As you know, we take our tablescapes pretty seriously here at WOM, but like everyone, we can also get stuck in a rut styling said tables.  Sure, we all play favorite with different types of dinnerware, flatware and the such over the years, but it can all start to becoming a bit boring and maybe even too expected holiday after holiday.  So in order to spice things up, I’ve recently turned to napkins to bring a little flavor to the mix. A little fold here, a little fold there, and your place setting now has that elevated feel you’d find at your favorite restaurant. 

Since a nicely-folded napkin can set even the simplest of tables apart when entertaining, especially for a special occasion, I knew I wanted to tackle an easy napkin tutorial with our friends at World Market just in time for the holidays.  As you saw here on the blog last month, I find myself turning to World Market time and time again for all of those unique, yet totally affordable, details when I’m entertaining. This way I’m more inclined to mix and match to keep the table fresh and fun.  

Mastering a few new ways to fold a napkin isn’t as hard as you’d think.  In the gallery below you’ll find super easy step-by-step instructions for five different napkin folds that you can print out and file away for all your holiday entertaining needs. (Don’t worry I still need a cheat sheet sometimes too!)  Truly, MKR

Happy Halloween! If you’re anything like me, you’ve procrastinated a bit this year (the holiday falls on a Saturday after all) and may need a little last-minute inspiration to pull together a festive spread.  

Earlier this week, we rounded up several must-try ideas for your haunting party this weekend—a great place to start.  But really can we just talk about the beyond-wickedly chic Halloween party that MKR styled a few years ago?!  Definitely worth pulling out of the archives to share again in time for a little last-minute party inspiration. 

It is indeed possible to put a chic, stylish spin on this holiday, and MKR shows us how it’s done.  A blend of silvers and greys mix in with black accents to create a color palette that is as beautiful as it is spooky.  Candles upon candles upon candles, moss and fun little accessories complete the design, though the grub and libations take the cake in my opinion.  Her recipe for the perfect candy apples and warm bourbon punch may just be everything you need to impress your guests tonight. Leave all of that kitschy orange-and-black everything behind!  Cheers, Kat
