Even though we all can't have Erin Napier styling and decorating our homes, we can learn a lot of tricks and tips for creating a space that instantly feels like home that's full of unique charm just by watching HGTV's Home Town. And there's no better place to start than the table. Whether it's an eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, or an island with barstool seating, taking the extra step to decorate and set the table for everyday use will create a little extra home magic for you every time you walk past. Plus, as an added bonus you'll always be ready to receive guests. Here are 3 steps to achieve the signature Home Town look on your table: 1. Layer Your Dishes To achieve that signature Home Town look, it's all about creating layers, especially when it comes to your dishes. Start with a charger made from natural materials like wood or rattan. Then, stack your dinner plates from largest to smallest with the bowl resting on top. When it comes to selecting dishes to display, choose a dish pattern that reflects your personality. We're partial to these deep green, Jade pieces for something different and eye-catching. Your grandmother's china would also make a great choice. 2. Use Simple Glassware Pair statement dishes with simple glassware. You might not want to break out your fine china drinking glasses for everyday use, so pick something sturdy that won't tip over easily and won't distract from your other table elements. We suggest something like these Heavy Base Cooler Glasses for a classic look. 3. Create Texture with Linens Choose simple table runners that don't overwhelm the table. Neutral runners bring comfortable simplicity to your tablescape. And when it comes to cloth napkins, get creative with where you place them. You can fold them length wise and put them in between the stacked dishes, rest them under the dishes or beside the place setting, or roll them in a decorative napkin ring. 4. Finish With Something Fresh and Natural The finishing touch to achieve the Home Town look is to add a large vessel or a grouping of small vessels with natural elements like flowers, plants, branches, or fruit. Choose a large patterned bowl or planter, a vase, a pitcher, or small terracotta pots to set in the middle of the table and fill it with branches, plants or flowers from your own backyard. Getting the Home Town Look for your table isn't about going over-the-top with decor pieces or even adding every single dish or piece of silverware that's a part of your collection. It's about letting the pieces that are special and meaningful to you shine through in a way that invites you to sit and enjoy your meal without fuss or distraction. Above all, the Home Town Look is about creating spacing that you love that are unique to you! Shop this look

#ThankYouCaptain via #BYB I'm from Arizona. I'm not exactly a Yankee fan. Everybody is talking about Derek Jeter’s highlights; his walk off home run last night, the dive, the flip, five championship rings. I want to write about a ring he didn’t get. In 2001, the Arizona Diamondbacks became world champions. At the time the Yankees had won the “Fall Classic” 26 times, while my snakes had only existed for four years. 9/11 evoked strong emotions from me during that series but I was a hometown boy and at the time a bit of a Yankee hater. No one was walking away with our trophy. But during that series, before the bloop single by Luis Gonzalez in Game 7 and the great pitching by Randy Johnson, and Curt Schilling, there was Game 4. The clock struck midnight in extra innings and November had arrived, significant because the series had never been played that late. Just weeks before the stadiums in New York City were used to house dead bodies, victims of the greatest act of terrorism America and the world had ever seen. The Yankees were down two games to one and the game was do or die. The situation in some ways mirrored what New Yorkers and many across the country were feeling. To many, America was down and out. NYC had surely been knocked down. Baseball can sometimes reflect life and I like many felt it did that night. I remember Jeter’s at-bat in the bottom of the 10th for two reasons, because I was in shock and because I couldn’t be angry about the end result. Number 2’s 3-2 walk-off homerun lifted New York and lifted a nation. Down at the end of the game the boys picked themselves up and their leader, their shortstop sent them home and evened the series. The crowd at old Yankee stadium popped like Hulk Hogan had just come out to punch the Iron Sheik. It felt like the end of Return of the Jedi. I almost expected Ewoks to start dancing with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Derek Jeter was Luke Skywalker with Han Solo’s swagger. Talk about magic. Keith Olbermann and the media don’t get it now and probably didn’t get it then. They’re crapping on Derek Jeter because they think he’s “hurting” the team in 2014? Really? I wonder if they were watching last night. The guy’s special. He’s always there at special times when his team or fans needed him and he’s never given them a reason to be embarrassed. Mickey Mantle was a heavy drinker and Babe Ruth was a maniac. Jeter did his job like they did and the worst thing he’s ever done is maybe bang Mariah Carey. But he did it before Glitter, so what? Sure the Yankees lost that World Series but they won every home game and fought valiantly. That’s what Jeter is doing now by continuing to play the position he’s always played in his final season. He deserves it. I want to see Jeter go out on his shield, not on the bench. I remember that early November morning in 2001, shaking my head at a barrel cactus out front. I didn’t like losing but there wasn’t the bad aftertaste that usually came with defeat. I felt like Al Pacino in Donnie Brasco: “If it was gonna be anyone, I'm glad it was him.” Wolfgang Von Bunt BYB Staff Writer Twitter: @WVBunt You've made BYB the fastest growing Yankees fan site in history.
