The simple elegance of the great American tablecloth's!
I think that when we see a tablecloth it immediately takes us back to the
Days of early homemaking styles.

They can be very simple or very intricate...
Fine linen to lace
Bright colors to patterns of just about anything.
Red and white checkered says country or Italian.
White linen says your special and company is coming!
Fall festive says harvest and plenty
Christmas says Merry To all
Why has it become so much work or effort to use a tablecloth?
I know all the practical reasons...
But now days you can cover your tablecloths with a clear plastic if you have
Children, or would rather have the option for an easier clean up.
You can also find many plastic ones with the flannel backing;
With so many pretty colors and patterns.
(But please be careful as those tablecloths can leave a lint film on your wood)
I prefer tablecloths and I also use place mats.
Tablecloths come in about every size you can imagine!
Also, you can purchase them for a very reasonable price;
I always look for them at second hand stores,
My reason for writing about this particular home decor and its uses!
We can change our whole presentation of either our kitchen or dining room
By using a simple large piece of fabric that is placed upon our table.
Social graces and simple, cozy feelings!
If you simply prefer not to cover your table, may I suggest using some place mats!
I have very sweet memories of being a child in my Grandmother's kitchen,
The old percolator was making coffee and toast was being served,
But what really sticks out was the fresh tablecloth on the table
Every morning had a new beginning...
Here is a very great tip for keeping tablecloths crisp and wrinkle free.
Wash them and line dry them if possible, as then there is no need for ironing.
A tablecloth can really make the style and a statement...
Home is everything!
