Where can I find pictures of inspired dining room table settings?
I have an assortment of gorgeous fabrics and trim I bought to make table linens for my dining room. I would love to look at pictures (similar to these) of beautifully set tables to get some ideas on how to scale/layer runners, placemats, napkins and tablecloths and how to add accessories. Where should I look? Thanks for your help!

A really useful (and totally lame) search term that you may or may not know is "tablescape" for this kind of stuff.
Additionally, Sandra Lee, on her Food Network show Semi-Homemade Meals does a tablescape (and a cocktail) that fits the theme of every episode she makes. A lot of her stuff is an alternating really obnoxious and kind of neat, though, so you know. Hit and miss.

I have always gleaned excellent ideas from Apartment Therapy. I imagine if you did a basic search for table settings, you'd be overwhelmed with results.
I fnd that *cough*Martha Stewart*cough* also has a bevvy of unique and interesting ideas for table settings.

Try browsing a Google image search for wedding reception place settings.

There are 155 results and an option on your left to narrow the subject to Centerpieces, Runners, Napkins, et cetera.
After you select the 155 results link, I recommend choosing Date (Descending) in the Resort results by window. This will list the books most recently published.
I also checked Rizzoli searching for "table settings" and came up with these 2 books.
