Why We Set The Table
From the very beginning, people and relationships have been what it's all about for us.
Inspired by moments that capture our senses and compel us to savor our surroundings, we are passionate about creating environments that bring people together! With an emphasis on interiors and entertaining, we make it easy to invite people into your everyday – to make life’s moments memorable. This is why we set the table.
Setting the table influences the tone and feeling people have about being together. But what we really love about setting the table is that it lets people know they're important enough for the extra effort and details. Whether your dining with family at the kitchen table or inviting guests into your home for the first time, the little details like good food and carefully selected dishware can leave a lasting impression.
It may sound a bit old-fashioned but we're big fans of weeknight family dinners around the table. These meals are rarely Emily Post approved soirees but they're intentional. A meal (often a simple casserole, crockpot roast or easy salad) is shared accompanied by conversation and always a lot of laughter. Creating this scene in your home doesn't have to be complicated, saving the family dinner is really simple. Put away the phones, turn off the tv and set the table. Invite your family into the process and they'll come to love the tradition too!
We adore casual dinners with family but there's something special about busting out the "good stuff" for dinner parties and celebratory moments. Dimming the lights, crafting the perfect playlist and displaying fresh flowers can set the mood for some of the best experiences life has to offer.
At Cape House, knowing we've played a part in helping you set the table for big celebrations and slower moments in between means so much to us. We're grateful to play a part in helping you craft a welcoming home.
