This table is for my son, the “chef.” He is always cooking for us, and loves to help me with the blog too…”you should blog this Mom~” The least I could do is set a table in his honor!
The centerpiece is made of dish towel roses and utensil stems
A chef ornament hangs from the chandelier
Open cookbooks line the table runner
They are open to recipes I know he’d like
At one end of the table is a tray of finishing salts to choose from
At the other end is a basket of fresh vegetables and the menu
We’re having some of his very favorite things
The white plates on the side are designed especially for artichokes, with the center well to hold the artichoke and a smaller well on the side for sauce. The remaining trough is for discarding the leaves. We are avid artichoke eaters, my mom gave me these plates years ago
I know we will have a lively meal at this table!

Tomorrow I will show you how to make a weathered painted pot like the one I used for the centerpiece, no skills required!
