My Casual Chic Thanksgiving Table


Before I head back into the kitchen, I wanted to share some glimpses of our casual chic Thanksgiving table this year. In the images the table is set for four, but tomorrow it will be extended to seat a few more guests.



Contemporary patterns in greens, blues and browns are mixed and play off the Italian China. The yarn turkey place cards were made a few weeks back. I love how they look on the napkin by Pomegranate.



A gilded pheasant figurine, collection of colorful gourds and chartreuse vintage hobnail glass vase with white baby roses make fun centerpiece.



The pheasant figurine was found at a local consignment store for $12. I spray painted it gold - thank you Mr. Eddie Ross for the inspiration!

So beautiful! I love, love, love the china. It's gorgeous. Very, very chic. I recently was trying to get rid of some of my large pile of tableware but this makes me want to collect some more! Great job.
