PLATED CHRONICLES

 

 

 

Ok, I have to confess: I have a weakness for tableware! It probably stems from loving to set up dinner tables for when we have friends and family over.

Since I am totally feeling the marble thang, I thought why not having plates with said look. So I went ahead and bought these dinner plates and paired them with these beautiful and handmade bowls that definitely complement some of the blue accents I have in my space (I will soon post a reveal!). To anchor them I added onyx mirrored chargers, which add a cool and glossy texture. In this predominantly cold palette, the gold and textured flatware stand out dramatically, which I absolutely love.

I’ve had this flatware set for 3 years almost and never used them, in fear of ruining them. Also, I don’t think I had the right plates to pair them with. So I’m glad I finally came across these dinner plates and found a way to combine them with.

Here are the sources.

Charger : Mirror Charger Onyx, by West Elm

Dinner Plate: Belay Dinner Plate,CB2

Bowl: Organic Shaped Crackle Bowl, West Elm (Handmade)

Flatware: Paris Golden Hammered Flatware Set, Hampton

Napkin: Unknown, Home Goods

I’ll start posting my little creations here on the blog and of course provide info in regards to where I got the items from.

What do you guys think of this ensemble? Do you have a similar setup? What’s your current favorite table setup? Feel free to share!
