I have cats so I don't set my table when not in use but i do use a tablecloth all the time. I have many, I can pull off one and replace it quickly when company comes.

Yes,only to cover up the scratches/etc on the wood.

@missy1 I can relate to that. It seems like a big bunch of keys are one of the culprits at my house. People come in and throw down their keys on the table.

@Kitty Galore We have a formal dining room and a small table in the kitchen that only has room for two chairs. DH and I eat there most of the time but when we have any guest we have to eat in the DR.

I usually keep placemats on the kitchen table with only an occasional tablecloth. In the DR I sometimes use a tablecloth just for a change of color, other times I leave the table bare with a centerpiece. When we use it I put out placemats. For holidays or special dinners I will use a tablecloth. So, I guess I just do what I feel like for each occasion. I love a nice white tablecloth with crystal and the good silverware though.

I can't set my DR table just for Christmas decorating as we have several dinners coming before the holiday and have to use the table. So I will do something different for each time we have dinner guest.

On another note, I finally received all of the Magnolia pieces and am using that theme right now. Are you using yours? Will you be posting pictures?

@lucymo Hi ! Are you talking about the Homes & Garden dishes? I'm not familiar with the Magnolia pieces, maybe your thinking about someone else? I have the 12 days of Christmas Home & Garden set and do have that on our kitchen table right now with the cake platter that matches , and ornament tree on top of that with 12 days of Christmas ornaments on it from Pier 1 I purchased last year. 12 days is kind of my theme this year 😀😺
@Kitty Galore I'm sorry, should have explained what I was referring to. I ordered the silk Magnolia pieces, garland, wreath, teardrops, picks and napkin rings from Valerie. I was thinking that you got those too. Maybe it was someone else, I live in a state of confusion most of the time.

@lucymo Oh that's ok I certainly have my days as well, no worries Lol !!! I don't have those pieces, but I saw them presented and they are beautiful ! I.m Sure they look just lovely in your home! If you get the chance and are able to post photos of your pieces would love to see how you displayed them.😀

We have only one dining table in our home, in the dining room, as the kitchen is too small to have any table. We eat every meal every day at it.

I have done covered and uncoverd at different times, but for the last 10 years or so, I have always used my custom made table pads, covered by an elegant but very functional table cloth.

I just like the look of the room better with that cloth on, it looks more finished.

The cloth is by Heritage Lace the style is Heirloom

My Grandmothers always had clear plastic over the beautiful white lace tablecloths in their dining rooms. At Christmas we had the plastic Christmas tablecloth with poinsettias on it.

We are Sicilian and we have tomato sauce at every meal, so plastic is the way to go. The men also took off their dress shirts and ties and ate in their undershirts. LOL

That is so funny cause my mother is Italian , Grandparents are from Naples . When I was a kid I can still remember the plastic tablecloth for Christmas and yes, the men always ate in their undershirts so not yo get tomatoes sauce on their good shirts LOL ! In fact I have photos with the whole family at this big long table and all the men in undershirts !

I use decorative cloth placemats. I use a table cloth at Christmas and dinners where I have too many places and place mats would over lap.

This is a picture I took because my Interior Design students wanted to see our home. Table scapes were just starting to be done, and I quickly put something on the table to take a picture.

This year will be the antique silver, fresh greenery, antique Christmas ornaments, and footed red goblets with tea lights.

It took me a long time to find handmade china for a home done with antiques.

I never use a tablecloth. Instead,I use Pimpernel placemats. I’ve used Pimpernel for 35 years.

Oh I only wish that photo was my house! It is a stock photo from the Heritage Lace website.

I have that table cloth, and maybe I can get the tea set someday as well! lol

Do you put a tablecloth on either your kitchen table or dinning table? I dont put one our formal dinning table, cause it's glass , but i do put one on our kitchen table . I like a really good quality white tablecloth especially when it's set. which I usually keep it set for the different seasons or holidays. Right now it is all set for Christmas.

What at do you do ?
