I seriously can’t remember the last time we had guests over for a meal. Our once dressed dining table has been neglected, and we are lucky if we even sit at the table these days. Well, I decided to change that!

I mean, why can’t I have a lovely table, even if it’s just for us? I decided to keep things simple and create something that we could use every day. I started by dusting off the gold flatware! I typically save for guests… but why? Is it such a mood booster to have pretty flatware, right?

The flatware really started the tablescape, and it took a life of its own from there. I then added a simple round rope placemat and our daily use plates. To add a little drama, I used our cloth napkins and tied them in a knot. What really put it together? This place card from Etsy.

I hope this inspired you to add a little fancy to your dinner table! Also I have a discount code for the flatware if you are interested! Use HTAZ10 for 10% off at Homeplistic!
