AROUND THE TREE. Laura makes certain her table is positioned in a lovely space, where each guest not only has a special place setting but a great view as well.

BALANCING ACT. Laura balances a large and ornate centerpiece with a simpler pattern for her plates.

ALL THAT GLITTERS. Adding metallic accents, as Laura did here with gold, adds warmth, sparkle, and "glam" to the table.

A creatively styled table can set the tone for any meal at any time of the year. Sitting down to a thoughtfully prepared place setting makes everyone feel special and welcome.
