New Year's Eve dinner wants drama, and black linen gives it instantly. Gold chargers and gold-rimmed plates sit on the cloth, and six brass candlesticks are clustered at the center beside a low arrangement of white roses.
Small gold and clear ornaments are scattered across the cloth like confetti that has already landed.

- 1Gold chargers. Six, under gold-rimmed plates.
- 2Brass candlestick cluster. Six, ivory tapers, at the center.
- 3White roses. A low arrangement beside the candles.
- 4Scattered ornaments. Small gold and clear glass.
