CONSIDER YOUR SET TING
A unique combo of colors and a loose mix of materials make a dining
table feel relaxed and inviting but still celebratory. Here, vintage yellowware
pie dishes serve as unconventional dinner plates, and individual cutting
boards hold bread and salt dishes; for a stylish touch, wind ribbon around
their handles.

REIMAGINE A WRE ATH
Opposite: Elevate a buffet table or entryway with a simple bough arrange-
ment that you can pull together yourself. Arrange four sturdy branches
(these are eucalpytus) on a table, and wrap them together with floral wire.
Add lighter stalks (here, ‘Purple Majesty’ millet), and hang the display on a
wall with a ribbon. Affix smaller dried plants and flowers, such as Echinops
and centaurea pods, as pops of color. For the how-to, see page 148.
