My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Setting the table. Forks go on the left, knives and spoons on the right; glassware goes above the knives and spoons. Flatware for the first course (salad fork, soup spoon) goes on the outside; main-course flatware goes on the inside. Fold the napkin and either place it under the fork (less formal), or in the centre of the plate (more formal). If you are using a napkin ring, place the napkin to the left of the forks or on top of the plate. If you are serving soup, you can place the folded napkin between the soup bowl and the salad plate.
