• Tablescaping, Again

  Lamest table mockups.  Ever.
  57″ rounded corner-ed square table instead of 60″ round.
  Random red chair to stand in for my red napkins and flowers.
  Coffee can to stand in for centerpiece.  It’s about the right diameter, but totally not the right height or shape.
  Absence of votive holders in 2 heights that will also surround the coffee can centerpiece.
  Vinyl wallcovering remnants used for the mockups.

  I thought I liked the runner better (Yeah, it’s too short.  Remember, I was using a remnant.) . . .
  

  . . .but then, one day, I woke up and desired something a little less done.  Oh wait, Martha already did it.
  

  Finally, our friend, Mr. Coffee Can.  He is playing the role of “scaled figure” today.
  

  We’re doing the square in three different patterns, none of which the ghetto pieces above represent.  And yes, I’ve checked to make sure we can fit 8 placesettings around without too many or any plates/flatware/glassware sitting on the edge of our glorified placemats/truncated runners.  Oh, and the square is a 27″ square.  24″ squares worked slightly better, but then I will waste some of my 54″ wide goods.  The runner above was about 13.5″ wide and should have been 84-96″ long.
