I created this table setting with things I had laying around the house…It’s my idea of a perfect breakfast/brunch for two.

Many people own white dishes, and this table setting makes a case for them. Why? You can combine them with other sets, bright napkins look cool with them and they can never go out of style. (Mine were actually my mother’s! They are over 25 years old but they still sell them in department stores today! How is that for timeless!)

I added in these bowls that I bought from Anthropology($12), colorful napkins that I bought a few years ago and brightly colored glasses that were a wedding gift. Here are some similar ones.

I used a white linen hemstitch placemat, which is perfect for a breakfast or a lunch. You can buy some HERE ($54.00/Set of 6).

It also helps that I have a beautiful centerpiece… (although it’s on its way out.)

The point is… You can mix and match the pieces that you already own to create beautiful tablescapes that are both charming and interesting!
