Today's Prescription: Dinnerware for the modern, casual family

If you are like many families today, you enjoy an easy, casual lifestyle where you want to enjoy the finer things in life without all the hassle. Pulling out the fine china sounds like a chore when you're juggling family and work responsibilities, right? Well, don't fret. You can still serve your meals (homemade or takeout) in style with Waterford's transitional Crossroads collection. This smart, fresh, contemporary dinnerware collection comes in steel or stone colors. Don't worry, it is dishwasher and microwave safe.

Use it daily, but don't be afraid to dress it up. With some crystal stemware, and platinum trimmed glass accent pieces like those available from Annieglass, you can surely set a fabulous table. Add some modern, graphic candlesticks from Nambe or Marquis by Waterford and you'll be ready to feast!
