Whether for Valentine's or Galentine's, a beautiful table setting makes every gathering feel more festive.

[{"selector":"#anim-e7798e08-a094-4d0b-98c2-bc306b14a84d","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.15)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.985)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":480,"duration":1400,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] But it's nice to not have to run out and buy something new for every occasion, too.

For this table, I decided to take a roll of craft paper I had for my kids, one of their cheap paint brushes, and some black acrylic paint.

[{"selector":"#anim-23c72579-744c-4fe4-a2b9-7f18130efcaf","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.15)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.985)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":480,"duration":1400,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] I worked my way down the paper painting Xs & Os.

I loosely followed a pattern for this table runner but I think it could look great with a more random placement of the XOs and even more white space.

From there, I layered gold and purple accents for a little less expected color scheme next to the black and white.

For the centerpiece, I prefer a full floral arrangement. Feel free to pare it down.
