One thing I love about summer entertaining is a pretty table.

If you read my post, here, my sister added tables together until she got enough seating for her party of 20.

What I learned years ago, and when you’re short of cash to spend on expensive tablecloths (which you may need 2-3 of for a large group), is to use bed sheets.

Like my sister did, you can inter-mix a sheet and a tablecloth.

On my back patio, I recently folded and used a shower curtain as a table runner.

My friend, Krissy, who owns a very cool store called Terra Firma Home, uses extra fabric pieces table runners or tablecloths.

There are so many ways to be creative with your dinner table when you either run out of time or money.

Do you have a quick, easy, and affordable answer for table coverings?
