#HarvestCleaning: Prepping the Dinner Table

Starting to get your house decorated and set for Thanksgiving? When it comes to setting the table, there are a few ideas that can transform your dining area and get your friends and family in the holiday spirit:

 Color palette
Choose a color scheme as a starting point for your thanksgiving table. Chocolate brown or crisp white are two perfect palettes to start with that compliment some rooms but might not work for others. Play off of the colors you already have and find a warm palette to kickstart the holiday season!

Personalized seating
Create customized place cards with each guest’s name and tie them to mini pumpkins for a personal touch. It will spruce up the table and make your guests feel special.

Fall florals
Arrange a floral centerpiece this Thanksgiving that includes berries, mini pumpkins, and other warm-colored flowers like yellow, orange, and red.

Simple setting
Your Thanksgiving table doesn’t have to be over-the-top. Instead, pair a few subtle elements with a neutral-colored dish set that is simple yet elegant. For example, add red napkins to compliment your floral arrangement, and place gold wine glasses on the table. Add a neutral-colored running across the table and you’re set!

Add ribbon
This is one thing you can keep around all holiday season - large bows tied around each chair. It puts that final touch to the whole look and makes the room feel special.

#HarvestCleaning: 10 Easy Thanksgiving Decorations

Thanksgiving is just a week away, which means it’s time to decorate! Get festive for the holiday easily with these 10 simple, creative ideas:

  
Message board: We just love the idea of a message board to let your family write about what they are grateful for this year. Cut out colorful leaves and let your little ones write messages. Use thumb tacks to stick them on.

Candleholders: Swap out traditional candleholders for small plumbings and gourds. They will look expensive but are one of a kind!


Cornucopia: This is a must! Fill a cornucopia with small pumpkins and gourds as a dining room table centerpiece. The look will have your guests talking!

Harvest mantel: Decorate your mantel with harvest decor, such as pumpkins, festive plates, and small chalkboard for inspirational quotes.

Bottle display: Use clear bottles and fill them with seasonal berries. Place them on the window sill, a shelf, or table.

Feathered turkey: Create a feathered turkey glued together with scraps of colorful paper and write the things you are thankful for.

Harvest wreath: Don’t wait for Christmas to come around! Hang a “give thanks” wreath on your door to welcome guests on Thursday.

Thanksgiving card tray: Another way to show thanks this harvest season is to lay out little cards on a silver tray and let guests create their own sayings and designs.

Autumn stuffings: Stuff glass containers with beans, nuts, and other fall hues. Place on a copper tray for a metallic touch of sophistication.

Floral bucket: Add a colorful, seasonal arrangement to your table by placing a mix of deep-toned carnations, juniper branches, and plum-colored lilies.
