I've been invited to set the tablescape for our annual friends' Christmas Dinner. The host has a gorgeous house that looks like an authentic cabin,  yet is in Southern California. Below are pictures of his party last year.

The dining room is adjacent to the living room.

The tablescape I'm considering rests on a fur blanket I love. I want it to be different, cabin-like, and woodsy. Do you think the faux fur is too strange? 

Here are some mock-up pictures. LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK.  Too odd?  Too much?

Giselle napkin rings or plain brown?

Black plates are in the dishwasher in this picture. The coasters hold the wine glasses steady. The rattan chargers half on the blanket and half off will have little feet holding the non-blanket side level. Hope that makes sense.

I haven't linked up with the wonderful bloggers on Between Naps on the Porch for a loooong time, so I hope I'm doing it correctly.

Please give me feedback!  Thanks, CJ
