Autumn tones are lovely for easing into the fall holidays!  Halloween is coming at us faster each year…and if you like to plan ahead it can be exciting to see all the color and spooky cuteness.  But if you love to savor the seasons, you can still get in on the fun in a more subtle way. You don’t have to go all orange & black to celebrate the holiday.  If you enjoy a more neutral palette I’d like to share some softer, sophisticated table ideas for your seasonal festivities!  Colors that can work throughout the entire season will help you tweak your decor from late summer right up to the Thanksgiving feast!  So let’s get some early “spooky” on and…

A neutral Christmas table is what I’ll be setting this year.  I’m feeling the need for simple and peaceful decorations in my home, and that will carry over to my tabletop! The wonderful thing about a casual table with a neutral palatte is that you might be able to use your everyday dishes!  I layered my plain plates with some natural decorations from around the house and created a festive tabletop that could compete with my fine china!  I’d like to share this simple inspiration with you today AND a fun Christmas Eve tradition! So let’s get to it today and set a holiday table!

Simple appetizers are so great for small gatherings and casual entertaining.  And I love to keep easy snacks on hand if we decide to have an impromptu get together with a neighbor or two!  Just because our gatherings these days are smaller doesn’t mean we can’t make them look lovely!  It can be so simple to style ANY kind of snack to create an inviting AND delicious table of nibbles!  The best way to do this is to shop your house for a few goodies to add color or texture to your table top.  And if you have any simple collections or decorative items you love, don’t be afraid to incorporate them.  Today I’m excited to share some ways I created an appetizer table with easy food and simple household items & decorations.  My motto is it never has to be fancy to be grand!  Just let your imagination lead you and you’ll style a festive snack that will let your personality shine!  Summer is in full swing…so set out a seasonal treat for your next little celebration!

A simple springtime table is what I’ll be setting this Mother’s Day weekend.  Even though we can’t celebrate with our extended families this year, it’s still a wonderful time to enjoy a dinner at home and rejoice in the new season!  It might seem extra daunting to set a pretty table with retailers still closed and stay-at-home orders still in place.  But not to worry!  We all have dishes in our cupboards already and with some goodies from around the house and/or yard…we can dress them up perfectly for any holiday!  Today I’m going to share a pretty way to style the tabletop just in time for Mother’s Day using simple items that I already own.  I hope it inspires you to take a peek at what you might have so you can set a lovely table and enjoy a meal with your family!  Let’s get to it…
