Filled with gorgeous pictures and practical advice on how to take your dining table to the next level。 The napkin folding guide is great。 With inspirational ideas on settings for Pizza nights to the full on glamour of Gatsby this is a must read for anyone looking to up their home entertaining。 I was given a copy of The Art of Tablescaping by NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review。

I love a good tablescape。 I have two dining tables just to decorate for holidays。 When I saw this book I knew I had to read this！ I didn’t know who Bugsy was before this and I’ll tell you what this lady knows her stuff！ The pictures alone are visually stunning and worth the price of the book。 Her tips and ideas make it even more！ Definitely a must have for anyone that likes or wants to entertain！

Very inspirational！ I wish the photos had been in color， but I still enjoyed the read and pictures。 I like that the all the elements come together so well， the flowers really do offset the cheap items to create fun centerpieces！ Color schemes work well， too。 I haven't tried mixing up shapes to much， but I likes the idea and will be experimenting with them in the future。 I enjoy themes in my centerpieces， too。 The height of centerpieces always threw me， but Ms。 Drake makes it looks so simple， I m Very inspirational！ I wish the photos had been in color， but I still enjoyed the read and pictures。 I like that the all the elements come together so well， the flowers really do offset the cheap items to create fun centerpieces！ Color schemes work well， too。 I haven't tried mixing up shapes to much， but I likes the idea and will be experimenting with them in the future。 I enjoy themes in my centerpieces， too。 The height of centerpieces always threw me， but Ms。 Drake makes it looks so simple， I may well give it a try！ I love wine bottles with lights in them！This is a good idea book！ It will get one started in table decorating。I received a Kindle arc from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review。 。。。more

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I had not heard of Bugsy before picking up this book。 I'm aware of the show Below Deck but haven't seen it before so I went into this book with little context。The tablescaping pictures are beautiful！ It's like grazing boards with non-edible things。 Drake gives tips for varying colors and heights to draw the eye。 She has guides on creating specific themes as well as questions to help you nail your own。 It's a more t I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。I had not heard of Bugsy before picking up this book。 I'm aware of the show Below Deck but haven't seen it before so I went into this book with little context。The tablescaping pictures are beautiful！ It's like grazing boards with non-edible things。 Drake gives tips for varying colors and heights to draw the eye。 She has guides on creating specific themes as well as questions to help you nail your own。 It's a more thorough guide than I expected。The pictures are great to look at and there are some fun ideas！ 。。。more
