20 Holiday Tables That Look Expensive (but Cost Less than $50)

Odds and Ends

"This was a fun table to put together using pieces I have gathered over the last 32 years. The brown goblets were my registry choice for my wedding 32 years ago. The gold chargers were Target clearance about 18 years ago. The gold leaf glasses were thrift store finds about the same time. The beaded placemats and leaf plates were T.J. Maxx finds last year. I picked up the salt and pepper shakers over the years at after-holiday clearance. The copper colander I used for the centerpiece was a garage sale find. My favorite piece is my tablecloth. I found that at Hancock (a fabric store) on the 50 percent-off remnant table. I placed it diagonally over the table and didn't even hem it. I just fringed the cut ends." —delphinium33
