DIY Cozy Table for Two

How to DIY your own cozy dining spot for two

As retirees we don’t always stick to eating meals at the dinner table. Most nights we are plopped in front of the TV catching up on our newest binge watch. lol So a nice alternative for us is to change it up and move to our morning meditation spot and turn it into a cozy dinner for two.

Here are some suggestions and links to help you DIY your own spot.

  1. Cover your table with a tablecloth and it instantly begins the transformation. I used this one from Pottery Barn but any cotton or linen one will work.

  2. Bring out the dishes and layer them on a rattan charger. I use my chargers year round. Don't be afraid to mix and match your plates. The trick is to keep the color scheme and don’t be afraid of different prints.

  3. Use cloth napkins- I like these yellow cotton ones because they are a great price and wash well.

  4. Keep the food hot and simple. This was a chicken pot pie I made from Costco’s roast chicken. I cheated and used pie crust and crescent rolls for the top. Next time I’m going to pile on the carbs by using stuffing on the top!

  5. Add candles.. always candles. I usually use the battery operated ones.

  6. I like to have blankets available and cozy slippers too.

  7. Turn off the phones and tv and sit back and relax with your favorite person.
