ECHOES OF THE COAST
Create a simple tabletop for this summertime get-together that borrows from the beauty of the beach. Wave-worn driftwood stars as the centerpiece in this scene, which elicits cherished memories of walks along the shore.

As a finishing note, crisp white china and crystal clear glassware catch the eye like glints of sunshine in the ripple of a wave.
