Thanksgiving Tabletop Decorating Elements


thanksgiving tabletop decorating elements


Luckily I have a stepdad who has an abundance of cow skulls and horns lying around ...and because my mom doesn't want "dead animals" in her house, I get them all ;) Thanks Barry!



cow skull



I'll be using my DIY Holiday Tablecloth as a base and possibly the ikat blanket {details below} as a runner, with these vintage tarnished silver candlesticks. Love.

Couleur Nature Kantha Throw in Multi -IkAt- available on GILT NOW! - the link is for the pink one but if you see below where it says "You Would Also Love" & they show it in my multi-color and oranges

I actually ordered a blue and white Ikat throw for our Master Bedroom but this one came instead. I was going to send it back but laid it over the bench in our dining room and it sort of tied all the colors from our Living Room together ...and I kinda fell in love. Like I said above, I'll either use it on the table in the center or keep it on the bench.

kitchen table


plum leaf placemats+beige lace tablecloth+kitchen tabletop elements


Plum leaf placemats from Bed Bath and Beyond $1.99 each over a vintage beige lace remnant. Possibly using these leaf napkins from Crate & Barrel {link: closest match - bought last year} with my DIY rope napkin rings


leaf napkins+rope napkin holders+white pumpkins

...is always a bit more fun/cute

{see Halloween kitchen table here - compared with my Halloween dining room table here}






a few outdoor elements



White Poinsettias and pumpkins+outdoor thanksgiving decor

* I purposely bought my Halloween pumpkins late in October so I could use them for Thanksgiving decorating as well ...sitting next to pretty White Poinsettias in white pots.

fall wreath+thanksgiving wreath

...and a festive fall wreath on the front door.



The husband and I are finishing up hanging the Christmas lights today ...and we keep adding more sections of the house and running out of lights -he's out getting a few more sets now. I think when we finally finish and turn them all on, I'm going to feel like the Griswolds. Here's hoping they all work ;)

Gorgeous!! I love the idea of the horns + the little white pumpkins!

When I was walking through World Market the other day, looking at all of their table/kitchen things, I decided that I would like a job in which I just make tablescapes for people. I think it might not happen, but a girl can dream, right? :)
