This table is basically the Nature’s Bounty table from Thanksgiving, turned into a Christmas table. I think quail are pretty similar to partridges and I had both pears and bowls with pears on them, so I had to do a little visual nod to the classic Christmas carol. To convert the table from Thanksgiving toContinue reading “And A Partridge in a Pear Tree”

Ralph Lauren Christmas Table
Apparently, this is the look of the season, so, of course, I had to give it a whirl. I had everything in the photos, except for the brass deer. I started with a blue oxford tablecloth (that was made years ago from a Ralph Lauren flat sheet) and topped it with a Pendleton wool throwContinue reading “Ralph Lauren Christmas Table”
Nature’s Bounty Thanksgiving Table
Last year I bought some really interesting quail figurines off of eBay to use on my Thanksgiving table. I’m repeating this theme, but with a few changes. I started with the natural linen tablecloth, which is a great base. I added my quail, pheasant feathers in a gorgeous silver plated art nouveau vase, elk antler,Continue reading “Nature’s Bounty Thanksgiving Table”
The Kids Table
I have a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving tablecloth that I bought from the Pottery Barn outlet a LONG time ago when my kids were little (and they’re now 24 and almost 28.) This was the start of this tablescape. It is a natural unbleached cotton cloth with wonderful applique work including turkeys and trees. It is aContinue reading “The Kids Table”
Non-Traditional Colorway Thanksgiving Table
I found some Mikasa Accent “Tropicana” dinner plates and dessert bowls at the thrift store and just loved the pattern and I have 4 different tablecloths that have similar colors as this pattern and would go beautifully with them, so I got on ebay and etsy and found 6 chop plates to use as serviceContinue reading “Non-Traditional Colorway Thanksgiving Table”
Thanksgiving Table–Woodland theme
If you’ve been following along, you know that my husband made me some oak log rounds that I like to use for tablescapes and so I used them for this table. I used some really cool quail figurines, a pitcher of pheasant feathers and a brass centerpiece bowl full of pinecones. For the place settings,Continue reading “Thanksgiving Table–Woodland theme”
Naturally Neutral Thanksgiving
This is a low key version of a Thanksgiving table that avoids all the vivid orange, red, and yellow. I set 3 log slices down the center of the table and on those, I put a gray vase of dried lunaria that I picked back in the summer, and two wood look turkeys. The placesContinue reading “Naturally Neutral Thanksgiving”
Fall Fiesta
We had our oldest, his fiancee, and some of his teammates at our house for The Head of the Hooch last weekend. On Saturday, they expected to be late and some people thought they might be back earlier than others, so I planned to do chicken burrito bowls. I wanted to do a tablescape thatContinue reading “Fall Fiesta”
Bright and Cheerful Thanksgiving
Many of the colors that we associate with Thanksgiving decorations are browned down versions of yellow (ochre), Orange (rust or russet), and Red (maroon). This table uses clear bright tones of these same base colors along with a hefty dose of blue. The inspiration for the table was the Villeroy and Boch Bonjour Madame saladContinue reading “Bright and Cheerful Thanksgiving”
Spooky Halloween Table
I found a bunch of pieces of Independence “Millbrook” dishes at a couple of stores and somehow, the pattern reminds me of Tim Burton’s work, so of course I had to do a Halloween table with them. I started with a white tablecloth and a pretty fall shawl with lots of Halloween colors in it.Continue reading “Spooky Halloween Table”
