Elegant Entertaining






Elegant entertaining doesn't have to be expensive when contact paper is used. Your table will look like a million dollars without breaking the bank. With many patterns available it is easy to choose a style to beautifully compliment your dishes and serving pieces.


A simple box or second hand serving tray makes a nice table centerpiece when coordinated with matching napkin rings, place cards and placemats. For a shabby chic look try using an old picture frame for a serving tray with mismatched dishes that are all the rage! Small gift boxes can be covered and filled with mints, nuts or even flowers and placed at each setting for a nice gift for guests.




Whatever your style, elegant, shabby or simply fun and carefree- take time to look around your home for items that can be recovered and used for a new purpose. It is OK to recycle and no one will know the difference!!
