Here’s one of the many things that make me borderline if not completely certifiable! I hate how normal table linens are SQUARE. The reason I have such strong feelings about this matter is because when the place mats are square on a ’round’ table the corners overlap and bothers the heck out of me!

Which is why I have been searching high and low for tableware like the Wedge Placemat Set from Blair.

The placemats keep your table free from dinner time nicks and scratches, crumbs and spills. Enough pieces to cover a party of six, it’s the value-priced way to have extra placemats on hand for those bigger family gatherings or for those impromptu get-togethers with guests. Fully reversible for easy transitional styling.

But my favorite feature of the wedge table placemats is the SHAPE! As you can see they are not square but angled or “wedged” in such a way that the corners don’t overlap but still supply ample coverage to protect your table and set your dinnerware upon. If you are crazy like me these simple style features are the defining difference between purchasing your basic set and buying a wedged set.

Also please note that this style feature applies to mainly round dinner tables.

Price $34.99 (for six)

Over the years, dishes are bound to crack, cups are bound to break, matching saucers go missing..

What was once a full set of pristine dinnerware is now a motley crew of mis-matched plates, glasses and assorted coasters. Ha! At least that’s what my cupboard looks like. I can’t be the only one, can I?

Well I thought to myself, time for a new set of dinnerware. Need to refresh the cupboard with fresh troops. And this time around since I know from experience that things will break or go missing I am going to stick to solid colors and no themes! That way when the new set starts to dwindle it will be easy to buy a new set that will match the last.

I have decided on white, I like white. It’s clean, it’s universal and it’s classy. Check out this great deal I found at Cooking.com.
