The Bachelor Entertains

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
-Charlie Chaplin

Earlier this week, we looked over a few suggestions for the bachelor pad of a modern, artistic, fearless guy. I received a request for my thoughts on what the same sort might have on hand for entertaining and while not an interiors person, I am happy to stumble around clumsily in chairs and tables until we come to the china patterns; then we are back in my yard.

When it comes to masculine tables, my thoughts always return to this table of Campion Platt's at 2009's Dining by Design.

And this, by Marc Blackwell.

A couple of other rooms which, although grander than the nature of the request, are inspiring:
