New Year's Eve Table

Pat set the table with a bit of a change to celebrate the New Year - it is set for two. She used beautiful Lenox "Westchester" dinnerware and paired it with bright peacock blue. It might seem like an odd combination, but I think it turned out really nice.....especially after Pat found a mask using those colors in the back of my closet.

Flatware is "Kyoto Frosted Gold" by Holister

Pat used Cristal D'Arques' "Lady Diamond" glassware and matching vase to add more glamour 

For the centerpiece, Pat used gold picks from Pier 1 this year and a glitzy mask in matching colors
