Springtime Black and White Tablescape

 A "Black and White" tablescape is not a typical theme for Spring, but Pat thought it would be fun to play with - so she came up with a simple table for this week's blog that relies more on form than color to make it interesting.

Pat went back and forth about adding some additional accent color (by filling the centerpiece bowl) but in the end, decided she wanted a less "complicated" table and used only black and white

Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake

The first layer of the place setting is a white soup bowl - this one is from Target's "Home" collection

Pat found these inexpensive accent plates at Ross years ago - then she found similar material and made matching napkins

This is a "White" Fiesta(ware) luncheon plate. It sits on a Black "Fun Factory" dinner plate by Waechtersbach

Always a "go to" favorite (mine - not Pat), the charger is from Maryland China Company

Another "go to" favorite, the glassware is from the Dollar Tree

One last look from the other end of the table
