Today it’s all about How Setting a pretty table for Thanksgiving.
Is your table set for Thanksgiving?I will be working on ours today. I thought I would revisit a post I did last year that was very helpful for me in setting our table for Thanksgiving.
I love finding ideas on Pinterest and incorporating them into my decorating style. This year we are having a few more people, so I need to make a few adjustments.
For the most part our table should look pretty similar to this photo. I love the plates. They’re from Pier One Imports. We purchased them last year using “blog money.” My mom gave me the red glasses a few years ago and they go nicely with the leaves on the dishes. The glasses are very old and so pretty.
The glass pumpkins are from Yankee Candle from a few years ago. You can put a small tealight candle inside and they look really pretty at night when we sit around the table again for dessert. I always set up a drink table in the corner of our dinning room. I like to try and keep my kitchen counters uncluttered.
Tips for Setting the Table
This is a great idea using white pumpkins and simple berry twigs from Emmalee Elizabeth Design…
Here’s a cute idea for a kid’s table I found on Pinterest
I love this idea from Green Door Hospitality…
THIS is the post I got the idea from for using our old shelves from our bookcases for our dinning room table. I keep the shelves on the table year round now.
I love this from Blooming Homestead…
I love this idea also from The Idea Room…
Another box idea from Far Above Rubies…
What a pretty idea from Sand and Sisal…
Pretty dishes from Country Living…
Simple pumpkins make an impact from The Glamorous Housewife…

These settings are lovely, but I’d like to ask a question that I have pondered forever. I enjoy a beautiful table as much as anyone, but ….what do you do when it is time to eat???? Do you move EVERYTHING? If I take time to set the table I don’t want to move it every time we eat. We eat three meals a day, every day and I do not want to remove it at each meal. Is there an option for a beautiful table that accommodates the meal. Obviously, it would not be as extravagant as these, but is there any options? The only thought I had was to do something on a tray. I’m open for suggestions.
Well…this is a special table setting because it’s Thanksgiving. I always serve the Thanksgiving meal buffet style because we have so many people at our table. For regular daily meals, we use our kitchen table and I do have a small centerpiece that I remove to place the serving bowls of food in the middle of the table. Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the comment!
SO many gorgeous ideas!
