Lee is a big proponent of using what you've got—something Odell values as well. "I like that my mother sits down to see her own mother's china," she says. Lee turned glass votive holders into saltcellars for an instant table upgrade; the reverse side of unused business cards shows guests their places. A runner made of scattered lemon leaves is unexpected, affordable, and lush. Or try sprigs of aromatic rosemary and thyme. "The real thing is always more beautiful than the artificial," says Lee. |
