Quick Change Artist In Eight Parts + Mosaic Monday

If you want to change the look of your table, it doesn't take a whole new set of dinnerware to do it.  This is an example of one basic setting, which can give you a complete new look just by changing out the salad plates.  Of course you may also want to change the centerpiece, candle holders, napkins and the flatware to vary it even more.  For the sake of a quick example here, I chose to just change out the salad plates.

Haviland







And a variety of Fitz and Floyd salad plates for however the mood may move you.



































So eight versions of the same table, with another choice for a larger crowd.....mix up the various salad plates in a mix and match version of the table settings.

And for Mosaic Monday over at Little Red House here's today's mosaic.  Join all the participants and submit your mosaic for all to enjoy.

  18. Thanks for stopping by everyone, I know it is a busy week for all of us!

    Those candle holders are vintage Metlox and come in several colors, ivory, red, turquoise, dusty pink.

    All of the salad plates are from Fitz and Floyd, the pink is Renaissance Peach. If you go to the tags at the bottom of the post and hit Fitz and Floyd you will get a list of other posts that have these plates incorporated into previous tablescapes!

    Have a Happy Turkey Day!
