As you can see, it is easy to change the style and feel of a place setting even if you use the same salad plate. Pat took just minutes and came up with three very different, very clever looks.
The unifying element - "Sunny Branch" accent/salad plate from Pier 1

With heartfelt thanks, we appreciate the chance to show off some of our tables for one.
All three place settings are equally lovely! I love the yellow goblet and the yellow vase, but I think I have to have some of those wonderful Sunny Branch dessert plates. This means a trip to Pier 1! Shame on you two -- today is Husband Appreciation Day and my husband is not going to be happy about this! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Once again taking a plate as an inspiration and setting 3 different place settings is fabulous! This is easily one of my favorite blogs!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
All are beautiful...the black with a bit of yellow is so striking!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week...
Amazing how many ways you used that plate! So sweet. I love that color yellow!
ReplyDeleteKaren
I love everything you put together here. Such pretty color combinations....Christine
ReplyDeleteThe blue and yellow is astounding, the yellow is cheerful and the black and yellow is just amazing! I couldn't pick a favorite at all. I love the plate. You've made it look perfect in all settings. have a blessed week. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteI have visited your blog once before, and I'm so glad to have another chance this time. What a great trio of looks!!! I love to see 2 things: (1) A demonstration of how a single element can yield a number of fabulous and very diverse looks, and (2) How and basically WHY folks should not balk at setting a table for one!!! I hear from SO MANY friends, "Well, it's just me. I don't see the point in setting up anything special." SAY WHAT?!??!?!!! Since when aren't you special just because there's just one of you dining?!?!??! Truth be told, I actually make it MORE fancy when it's just me because I know I won't break stuff like my husband might! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all three looks! GREAT post! Have a great week. I'm visiting from Cuisine Kathleen's party.
What a great plate! And how much fun you showed us using it in so many different and creative ways! Love the sleek ultra modern flatware with it! I'm with Alycia, setting a table for one is just as important as a table for 12!
ReplyDeleteJenna
WOW! I love the different combinations - well done!!
ReplyDeleteA very versatile plate with three perfect combinations! You have done a wonderful job changing each place setting! I love all three for each is so different but my favorite is the cobalt blue and yellow. Thaanks for sharing your idea!
