Rustic Elegance
Savannah designer and stylist Elizabeth Demos looks to nature’s best for her warm table. “I wanted it to be rustic and woodsy—sans
gnomes,” Elizabeth says. “A fabulous table setting can be as close as the local tree service, the farmers’ market, or your
own backyard.” She stresses there are no rules when it comes to a lovely tablescape. “You don’t have to use objects for their
intended purposes. I used petite tart tins for individual salt and pepper holders and canning jars for candleholders. Look
at your own possessions in a different way,” Elizabeth says. “Dig deep in your cabinets. There are some gems hiding in there.”
She also loves to shop estate sales and the Web (etsy.com is a favorite source) to score great accessories.
