Today’s Charlotte Woman cover Tabletop by Gray Walker
I am very excited to be featured on the cover of Today’s Charlotte Woman this November. I plan to share my tips for setting one table five ways over the next month gearing up for the holidays.

Tabletop By Gray Walker
My first feature is a garden club luncheon. I wanted to create a holiday garden on the table. I “planted” my garden using clippings from my yard with simple dwarf fir trees in terracotta pots. A trail of magnolia leaves and red berries create a connection running down the table much like a garden hedge.

Berries Wrapped in Gold Ribbon By Gray Walker
It is also fun to decorate each place setting with pieces from your centerpiece. Wrapping stems in a soft gold ribbon repeats the theme for each of your guests as they are seated.

Guests Gifts Wrapped in Green and Gold By Gray Walker
Mixing textures and repeating color further define a great tabletop. Burlap with a metallic thread serves as a tablecloth alluding to the garden theme with a hint of holiday shine. Woven placemats and antique crocheted napkins enhance the garden feeling with a touch of texture. My everyday china in leaves of green and white are perfection! Repetition of green glass adds a sparkle that dances around the table.

Antique Crocheted Napkins
A tabletop is not complete without something old. My antique silver serving pieces and crocheted napkins add patina and character. I love inviting family spirits to lunch, they add lots of color to conversation!
Mixing you,
