Thanksgiving Tablescape Ideas

Hello on this brrry cold start to Thanksgiving week. How are you planning on staying warm this week? I am thinking of adding soup to my Thanksgiving menu! Speaking of menus, I am sharing some of my tips for some last minute, easy and affordable ways to deck out your table for the feast this Thursday. From sparkles, to metallics to flickering tea lights, these simple ideas will be wowing your guests!

Last night my roommates and I hosted our annual Friendsgiving. We usually spill out on to our porches, but since the weather didn’t cooperate, we borrowed some tables, rented chairs and table cloths and set up in our living room. My roommate Lara got all Pinteresty and spray painted little pumpkins and squashes with metallic spray paint. This is definitely a Pinterest project that is easy to execute and really elevates your table decor! Tip: Be sure to spray a day or two ahead of time, aka, do this today or tomorrow.

One trick we used at my birthday dinner laying out burlap as a table runner. So easy, very affordable, you can find this at any craft store for a few dollars. Lay out the burlap down the middle of the table, then place the decor on to burlap and voila! Gorgeous and simple table decor. Old wine bottles make great holders for sparkly branches. Insider tip: Most fall decor is on sale at stores, so grab some while they last! Use that left over spray paint to give old wine bottles some sheen.

The more bumps and lumps you can find on gourds, the more fun the are to use as centerpieces.

Serve water in glass bottles. You can find vintage ones like these at places like Homegoods for $2-$3 each. Talk about a bargain!

Canning jars make adorable holders for tea lights! From flickering and friendly to intimate and inviting, the little lights will draw everyone around the table!
