Using the brown leaf tablecloth turned out to be harder than I thought it would be. The blue napkins I found in my stash and the gray plates in my cupboard, so I was lulled into a false sense of complacency about the final outcome. I did search the limited shopping possibilities around me, hoping for accessories that would look great with the tablecloth ( I was especially looking for small glass fishing floats for a centerpiece...no luck ), but almost everything I brought home looked wrong in the end.
At Pier 1 I found some dishes that I thought would be great and I had the tablecloth with me when I saw them, but at home they were too yellow and too bright. Unless they look good with some other tablecloths I guess they'll have to go back. That said, I am pretty impressed with the cheap dishes available at Target and Pier 1. I'll have to re-think my view that dishes are too expensive to change easily. Of course, they are all poorly made in China, but the designs are nice.
That looks beautiful to me, Dana. I LOVE that tablecloth.
