Entertaining a la Parisienne and a few tips to do it right

Good morning my lovely visitors.  It’s a cloudy Monday morning; Not a news anymore, and the only thing I would love to do is to stay inside, grab a cup of hot coco and enjoy a long and warm meal with family and friends.  But, it’s the beginning of a new week and as I said before, a very busy one.  By Wednesday, I hope, I can start posting the updates of our master bathroom remodeling.  It’s going to be a fun week.  For now I’ll share these beautiful images of a Chic-Parisian table setting designed by the  cookbook author Dorie Greenspan “Around my French Table“.  In this article at More magazine Dorie shares a few rules to consider when entertaining a la Parisienne; such as, “forks face down, tines against the tabletop, and serve the water at room temperature (anything colder is too shocking)” Check out the article for really good looking recipes.  Below, is how I would decorate a Parisienne table setting.  Enjoy!

    I love the dining room and table setting, it's not too formal or too casual it just looks so inviting.
    Oh and I can't bear chilled water – I thought that was just me!
