participant.
I adore the way my Centerpiece came out! I had an old wine box from a trip to Napa, an estate sale Silver Champagne bucket, a few sparkly snow flakes from Nell Hills, and my Trader Joe's Daisy's.
And here's the Flip Side!
I used my World Market Cutlery and sprinkled some Bling around the table.
I printed Resolutions on cute paper that I had purchased at Michaels. I like this one...
Cute!
The Sideboard is all ready for extra Guests...
Now, here is a Resolution that all of us Mothers, Wives, Sisters etc can relate to...
Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope you have enjoyed my table.

ReplyDeleteAn absolutely perfect New Years table! I particularly like the resolution slips! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the resolutions and the numbers on the napkins! My daughter had the same burning hole in her pocket the day after Christmas. It's kind of a tradition I guess. I love silver for New Year's Eve. I miss Trader Joe's but I hear they're coming to Florida. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteYour talent and creativity are amazing!!! It is nice that you and your daughter can spend time together on this project. She can learn so much from you.
How do you dream up these beautiful tablescapes with just the things that you have around the house? I'd like to spend some time in your basement.
The resolutions are a great idea and apply to us all.
