#table dressing

Pierre Bonnard

“As you get up in the morning, as you make decisions, as you spend money, make friends, make commitments, you are creating a piece of art called your life.”

Mary Catherine Bateson

So, you want to host a 70s dinner party? 

Just remember that dressing the table is every bit as important as dressing yourself. With just a few simple flourishes, you can turn your soiree into a night Elaine and Lionel will never, ever forget.

I really find that simple decorations are just so much more classy. Don’t you?

And don’t forget the napkins.  

If you really want to push the boat out, you might want to look into this thing the Japanese call ori-gam-i.  Simple, yet effective.
