Part of my preparations for my Thanksgiving workshops this week is creating a table setting and centerpiece. I wanted it to feel real. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm getting a little tired of overly staged and styled 'tablescapes' with their stacks of crowded props, and too tall and too massive of centerpieces. I thought, "If I went to the Barefoot Contessa or Martha Stewart's (circa 1996) house for Thanksgiving, what would it look like?" It would be decidedly classic, simple, and traditional.
My style is not traditional in an old world, dusty fashion, but in a clean, modern approach. Does that make any sense at all?
I made this rose, mum and broom cob arrangement, using a pumpkin as a vase. We've all seen this a thousand times, but I think it is so perfect for Thanksgiving, that I just had to do my own version.

Also, I included a velvet and linen pillow in the head chairs for a little extra luxury.

Happy Thanksgiving Planning!
