Table setting relief!

I had a painter in the house for the last two weeks and things have been in total disarray to say the least! Everything from the kitchen was piled onto my table and we were eating surrounded by junk for a week. It was miserable! I was cooking great food but the experience of eating it was awful. I started putting things to rights today as all the work was done. It felt great to set the table. My mother is coming over tonight so I'm happy it looks so good.

My top tip for table setting is to use large mats in addition to a table cloth. It really cuts down on stains!
