3-Step Makeover: Dining Room


Decorative table setting
 

Step 1: Place Setting

Compose compelling place settings so guests focus on food and conversation, not on the empty room. Put dishes and basic stemware alongside Grandma's love-it-forever flatware. Classics commingle with margarita-glass votive holders and $2 curtain ring clips used as napkin/place card holders. Use a half dozen empty soda bottles to spread one bunch of blooms into a big arrangement for just a few bucks.
