We are going to use the den in the basement for a lot of our holiday activities, so I have been on the lookout for some additional holiday decor while I have been out thrifting. Our oldest was here over Thanksgiving with his fiancee, and was talking about how he wouldn’t be able to decorateContinue reading “Thrifted Christmas”

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”
Neutral Fall Table
I have found some neat fall decor at the thrift store and I have a great natural linen tablecloth that I bought from Williams-Sonoma. (I have a wide table (42″) and it’s difficult to find cloths wide enough most places.) I also have some really cool neutral dishes that I have found at various thriftContinue reading “Neutral Fall Table”
