Setting A Fall Tablescape

[pinterest]table set5I am having guests over for dinner tomorrow and I will tell you that I am a bit nervous about it. Why? Because one friend that is coming over is a very talented Italian chef. Her food is always delicious. I am not a great cook like her and that is why I am nervous! So I decided to keep the menu simple and let my husband cook something up on the grill. hahaI thought if I set the dining table up pretty, that might impress her and she won’t notice the simple food. haha (I am just cracking myself up). This is my everyday table centerpiece look:table set7It is not everyday I try to set a fancy tablescape, so I made a practice run to be sure I had everything:table setI found this $5.99 Fall colored material from Christmas Tree Shop in the closet and used as my foundation:table set2I used my everyday dinnerware and just layered:table set4I do not like to put a lot of decorative items or large centerpieces in the center of table while eating.
