Set the Table:
A Gorgeous Linens Guide
Yes, your menu is important. But let's not forget that the way you dress your table is, in fact, your meal's first impression. With that in mind, we've set to work sourcing the most stylish linens on the market to suit any kitchen aesthetic--from French bistro with a nautical bent, à la Commune's Ticking Stripe Placemats, to block-print bourgeoise, in the manner of John Robshaw's Prarie Tablecloth. Drooling already? Scroll down for the napkins.
