I was ever so happy with my tabletop this Thanksgiving!So many of the ideas will translate just as wellfor any upcoming tabletop festivities!
This holiday seasonI am using mainly neutrals with organic accentsso I really wanted a tablecloth with some texture and depth of color.I found my perfect solution in the fabric store!I opted for a high quality felt that can even be washed!I am in love with the color and textureand even betterthere was no sewing involved!
Each year I like to add another element or layer to my tabletopto freshen things up.This year I knew I wanted to add some copper color to my neutrals.Moscow Mule cups did the trick!On the table this year they were water cupsbut we have all kinds of cocktail ideasas well as being perfect serving cups for our seasonal eggnog!
This year these cups are just calling out for holiday parties!I found these beauties at Crate and Barrel this season.
I added three extra large candles to my drift woodandfinished them all off with olive branches for a simple and organic centerpiece.
One of my favorite things about our family's Thanksgiving traditionis that my husband and daughterdo all of the cookingso I have plenty of prep time for the table!I actually start the set up almost the week beforeso I have plenty of time to enjoy the layering process!Then on the day ofI freshen the dishes and glassesand layer in the natural elements,
I once again used tiny easels and chalk boards for place cards this year.
I sprinkled in some whimsy with ceramic salt and pepper shakersatop differing boards all around the table.Functional and fun!
I am so in love with these vintage napkins that we found in Auburn California for a song at their antique market!
I ended up ever so pleased with my table!Adding in new elements each yeargives new life to my collections of white dishes.
Just like in the art of dressingadding and changing up accessories can make for a whole new look for your basic building blocks!Whether it be a wardrobe or tabletop!
As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
