MODERN THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE



One day until our Thanksgiving feast, and my table is already set! I may be a little excited. Creating a tablescape is my absolute favorite part of Thanksgiving ( well, second favorite to devouring all of the delicious food).

This year, I tried to use things that I mostly had on hand. I couple of Thanksgivings ago, my mom purchased some beautiful linen napkins from Pottery Barn. They weren't cheap, but I just HAD to have them. Therefore, I owe them several appearances on my table. I absolutely love the dark teal color, and really wanted to create a table around that color with hints of gold. 


I spray painted pumpkins with a metallic gold spray paint, which has to be the easiest project ever. It makes such an impact too! I purchased some brass candlesticks a couple of years ago at a thrift store, and this is my first time using them! Sometimes you just have to wait for the perfect time to pull things out, ya know? I also had a gold dotted burlap runner from a previous event I hosted. I purchased a set of salt and pepper shakers and a Threshold runner from Target. I put the final touches on the table with some greenery, roses and pheasant feathers. Now we are ready to stuff our faces!






I hand painted a small "say grace" print with water color. I think it may be a permanent framer for my dining room.




My favorite part of my Thanksgiving decor is the floating branch above the table. I found it on the side of the road while on a walk with my daughter. I strung it up with fishing line and commando hooks. I am really considering leaving it up and stringing "snow" from it for winter, so this may not be the last you see of it.








Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

  2. Thanks Melissa!!! Would you believe that I got that buffet on Craigslist for $150? It felt like the steal of the century!! I want to paint it with chalk paint, but it is in such great condition. I haven't had the nerve to do it yet! haha. Thanks for checking us out, and taking time to leave a comment. It means a lot to us!!
