[Nfb-krafters-korner] Opinion please

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Joyce and everyone, going back to my bachelor days a couple of paper 
towels or maybe the flyers that came in the junk mail served me just fine 
for a placemat.
Perhaps this was my early form of recycling, the flyers were going to get 
tossed out anyway.

If I can't toss it in the washer & dryer, it doesn't belong to me!

Joyce,

I'm a little late to this discussion, but one thing to consider is to make
them out of machine wash and dry fabric. We avoid placemats at our place
because the ones we have liked are all spot clean only. Really? I mean you
are supposed to eat over it and they want you to spot clean only.

To me a kitchen table and a dining room table are miles apart in what I
would do. Now if you are like me and only have a dining room table I strike
a happy medium. First who are you. Are you the formal dining room type? Are
you the casual kitchen type where everything and everyone gathers in the
kitchen? Either way, I like a dining room to look like the most delicious
wondrous thing is about to happen. So I want candles a nice low center
piece, and probably my table set all the time with tasteful dishes,
silverware, cloth napkins. I saw this in a home a set table and just loved
the idea. I walked in and got excited thinking about what kinds of things
would happen in such a lovely place. To me, no place mats except for the
prince and princesses. Kitchen is kick back with plastic tablecloth for
little ones, or just a simple cloth. Maybe sugar, salt,pepper, fruit bowl on
the table

Yes, I always do themes for the Holidays. When I had a kitchen, I had Easter
table cloth, Christmas, balloons, red-white and blue themes, and a picnic
table theme. The only theme I would do pretty much is Christmas in my dining
room. Dining room was pretty much changed with the seasons. I, me, do not
like placemats for adults. I do have a washer and do not mind washing my
tablecloth after you leave. My grand kids are pretty clean eaters. Not the
under ten ones, smile. But that is fine. I run my hands around the cloth
where the little ones, and me sit and spray the spots then wash.  So no fuss
at all.

Oh if I have napkin rings I fold the napkins put them in the rings and then
they are set diagonally across the dish. This is a very pretty look.

But hey this house we are kick back, so my dining room table is in my
Livingroom. Right now I have a cloth napkin flat on the table in the middle
so it looks like a diamond square. On each corner are things Kevin brought
back from China several years ago. In the middle is a small rug that is
three dimensional. On one corner is a six inch tall vase all decorated, a
glass ball painted inside, a jade ball within a ball, and the other corner
is a brass bell which really doesn't go, but I like the shape. The shape is
an apple. . but usually I have a red water pitcher, or butterfly vase with
du dads around them. Just simple things on my tablecloth of either white or
blue. At Christmas my table is much more formal.

Becky smiling

I need your input on this please.  For those of you, who are decorative
minded for your home...

What color placemats would you use in your kitchen?  What would you use in
your dining  room?

Would you use holiday colors  for Holiday times?  Example red, white &
blue-Memorial Day & July 4, fall colors in the Fall, Halloween colors  and
Red and//or green for Christmas?  Would you use these type only in the
kitchen?

Has anyone purchased placemats lately?  How much did you or would you pay
for 4 of them?

Thanks Joyce
