Busy bee this week. The person who is replacing me on my old job has started so I’m teaching him the ropes as well as trying to do the new job and have a super busy week at home too.
So while I’m beavering away I thought I’d share a super simple dinner setting, just the way I like it. This was for when Anne and August came over a few weeks ago. All white with some green touches. That’s all. If this had been a more formal occasion I’d have added a white table cloth and switched the paper napkins to linen but other than that it would probably be the same.
Less is more.. that should be law. ;o)

It was a very nice evening, my first glögg and all. And the food was great too! And August is a huge fan of Wille's. W has to be the sweetest teenager there is.

I agree, I think simple is best sometimes!

Simple totally has my vote. Love your polka dot napkins and your flatware.

This is a great table setting. I hate when centerpieces, candles, etc. so clutter a table that it's barely functional - nowhere to put the food and too many things going on to allow for conversation. This is much more conducive to a good meal with good people. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely. We're about to buy new dishes and were thinking basic white (have had vintage yellow for years). But now have a white table and we were thinking it might be too.... blah. But one look at your table and I realize how simple and lovely it is. Thanks.
