Your baking skills are pathetic. (Thanks for nothing, Nana.) But what you lack in taste you make up for in presentation.

The next time your delicacies need to shine, let Laura Davis Design Lab’s vintage dishware and linens do the impressing.

Everything the Plano designer creates is in good taste. Four stars to the cute single- and multitier cake stands made from antique chargers, plates, saucers, and candy dishes in pretty spring pastels.

She reworks vintage bedsheets with bold designs like latticework, abstract poppies, and colorful stripes into table linens (tea towels, cotton napkins, place mats). And makes aprons from the same funky fabrics.

But wear one only if you want credit (read: blame) for the pie.
