Wow, check...mate!
This is so perfect in every detail. You really put a lot of thought and effort into this table. The ribbon on the CP vases is genius and I really like the black candlesticks you painted.
$3.50 for the whole set of flatware!! Great shopping!
The black and white is so striking. I have similar gingham napkins, but am going to have to plan a night raid to "steal" those placemats, LOL.

Checked it out and definitely give it 2 thumbs up!

Kathe,
I checked it out and it's fabulous.
Simply elegant and sophisticated.
I love the ribbon on the vases.
I'm glad you were able to find the placemats!
Thanks so much for sharing.

B&W ...always a hit!! & your table, KathE, is exceptional...love how you used the 'checked' linens ...the placesettings are so lovingly stacked with different shapes! Your CP is quite elegant with the ribbon & black flowers ... love, love, love your wood table...I may have mentioned that before! ;-) TFS! Jeanne S.

WOW, Kathe! What a stunning table! I love blk/white. I'm so glad you chose not use a tablecloth too, the wood is beautiful...and I think perfect for this setting.

I agree with every word the others have said. Great job!
