Tartan Plaid ~ Part Two

A beautifully set table, such as this one set by Ralph Lauren, takes time and effort, but will allow your guests to feel special. Searching for ideas that serve as a template will make this task easier.

The furnishings and the accessories in your home should create an environment that is enjoyable for you. When you feel comfortable, the task of being host or hostess is joyful.

Shown here are some ideas using the tartan plaid for your home, tabletop, and comfort. Add love and hospitality, and your house becomes a home.

TARTAN LINENS
