Tracy - I bought a new table runner in a very cool burgundy/gold Indian print. The table and room needed color, and it looks great. I bought 2 of the largest burgundy table cloths and they were on sale for less than $7 each! I bought 8 matching napkins and 8 in a contrasting color, all for 1/2 price. Just in case I want to do something different, I bought 8 placemats and matching napkins in a color called "spice" and couldn't be happier. My tastes run to the warmer, deeper shades and this all ties in beautifully. Our table is huge but so are the chairs, so it really only seats 6 comfortably. On Christmas Eve, we had 9 people, so I had to set up the card table and had to rush out to buy a tablecloth for it at the last minute. Anyway, I'm no Martha Stewart, so this was especially fun for me.
Doug - good luck with the lab and kitty. You're a sweet guy and I'm betting your wife lets you get your way most of the time. :)
