Thanksgiving Table Settings 2011

This year I am inspired by so many different Thanksgiving table styles that I am not sure which to choose.  Here are some of my favorite photos that I have found so far this season of Thanksgiving...

I love the idea of a rustic, outdoor Thanksgiving table...

Another favorite of mine would be a beach inspired Thanksgiving setting...

I love the the different table runners in this photo...

Succulents make a lovely floral display on this table...

I love the cool colors here...simple and classic...

Check out this table cloth...I have never seen anything like it and find it fabulous!  I also like the bench on one side of the table...

I thought this was a sweet way to display a place setting...

A pop of blue combined with orange is a great combination and not used traditionally on Thanksgiving but I think it should be!

I love this Eddie Ross table.  To see all of the details that went into designing it click here.

Another table by Eddie Ross...

I love the bold patterns and colors here...

There is something about this photo I find extremely beautiful...I think it is a combination of the colors with the extraordinary hydrangea arrangement in the center...

Look at the table runner in this photo...love it!

And of course we can't forget our kids...

All photo credits can be found here.  Have good night and happy planning for your Thanksgiving feast!

Coastal Christmas Trees and Linen Tree Skirts

This year I will be honest...my tree looks like a three-year-old decorated it because, well, my three-year-old did decorate it! So in lieu of a perfectly decorated tree sitting in my living room (although I must say I love that her little hands hung all of the ornaments), I found these beach inspired Christmas trees that absolutely warm my heart. I also saw a few cute tree skirts in linen, wicker and burlap that I thought I would share as well. In the future I would love to have a linen tree skirt in cream...if only I could sew. :)

So first for the trees. Here are my top picks from Coastal Living:

And Better Homes and Gardens...

And Southern Living...

And from Martha Stewart....

Here are the tree skirts in linen, wicker and burlap...

And how cool is this wicker tree skirt from Terrain that I saw on the Remodelista?
