Log Slice Chalkboard
Need a last minute Thanksgiving project?
LOG SLICE + CHALKBOARD PAINT = CUTE EASY DECOR
I painted the chalkboard paint on the unstained side of the log pieces I used at my wedding reception (3 years ago today!), but you can find log slices in different sizes at Hobby Lobby.
Perfect way to display your Thanksgiving menu!
Do you have any easy Thanksgiving decorating ideas?
My Nature Inspired Thanksgiving Table- Take 2
Since it's Thanksgiving table setting week I thought I would mix up my own decor and show you another option. I used some of the same items as I did on my nature inspired table but also added a few new things.
To add a little more color to the place setting I cut strips of some small print green fabric I already had and layered them on top of the placemats.
I found these free Thanksgiving print outs at Coordinately Yours. They make for a great activity for your guests to write down what they are thankful for.
For the centerpiece I filled a Lenox Butler's Pantry serving bowl with pine cones and placed it on one of the magnolia leaves placemats I made. For this table setting I turned the placemat over to show the brighter side of the leaves.
I love these mattress springs too much to not include them again! This time I set them on log pieces that were apart of our wedding reception centerpieces.
Thanksgiving Table Inspiration- Industrial Modern
Day three of Thanksgiving decor week features industrial modern dinnerware. Mixed metals, smokey grays, warm wood tones, and blueprint inspired kraft paper placemats all make for a less traditional table setting that your modern family will love!
My Nature Inspired Thanksgiving Table
Like I mentioned yesterday, I am sharing Thanksgiving table setting ideas this week. Today's table is my own nature inspired table setting. I used things I was given, already had, and found in nature to create this look.
My favorite thing about this table setting is the cotton centerpiece I arranged in an Anthropologie vase! I have my dad to thank for the cotton!
The candle holders are reclaimed mattress springs from an old mattress my grandparents had. Thanks Monnie and Papa for giving me a few of the springs! I love the rustic industrial touch they add to the table.
To dress up the simple glasses I tied some acorns around the base with twine.
Of course I had to add a little Thanksgiving themed element.
For the two end seats I decided to make the place mats out of magnolia leaves. I cut a circle out of cardboard and hot glued the leaves so they would overlap in a circle.
I continued the magnolia leaves down the center of the table in a trail to the centerpiece.
The grapevine wreath is recycled from my wedding and works perfectly around the cake stand.
These chair covers are a recent DIY project that I made from a drop cloth. They were really simple to make. I started by cutting the pieces that cover the backs of the chairs. Next I draped the cut pieces over the chair backs and adjusted until I had the correct length. I then hemmed the edges and added hemmed drop cloth stripes on either side to tie the sides together around the chair.
How are you decorating for Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving Table Inspiration- Western Tribal
Thanksgiving is coming up soon so I thought I would share table setting ideas this week to help inspire you with your own Thanksgiving dinner table decor.
Day one of Thanksgiving inspiration week is inspired by a rising trend, tribal. I choose pieces with subtle western tribal elements.
Thanksgiving centerpiece inspiration
If you are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner this year, don't forget a gorgeous centerpiece!
Don't worry, it doesn't have to be complicated or elaborate to look good.
Just get a fallish bouquet of flowers, and instead of using a regular vase, use a carved out pumpkin! Real or fake!
These examples would all be stunning focal points for your Thanksgiving feast!
