Thanksgiving Table Inspiration

When I came across this Thanksgiving table post on Camille Styles last week, I just about fell out of my chair.  I was floored by the chic, sophisticated and modern approach to Thanksgiving decor that McKenzie Powell took instead of the traditional, heavy Thanksgiving tablescapes that come to mind when I envision the holiday.  The gorgeous fall florals and orange tapers are just enough to keep the table warm and inviting, while the glass candlesticks, geometric napkins and hint of gold keep the look fresh and modern.  Bravo!  Our team is celebrating Thanksgiving together next Monday and here is my inspiration board for our own table modeled after McKenzie’s rendition (with my own little twist) of course 🙂

 

  • Vibrant fall florals arranged by yours truly as seen here.
  • Glass candlesticks from CB2.
  • Obsessed with this gorgeous (and massive) wishbone.  LOVE!
  • Gold rimmed glassware.  Swoon!
  • Gold chargers beneath modern white china.
  • Greek key fabric for napkins.
  • Love these gold mercury glass votives from one of my favorite sources – Jayson Home.

What will your Thanksgiving table look like?

NYC Design High

Before 2011, I had never been to New York which seems crazy to me now that I’ve been fortunate to have ventured there a few times since… AND LOVE IT!  From the architecture to the hustle and bustle to the food and the people – nothing compares to it.  There is something new around every corner and I always leave heartbroken that I have to go home so soon.  On a recent visit, a friend of mine took me on a tour around ABC Carpet & Home and I about died.  GAH!  I could go on and on about how obsessed I was with everything in sight, but I’ll spare you from my design high rant and just show you the pictures instead 🙂

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, it absolutely pains me to think of so much of that city under water and the number of people left to start over from scratch.  A few of my favorite artists and designers are doing everything in their power to help.  Be sure to take a look below.
