What is more "fifties" that a meal at the local diner? Serve a bottle of coke with your hamburger and fries (or maybe chicken fried steak?) and you are all set. Add a little music (via a "45" or two on the tabletop jukebox) and you are experiencing some real 50's nostalgia.....
The table this week is an updated version of a classic:
Where it came from:
Black and White Square Place Mats - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago
Black Charger - "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa from Replacements.com
Red Charger and Bread and Butter Plates - "Scarlet" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate by Homer Laughlin from Replacements.com
Dinnerware - by Gibson from a local antique store
Flatware - "Vault" by Gourmet Settings from Costco years ago
Glassware - from the Dollar Tree (still available)
Napkins - from Linentablecloth.com (an online site for inexpensive Wedding and table setting supplies)
This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/
Oh, I love this fun table! We do love our Coca Cola here in Georgia, and although I have a small collection of "Coke" items and have thought about trying a tablescape, it would pale in comparison to this one. (I do have napkin rings that look like Coke bottle caps!) I really enjoyed seeing this table and have picked up some ideas to file away in my brain.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this table, such a cute retro theme. You nailed this one.
