Novogratz Tablescape

Last week, the Novogratz family from Sixx Design shared their first tablescape with us, and this week they're back with another for your table setting inspiration and pleasure. In case you missed it, the Novogratz family agreed to style two adult tables and two kids' tables for the holiday season. The Novogratzes are also creating tablescapes for LilSugar, so check out the kids' tables as well.  And that's not all – at the end of month, we will round up all the tablescapes (plus some of our very own!) for a fun giveaway to win $1,000 to HomeGoods! Here's their second table for the grown-ups.

CasaSugar: What inspired this tablescape?

Cortney Novogratz: A visit from the grandparents, and it was raining outside, so the beautiful colors and the flowers and the candles made us feel transported, warm, and cozy!

CS: What’s your favorite piece that you used here?

CN: The serving tray is a favorite!

CS:  What’s your most memorable table setting from a Thanksgiving you’ve hosted or attended?

CN: A few years ago, Robert’s mother made a giant, molded chocolate turkey, and all of the kids feasted on it for dessert! (They also sell them at Costco!)

CS: How do you deal with a dinner where awkward or feuding family members are at the same table?

CN: We always offer a lot of wine with dinner, and that usually solves any problems!

To re-create the tablescape, start with a gorgeous, lush bouquet of organic roses. For the rest of the table elements, check out the widget below to assemble a similar look.

No one knows how to keep a home more kid-friendly and high on design than Bob and Cortney Novogratz! This month the stylish couple will be creating two adult tablescapes exclusively for CasaSugar and they enlisted their seven children — Wolfgang (Wolfie), 13, Tallulah and Bellamy, 12, Breaker, 9, Five and Holleder (Holly), 5, and Major, 20 months old — to inspire two children's tables for us! Their second candy-inspired design is below so pull up a high chair, grab a BPA-free plastic tumbler, and translate the Novogratz family's ideas into your own holiday table!

LilSugar: What was your inspiration?
The Novogratz Family: This table had a "sweets" theme going on. We took inspiration from all of the bright, bold colors of the mini cupcakes, which were all of the kids’ favorite treat.

LS: What is your favorite thing you added to your table?
The Novogratz Family: The 3-tiered antique silver serving piece with all of the mini cupcakes making it look even more festive.

LS: What about this table makes kids want to sit still during dinner?
The Novogratz Family: It features something they are dying for, the cupcakes, and it looks like a lot of fun, and our kids, or any kids, will be into that!

LS: Is a food fight ever appropriate?
The Novogratz Family: It's definitely a mother's nightmare, but it could turn out to be spontaneous and a fun moment that turns out to be one of her fondest memories. You never know!

Remember to check back next week for the second of Novogratz's holiday kids' tables (and Casa for the adult designs). At the end of month, we will round up both tot tablescapes (plus some of Lil' owns table designs) for a chance to win $1,000 to HomeGoods!

We're big fans of SIXX Design here at CasaSugar, so when the Novogratz family agreed to style two adult tables and two kids' tables for the holiday season, we were absolutely thrilled! The Novogratzes are also creating tablescapes for LilSugar, so check out the kids' table as well.  And that's not all – at the end of month we will round up both tablescapes and some of our very own designs for a chance to win $1,000 to HomeGoods! Here's their first table for the grown-ups.

CasaSugar:  What was your inspiration?

Cortney Novogratz: The beautiful, warm colors of Fall, and the sparkle of the sun that time of year.

CS: Why did you select these specific products?

CN: With a big family, we need everything on our table to be durable and fun. We use blue and white china because it is classic and elegant. Then we bring in other bright pops of color to give the table a little whimsy.

CS: What product do you feel completes the look?

CN: A good bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne. Both make the table and the eating experience festive!

CS: What was the most outrageous element you added to a tablescape for a dinner party?

CN: We had a faux pig with an apple in its mouth! Very dramatic!
