This table setting playfully evokes the look of a country kitchen. The focus is earthenware: a cream-colored pasta bowl ($22) and beaded-edge dinner plate ($25), both Butler's Pantry by Lenox from Bloomingdale's (800-232-1854). Instead of resting on a place mat, these pieces of china sit on an antique barn board by Thomas Campbell for Old Wood Workshop ($70; 860-974-3622). Ralph Lauren's "Ajour" tablecloth ($145; 888-475-7674) and linen napkins from Williams-Sonoma ($96 for four; at select stores only) add earthy color. Sophisticated touches are Buccellati's sterling silver "Torchon" flatware, the recent re-release of a pattern from the 1930s ($975 for a five-piece setting; 212-308-2900), and a "Caroline" wineglass ($105) and old-fashioned glass ($82) from William Yeoward Crystal (800-818-8484).
