A Perfect Setting: Guy Fieri
For a holiday table inspired by Guy Fieri, Food Network design director Wendy Waxman used a mix of different metals. True to Guy's signature style, the setting is modern, masculine, fun and festive.

Wendy's Design Tips
To relect Guy's pragmatic sensibility, Wendy started with an aluminum work table for his setting. She imagines him clearing everything off it for a big holiday meal, then using it the day after for other household projects. Since Guy always wears watches and jewelry, Wendy used napkin holders from Michael Wainwright's Truro collection.
If you don't feel like spending a lot of money on new items to top your table, look around your house for anything that's sparkly or has caché. In order to balance out the other heavier metals on the table, Wendy used foil ornaments from Mr. Pink.
To reflect Guy's funky, eclectic style, Wendy mixed up stacks of four different plates (Barrington, Monterey, Sheffield and Manhattan) from Michael Wainwright's collection. As an ode to vintage metal, Wendy used Dirilyte flatware, salt and pepper shakers and serving utensils she found at a New York City flea market, but suggests checking Ebay for similar items.
