Time to play! Which glasses, dinnerware, and flatware would you choose from to set a simple, everyday dinner table? I’ll tell you which ones I’d pick…
- * Marta Barware
- * Caterer’s Dinner Set
- Industrial Chic Dinnerware Collection
- Café Glassware
- * Almoco Flatware
- Heath Ceramic Plates
- Cambridge Fiesta Flatware
- Dimpled Drinkware
- Charlemagne Flatware
- Vaken Glasses
* I love numbers 1, 2, and 5 together (though #9 is our actual everyday flatware).
Which ones would you choose?

1, 2 and 9 – although I would really choose a different flatware altogether…..love those glasses. I just bought Williams Sonoma Pantry white dish set for my every day and I LOVE them – heavy, white, all purpose and look great.
I’d choose 2, 5, and 8. Love that black flatware!
Well, I feel pretty stylish! I picked the same as you!
1, 2, & 9 :)
Yup. 2,5,8. I love the 1 glasses, but I think they might be too delicate for everyday especially at my house :)
I agree with your pics. Love the matte black silverware and the simple lines on the plates and glasses.
I like 6, 8 and 9.
The glasses remind me of a set we had when I was a kid, except they were amber tinted glass.
10, 9, 2. I love when you do these. :) They’re fun.
Although I had a hard time choosing between 10 & 8.
I think they’re fun too!
Ooh, I love 5, 6 and 8…I must have those dimpled glasses! I want to change my everyday dishes but am having a hard time getting rid of the PB ones we registered for when we got married. I feel like it would be wrong to sell them but we can’t possibly keep them and get new place settings. Oh, the decisions in life! ;)
I know. I feel the same way. Brandon and I were married in 2004, and we got our dishes and flatware as gifts. They’re nice and they’re still going strong, so I feel like I shouldn’t get rid of them just because I’m bored with them. I think it’s time to get new glasses soon though (ours are decade-old cheapies), and that will mix things up just enough to make me happy.
Oh, I’ll play! Actually, I would make the same choices you did: 1, 2, 5. Simple, clean, and stylish.
This is a fun play-a-long! I would pick 4, 6 & 7 . I love love love me some Heath Ceramics!!! Maybe one day I’ll be able to own some. ; ) Thanks!
Oooh Fun!!! 8,2 & 9 I love the dots on the glasses!!! But the glasses (1) are so simple and lovely! I WANT THEM!!! :)
Options 1,2 and 7 – I like simplicity and clean lines. Also, I love the handles for the flatware for 7 and wish I had registered for something like them.
I think I’d go with 2, 4 and probably 9. But I love 6 and 8, too.
well I am going to say 2, 4 and 9 only because that is practically what I have.
I have the great white from pottery barn that we use for both every day and then dress up for special occasions, and then a similar jelly jar type of glass from crate and barrel, and then a similar satin stainless flatware from crate and barrel as well. Has worked for us for the last 6 years, and is pretty much timeless!
Love this game! I’d pick 1, 2, and 9 but I’d want a few of 7 and 8 to mix in. Then I’d go crazy getting a variety of linens to totally change up the look depending on my mood.
I’d pick 2, 5 and 8. Love the simplicity with a little unexpected touch.
1,2, and 5. I would choose different flatwear, but 5 is the closest to the lines I like.
6,7 & 8… but they’re all wonderful!
1,2,9
those are my style
2, 1, 9
I agree with Tiffany. They seem to be the most like your style.
I would pick 6, 8 and 9. I like the color of the dishes and the texture of the glasses. I think it would make me happy to see them the end of the day.
That”s tough. I really like the silverware… or blackware haha.

i love number ten. i love the clear, black and grey altogether. i think every room at my house is in that color scheme.
I like 5, 6, and 10 :) I love pretend shopping!
I agree with Amy! 5, 6, and 10. However, the rims on those beautiful blue plates seem to call for wood-handled utensils.
It would be so fun to actually purchase what you wanted. Thank you for letting us dream, Nicole! My husband works for property development and over our 31 years of marriage he has always supplied us with extras the tenants discarded from their businesses. So while I’m grateful I still ponder what an entire table setting from my own preferences would look like. With pretend shopping there are never regrets!
2, 8 & 9. I love those glasses.
I would go with 3, 8, and 9 today… but I love to switch things up every once in a while so it might be 2,5,and 10 tomorrow…
1, 2 & 9.
5+6+8 = nice!
2, 4, and 9. Pretty similar to the items we received when we got married last year. We registered at Crate and Barrel but bought our glasses at Williams-Sonoma.
I guessed your picks correctly, yay!
I’m so glad you posted those lovely white plates, I have been searching for a set for months!
2, 8 and 9!
I’d choose 2, 4, and 9. We have Denby dishes right now in the Juice colors, so what we actually have is more similar to 6. I need to get some more classic drinking glasses; we have some from Crate and Barrel that are attractive but have very thin rims, and for some reason I just feel nervous about drinking out of them, as if I could accidentally take a bite out of the rim while taking a drink. Instead, I set the table with vintage glasses of all shapes and designs, including one Care Bear glass. Embarrassing but true.
1, 2, and 9 for sure! As much as I love pretty designs, I really don’t think you can go wrong with simple and clean.
OMG!!! I dream someday of owning a full set of dishes from Heath Ceramics. Though for now, I am quite happy with my pasta bowls and serving dishes. Please tell me I am not alone.
So since I am dream shopping (and we need to do this more often, hint hint), I would choose #1, #5, and #6.
2, 7 and 8, for a summer casual look!
I picked 3, 7 and 10…I might have gone with 1 on the glassware, too. I’m thinking bold here!
6, 8, and 9!
Fiestaware everytime! Made in WV and can handle everyday! Plus comes in beautiful colors. I need color on my table. :P
We have the Marta barware and I LOVE it! Super thin, but durable, and it keeps everything really cold. Plus, it holds up well in the dishwasher.
Nicole, could you maybe feature some stylish every day dinnerwear for a slightly lower budget? Like, just married and right out of college? I’d love to replace our yard sale mismatch with something stylish and versatile, i.e. plain but not TOO plain, just stylish—but haven’t found anything in our price range. You are so good at finding stuff!!
2, 9, and 10.
Love the choices. I really don’t think there’s a bad combination.
I have 6! In different colors, tho. Love them. 8 and 9 are perfect partners.
i’d do 6,7,8 or 2, 5, 4. and i see this outside in the fresh air on a harvest table sort of thing, al fresco!
1, 6 and 9! 2 is good too though.
I’d set my table with 2,4, and 9. Classic looks imho.
I thought the same thing! 6,7,8- Great for summer.
I have had the dimpled glasses for about 10 years- they have served me very well. I love the weight!
Thanks Nicole for the great choices/ideas.
BTW- has anyone owned or used the black flatware? I am curious how it wears. Does the black finish wear off or scratch with dishwasher use?
I love 2, 5, and 8. The stainless (shiny, not brushed) shows so many everyday spots, so I’d like to see how the black holds up. Those bubble glasses are fabulous! I’m going to have to check them out (our current everyday glasses don’t fit into the new house’s dishwasher well… note to self on things to check when purchasing future servingware and glasses).
I do love white plates…but I picked straight in a row…I choose 6, 7 and 8 !
1, 2 & 9 is pretty much how I set the table every night. We have Crate & Barrel’s Room Service dishes and cylindrical glasses found at all bog box stores (I also have kids, glasses need to be easily replaced without replacing the whole set). Makes it easy to have fun linens.
