Cozy Luncheon

Bring your interior furniture outdoors or vice versa to create a memorable “book club luncheon”. Use interesting earth tone fabrics instead of a plain tablecloth for texture and a well-traveled look, like this black & white paisley with cowhide, and slip-cover basic chairs you already own. Bring a pop of color by mixing and matching your good china with accent plates, and using place cards made out of corks to create an unexpected look with a casual European feeling.
