Painter's Tablescape

My sister Pat has a wicked sense of humor. OK - so it has taken me thirteen years to pick the "right" color to paint my house, and yes, I did choose beige........I know - not the most exciting color in the world. But, at least, it is over. Beige it is. The painters are here and the color is going on as I write. My sister decided to throw a "celebration" luncheon to commemorate the "event." And, of course, the table reflects her choice of themes.

Color is the key word to describe the tablescape. Pat used every color of Fiestaware that we own. She borrowed the painter's overalls to use as the basis for the placemats. She took eight different colored napkins and napkin rings to add to the settings. The centerpiece is a mass of colored silk flowers arranged in a paint can. All in all, it made a very colorful impact. And best of all, the Luncheon ladies loved it.
