There aren’t many things I like about Winter, but one is flannel sheets. I have to admit, I am always a bit sad when it’s time to replace them on the bed with percale for summer. (I daresay I am also a bit sad, each and every day, to have to leave my cozy flannel-sheeted bed!) But I don’t just use them on the bed – I have a long-standing habit of also using flat sheets as tablecloths, so when I found a lovely red and white flannel set in a thrift store in a size that was too small for my bed, I bought it anyway. I will be making a throw blanket out of the set soon, but I’ll be honest: my first thought was to immediately use the flat sheet as a tablecloth for a cozy Winter tablescape.

As with all of my tables, most of the items used in this one – not just the flannel sheet – came from thrift stores and other secondhand venues. It’s honestly the only way I can have such a large stash of tablescaping “stuff,” but also, I love the thrill of finding something new whether for a tablescape or for elsewhere in my home. Here’s a tour around this cozy Winter table!

Our plate stack includes a set of four pretty dinner plates by Homer Laughlin – they are heavy ironstone, and may be restaurantware. The salad plate is vintage Anchor Hocking Ruby Red.

Don’t you love the little tin house napkin rings? They help carry out the “cozy-at-home” vibe, I think. The plaid napkins work for me because they echo the red and white color scheme without being another “tiny all-over pattern.”

Glassware is my favorite footed tumbler – these are either Fostoria or Indiana Glass, I’m never sure which because both companies made a very similar line of drinkware and I have a hard time telling them apart.

Another homespun touch on this cozy winter tablescape is the use of these individual butter pots that are made of old-fashioned crockery.

And flatware is stainless “Napoleon Bee” by Wallace – the only thing not thrifted on the table! I bought four place settings a couple of years ago on Amazon. (Affiliate link – if you purchase from my link you pay nothing extra but I earn a small commission to help defray blog hosting costs. Thank you!)

The centerpiece is very simple on this one – a lovely spray of silk flowers, flanked at either end with pretty tapers in gold-toned pinecone holders.

I’m sharing my cozy Winter tablescape over at Susan’s lovely blog, Between Naps on the Porch, where she is quickly closing in on the 800th week (yes – nearly 800 weeks!) of Tablescape Thursday! Be sure to click through for much more tablescape inspiration!
And finally here’s an image to pin in case you’d like to return to this post for ideas later on.

So pretty! (And cozy.) I love every element. The color scheme is classic and I love the place setting / napkin, as well as the sheet for a tablecloth!
I use that flannel sheet as a throw on my couch when it’s not on the table! 😀
