High/Low"I set the table the same way I get dressed. I guess I have a lot of clothes." - Miles Redd, featured in the November 2009 issue of House Beautiful - {housebeautiful.com}
I love how Redd showcased a high/low look by featuring a tablecloth from Urban Outfitters and pairing it with a mix of old porcelain selections.
Glimmer & Shimmer"Blue is not traditionally associated with the season, but highlight it with small touches of gold, as in these spray painted miniature pumpkins and a place card written in gold ink, and the color can become a happy participant in holiday revels." {marthastewartliving.com}
I'm all about a touch a glimmer, especially in a metallic gold. A simple way to glam up any traditional table.
Clearly Modern
"Instead of fresh flowers, white Manzanita branches were laid down the center of the table to create a lush landscape. White miniature pumpkins were hollowed out to make votive candle holders. The look was minimalist and still had the feeling of Thanksgiving. It was luxurious and elegant." {colincowie.com}
I'm a huge fan of lucite in the dining room and am inspired by the organic touches Cowie used in place of a common centerpiece. The wood branches and candles aglow give the stark room a feeling of warmth and a fresh take on modern luxe.
Country D'Jour
Currently featured on {foodandwine.com} Rich shades of orange and blue are fail proof for a luxe rural scape worthy for any festive feast and perfect for any garden to table culinary delights.
Rough Luxe
"In this casual dining room in an early 20th-century hunting cabin, engraved silver goblets and julep cups used as flower vases complement hand-painted brown-and-white china." {southernaccents.com}
This is the perfect combination of shiny and rustic, a great way to showcase antique pieces with new found treasures.
Here are a few added inspirations...
