Hi Friends, I wanted to share a few images and ideas in case you are thinking of an impromptu New Year's Eve dinner or small celebration. I'm not a "tablescaper" like some of you, but I thought it would be fun to see a few vintage inspired tablescapes and gather some common themes that will work for a last minute plan.
from Vintage Country Style
I fell in love with this small group table with farmhouse style. From using copies of vintage sheet music and chalkboards to chilling the champagne in a galvanized bucket. Of course clock face images adorn the party hat table decor.
Quickly on browsing through Pinterest, it's easy to see a decor theme for tablescapes. The color scheme is the first to stand out with black/gold/silver and white being the predominant hues for the table. In some ways it makes it a bit easier to pull together china or pottery for the base of the tablescape decor.
I love the mass of varied clear wine bottles with white candles. It creates such a dramatic ambiance with candlelight and bits of bling; other table decor really isn't necessary when candlelight is the showstopper.
Mary creates amazing tablescapes that evoke a festive vintage mood.
Here is one of her detailed New Year's Eve settings.
Again we see the old clock face motif with black/silver/gold
in vintage and antique accessories.
Mercury Glass votives, fresh greens and a galvanized tin centerpiece create a gorgeous French Country tablescape. Burlap and linen make an easy base of table linens for neutral or white china and pottery.
More gold and candlelight with the clock faces as table decor and mercury glass votives. Gold and silver Christmas ornaments with strings of pearls meander for a centerpiece, and a more glamorous touch.
Here the leopard print and grays work as a neutral in an overhead view.
Using different clock faces keeps it interesting.
I love the idea of hanging objects, ornaments, and clocks from a chandelier above the tablescape. The vintage silver ice bucket is used as a centerpiece this time for a small intimate setting.
Printing out copies of antique clock faces make it super easy to create your own themed New Year's "china" by using glass or heavy plastic dinnerware with the print underneath. Actually, this could work for any themed dinner party theme by just attaching any photocopy print under glass.
So many fun ideas and inspiration to dress up your table here.

Takeaway ideas for a last minute gathering:
You can put together a fun and impressive impromptu tablescape with a liberal use of candlelight. Taper candles in bottles, mercury glass votives, revamping a Christmas centerpiece (minus the obvious "Christmas" elements) nestled in holly and greenery are a quick way to bring some sparkle and intimacy. Don't put away your tree ornaments just yet; let them adorn your table. Using gold, silver, and black and white accents with glass and metallics are a beautiful way to set a quick and special intimate table. Have fun and Happy New Year!!!
