When your choosing your table settings, think about how the color or lack thereof will affect the palette you are choosing for you tablescape. If you will be purchasing a stone top, mosaic or copper top table, my suggestion is to ensure you are purchasing your tabletop items to quietly float/sit on the table while still giving the tabletop star-billing. You don't want these tablescape elements competing with the tabletop and this is why I am a big fan of white dinnerware and a even bigger fan of the stemless wine goblet or a wine goblet that has the smallest stem possible.
I am stark, raving mad (...is there any other kind?) for Simon Pearce ! I can't think of one piece of blown glass or hand crafted pottery from his work that is not absolutely beautiful. From cookbooks to the smallest detail on the table - Simon Pearce has it all covered.

Pottery Barn I love you too! I have always liked Pottery Barn, but in the last few years I was nonplussed about most of their offerings. This year they have the wow! factor going on big time. There is much information on their website for decorating and styling your home and getting it spruced up for the coming holiday season.
