Prospect your china hutch
for the basics of this
elegant look: white linens,
champagne flutes, and your
best china (here the dotted
plate). Then warm up the
white with touches of gold
that don’t cost a mint.
A floral plate and a leafy
napkin ring look right for
the holidays and year-
round. Another
multitasking must-have: a
set of clear glass cylinders.
For Christmas, fill with
greenery snipped from
your tree,
above.
Come
New Year’s Eve, swap the
greens for roses.
