Lenox "Mansfield" Table

Lenox produced the classic pattern "Mansfield" from 1950 through 2005. It is simple and elegant and sets a beautiful table. It's so popular in my family that three people own this set of dinnerware.

For inspiration this week, Pat went to my "Armani curio" (that holds a collection of our Mother's Armani figurines which I am blessed to caretake) and pulled out "Harlequin." Here's what she did with him:

Plates are decorated with a simple gold trim and thin gold verge

Pat matched the Harlequin's costume with spray paint and asked her husband to paint this inexpensive lacquer charger

The glassware is accented with just a touch of gold

Using the various colors from the Harlequin's costume, Pat set several variations to the table but settled on rust.

Where it came from:
Rust Colored Charger - inexpensive lacquer charger spray painted to match Harlequin's costume
Dinnerware - "Mansfield" from the Presidential Collection of Lenox (1950-2005)
Flatware - "Kyoto Gold" by Holister from Wayfair last year
Glassware - from Pier 1 last year
Napkins - Handmade by Pat to match the dinnerware and charger
Napkin Ring - inexpensive shower curtain ring spray painted to match charger
Harlequin - from our Mother
