Just In Time For Fall, We Found The Easiest Way To Elevate Your Tablescape
Now that Alison Roman's highly anticipated cookbook Nothing Fancy is taking over the front tables at bookstores everywhere, it's official: Fall entertaining season is upon us. However, hosting a gathering — whether it's a casual dinner party or a formal Thanksgiving meal — doesn't have to be a stress-inducing ordeal. After all, as Roman would say, "It's not entertaining. It's having people over."
