I’ve tried lots of different types of fabric placements, but they always lose their shape when I wash them. Ever since I first tried some lovely silver woven placements from Target, I’ve been a convert.

My favorites are the Chilewich placements, but they’re a little pricey. So I was ecstatic to find some greenish-gray ones on sale at Crateandbarrel.com for $5.95 each. At first I tried these beauties on the bar in the kitchen, but the green didn’t stand out:

So I moved them to the dining room table….perfect!

They clean up easily with just a damp cloth. For ground-in food or stains, I use the same vinegar-water solution that we use to clean the kitchen. Check out Chilewich.com to see a rainbow of placemat options. They also have rugs, purses, and all sorts of other inspiring stuff. Oh, the possibilities…

Do you have any favorite table accessories? We’d love to hear about them!

We were not paid or perk’d for this post; I just really love Chilewich!
