slo’s THURSDAY 2/13 poll - Placemats

[Skywalker3]

We rarely eat at the table, but there are placemats on the dining room table and kitchen table. So, they're there the few times we choose to eat there. Nothing fancy. I do put out different ones at Christmas.

We use placemats when it is just DH and I. I have quite a few seasonal designs. I prefer the table to be just that a table during the rest of the day.

I do use real vintage linen tablecloths when we have company. I use a table runner on the custom (vintage) work table we opted for vs an island. I buy vintage linens at goodwill. The only disadvantage is ironing them. I have found an easier way though...dampen the tablecloth and put it in the dryer for 2-3 minutes. Remove and spray thoroughly with spray starch. Promptly iron. Quick, easy and looks, oh so good LOL!
