Gray and Pink Tablescape

This week, Pat selected a paisley-like grey and white place mat that she purchased several years ago from Tuesday Morning as the inspiration for the color theme on this week's tablescape.  She chose light gray chargers (inexpensive plastic thrifted ones and then spray painted them with plastic adhesive spray paint matching the gray on the place mat) and mixed it with Dansk's slate "The Burbs" and "Pearl Pink" from JCPenney dinnerware to create the tablescape.













Where it came from:
Gray and white place mats - from Tuesday Morning years ago
Charger - thrifted from Tailwaggers (our local Humane Society's No Kill Animal shelter) thrift store
