White Plate Challenge

Cuisine Kathleen of "Let's Dish" [ http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/ ] issued a challenge to tablescape bloggers for this week posting - design a tablescape using white dishes and only one other color. Pat set about to do just that. Here's the sleek, modern table that she came up with:
Over view of the table - just white and olive green



Close up of the place setting

Flatware is sleek, shiny, and very modern.

The pattern is "Fluence" by Oneida

The perfect choice - inexpensive Dollar Store glassware

The plates are also sleek, smooth, and modern looking. The simple olive green napkin is folded and placed under the salad plate.


One of Pat's favorite things to do to add interest to a table - use matching colored tea lights or votives

The centerpiece consists of just four glass cylinders holding white candles - no fuss, no glitz


One last look from the other end of the table
Where it came from:
White tablecloth - gift from Pat
Olive Green/Teal Reversible Placemats - from Pier 1
White Dishware - by 10 Strawberry Street from Pat's collection
Olive Green Napkins - Bed, Bath, and Beyond
Flatware - "Fluence" Stainless by Oneida from Replacements
Glassware - Dollar Store
White Candles and Olive Green Tea Lights - Michael's
Votive Holders - Pat's collection
Square Glass Cylinders - Ross

We will be joining Cuisine Kathleen's "Let's Dish" this Wednesday for her annual "Let There Be White Challenge": http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/

  13. I love it! Its very modern and contemporary, which I would not normally like, but the olive green with the white is very appealing. Jennifer

    1. this has extra junk everywhere. its flowery in its desire- the opposite of the spirit of modern. about as modern as plastic covers over grandmas couch.
