Even More Placemat Fun

Welcome back to the next installment of Placemat Fun.  Remember my bold flowered runner from a few weeks back.  As you recall, I made this runner out of three reversible placemats.  This week, the placemats will shine on their own...as placamats!  I began layering away.


This tablescape begins with a Chilwich "salt and pepper" runner...such a versatile pieces that is easy to dress UP or dress down.


I opted for white plates, just to let the vibrant flowered mats be the star of the show, but I switched things up and chose square plates this time.


These vivid tomato red napkins from Sur La Table certainly stand out against the white background.


I've dressed them up further with some bold black and silver square napkin rings.


Once again, I've broken the rules and lined up my Aero flatware just a bit differently.


There is nothing timid about this table, including these hefty bowl shaped wine goblets.  Remember those orange napkin rings from the first table table setting?


Today, they have a new job as votive holders!  I was lucky to find these chartreuse green Fuji mums.



They are just the ideal color!  Three Placemat Fun tablescapes down...one to go.


Do you have a favorite?  I'd love to know.  Next week, I wrap this project up.  Crossing my fingers for some cooler weather...dying to set a few more outdoor tables before the summer is over.  This week I will be participating in:

Centerpiece Wednesday (The Style Sisters)
Tabletop Thursday (Between Naps on the Porch)
Feathered Nest Friday (French Country Cottage)
Home Sweet Home Friday  (The Charm of Home)
Seasonal Sundays (The Tablescaper)
Let's Dish (Cuisine Kathleen)
Open House Party (No Minimalist Here)

Hope to see you there.

  1. Good Morning,
    This is my first time to visit, and certainly enjoyed it. Love the bright colors...very pretty.
    That napkin on that white plate looks lovely,
    and loved the square napkin ring, and just the way it lays on the plate. Also thought that was such a clever idea how you used the orange napkins rings
    as candle holders......gonna have to try that now, accept I only have silver ones!! lol so don't know how good that will look, maybe that gives me some incentive to buy some. lol
    The fiji mums were a perfect accent. Very pretty table.
    blessings, Nellie
