White Dish Challenge

This week's table was fun. After Cuisine Kathleen [http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/]   issued a tablescaper's challenge to design a table using only white dishes and one accent color, Pat pulled together one of her favorite dishes from our collection and went to work. She used a light peacock blue placemat as the foundation and played off that for the rest of the table.

The place setting

The napkin ring was purchased as unfinished wood at Michael's and then painted to match

First layer of the place setting by Otagiri is a shell bowl

This stunning shell shaped salad plate follows (say that three times.....oh dear, I know that somewhere up above, my 7th grade English teacher is shaking her head even after nearly 50 years.....Sorry, Mrs. Waters. I know you hated alliteration in a sentence.)

The dinner plate is the same shape

Pat used clear, simple Dollar Store glassware

Votives are the same color as the placemat
