even the meal looks pretty
Now that it has been established that our new kitchen countertop is gorgeous, but also a scratch and stain magnet (repair job #1 took place on Tuesday to hide the construction damage), I need to assemble an arsenal of placemats and napkins. Pictured here are some of my options. I love the idea of linen, but wouldn’t mind a little thickness to protect against the 10/11 year old lifestyle.

Any suggestions? Placemat experiences you’d like to share?
