"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.

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.
