Today I’m sharing how I decorated our fireplace mantel for fall! Truth be told, from the moment we finished our fireplace makeover, I have been dying to pull out my garlands from their storage bins, and decorate it for Christmas. But I’m practicing some self control, and am embracing the fall season by choosing to decorate my mantel for fall and not skip straight ahead to Christmas. I took a note from the colors I used in my Thanksgiving table this year to create this natural look using foraged branches with berries, a few faux stems, and of course mini white pumpkins! I love how this look came together, and am so glad I decided not to skip over decorating our mantel for fall this year.
Thanksgiving Tablescape | 2023
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Which would surprise most people who asked me as a young kid and expected to hear me say Christmas. I just loved when we would all come to gather around the table, extended family included. The table leaf would get brought up from the basement, and extra chairs were placed around the table, as we all would squeeze in to fit. I remember as a kid looking at the beautifully place settings, showing each of us we had a seat at the table, and somehow those everyday plates just looked a little fancier with the silverware placed next to it. Everything about the table said “you belong”, “I prepared this seat for you”, and even though I couldn’t put words to it back then, I still remember to this day how it made me feel. I think that’s why I love creating thanksgiving tablescapes so much today!

Come and see the softer side of fall.

It is crazy to think that we are just two short weeks away from Thanksgiving. I get giddy with excitement this time of year as I start to dream up ideas for my Thanksgiving table.

Lighting candles, using my inherited china set, as I set the table so each one of my family members knows they have a seat at the table.

Color is a great way to emphasize the mood you wish to create for your gathering, so today I’m sharing a round-up of different Thanksgiving Table Color Schemes, as we start to plan our Thanksgiving Tables.
