Find Your Place

From Wish Magazine (article by Karen Taylor Gist, photos by David Grunfeld):

"Creating a tasteful setting doesn’t mean rewarming the same old look year after year. Your grandmother’s china might be perfectly at home with trendy flatware, or a handmade-pottery place setting might suit your style better than crystal and silver. Here are fresh takes on the Thanksgiving table from five area designers."

I was honored to be asked to do a table setting for this!

Valorie Hart does a Thanksgiving table setting for Wish Magazine

The table setting is inspired by the hunt. Vintage and modern elements are combined with textures of autumn. Vintage Eva Zeisel plates in the Norleans pattern rest on a halo of turkey feathers. Modern flatware in black is a conversation starter. Hair on hide serves as a “tablecoth”. The “centerpiece” is a metal antler sculpture festooned with a stem of flowering Chinese Lantern. A sprig of rosemary is tucked into the napkin tied with an oversize gift tag used as a place card.

Vintage dinnerware from Caravan Finds at The Shops at 2011; Almoco flatware (comes in black, gold, silver) from Design Within Reach; Metal antler from Perch; Hair on hide from Tandy Leather; Glassware, copper colored candles, napkin, and “Hello” tag from Belladonna.

  1. Valorie -- this is smashing! My favorite touch is the feathers under the plates -- though I have fears that a tickle fest might start after a few too many cocktails.
