Table Top Settings

Here is a helpful map on how to set your table - posted by Michael Ryan.  Notice that the bread plate is on the left and the glasses are on the right.  When trying to figure out what silver to use and when, always start from the outside and work your way in.
When dressing your table, weather it is be formal or informal, make it interesting looking.  We like using different collections of things - this adds much interest.   Missed matched silverware and plates can start up a fun dinner conversation. Maybe you have dinner plates that once where your mom's or grandma's, use them - why not? Mix them up with other plates you own.

Kelly Wearstler "Mulholland" is mixed with other items found at a local theft store. Matte gold cutlery and a mixture of glass stemware all adds to current "today" feel. Dinner plates, stemware and cutlery can all be found at Table Art. 
Notice how MKandcompany Interior Design and Decoration went one step further and used a variety of mismatched chairs. 
It's design for today's lifestyle.

Celebrating the Dining Room

"It's a moment in time."
Inspired by the original Asian style wall murals in this Dining Room, MKandcompany Interior Design and Decoration has created a space that sparkles and glimmers.  "We have respected the past and beauty of the existing architectural elements and wanted the room to have a very luxurious and contemporary European vibe."
