Simple Thanksgiving Centerpiece using natural items.

With Thanksgiving less than two weeks away it’s time to start planning the table settings and centerpieces. We’re hosting at our house this year and will have about 20 family members. It’ll be a full house with enough food for an army!

We’ll have tables set up in a couple of areas and today I’m showing what our small breakfast room table will look like.

For the centerpiece I placed some small white pumpkins on top of a grapevine wreath. I filled in the empty spaces with acorns, pine cones, and dried hydrangeas.

I just refinished the table a couple of weeks ago. It was your typical 80’s oak table and was in desperate need of a facelift. And we replaced our old chairs with these new sturdier, up-to-date ones from World Market.

The centerpiece was something I put together on a whim but I really do like it.

  1. Beautiful table, Angie! I love your dishes and especially love the way you tied the silverware together with a ribbon. It looks so nice!

    I'm taking a similar table to the lake that my grandfather bought for me for my college apartment. It's stained oak. Will you be sharing the details on how you painted your table? I know mine needs a makeover!

    1. Thanks Paula! Yes, I'll be sharing what I did to the table in the next couple of weeks. It took longer than I had anticipated (story of my life) but it looks 100% better!
