I just wanted to put up a quick shot my my dinner tablesetting tonight in front of the fireplace. It was pretty simple, a salad, chicken and rice with a sweet muffin and hot chocolate for dessert.
I've had the plaid plates for quite a few years, they came from Target. These were very inexpensive but the enjoyment from them has been priceless. I have been able to mix and match many christmas holiday dishes with them. For tablesettings I like to use the same color theme as my surroundings if I can. In this case I used dishes and accessories with whites, reds and some black, basically the same color theme found in my fireplace mantel decorations. I find alot of times the "road map" for your color scheme is right in front of you. Of course I have been known to use colors that don't match the room at all, in that case the tablesetting is the star. Not very helpful am I ??? ;)

I absolutely adore your placesetting in front of the fireplace! The plaid plates are beautiful, as is that glass cloche. Gorgeous -
Just beautiful. One of my all time favorite places in the winter is to eat by the fire. Who could resist a tablescape like that? Love the napkin too-it's just perfect.
This is just beautiful! I love the plates (I do remember Target having them and I'm sorry I never picked some up)!

This is such a pretty setting in front of your fireplace. Most romantic! I'd sure like to find a set of plaid plates. Is there any information on these that might help me track some down. Love plaid for Christmas!
Thanks for sharing. ~ Sarah
Thanks everyone for your great comments!
Sarah, I purchased the plates at Target quite a few years ago. I have heard some people find them on Ebay.
I love the way you put things together that is just not predictable! You are a true artist! LOVE your photography!
LOVE the black and red (but you saw at my blog that I tend to go that route too!). Thanks for stopping by this week- I am a new follower, everything here is so lovely! :D
Happy New Year!
