Some of my favorite Thanksgiving decorating ideas

I can't believe how quickly the holidays come and go. I feel like Thanksgiving comes before I even have time to think about decorating, so I made it a point to get on the ball early this year. Here are some decorating ideas and Thanksgiving decor I'm liking:


Greenery as centerpieces.  Sage in Ball jars make the tablescape look fresh.


I tend to like seasonal decor in unorthodox colors, and the amount of white in this Thanksgiving set up rally caught my eye.  I especially like the way they've set up the sideboard with yummy deserts on display.




Check out the pretty felt leaves as a table runner in light blue.

Stamped napkins are a nice and personal little touch.

How do you plan on decorating this Thanksgiving?

A charming Edwardian-vintage

This South London home is challenging the idea of quintessential British design by mixing eclectic, modern, classic, and vintage furnishings and finds.

This might just be my favorite room so far this year.  So beautiful.


I'm always drawn to simple white bathrooms

check out the bins built in to the back of the chairs...

Have a beautiful weekend!

We've had a rare few days here in Maryland with little humidity, which makes the 80 degree temperatures and sunshine super pleasant. Hopefully the weather where you are is beautiful too. Have a great weekend!

A home with simple beauty and understated elegance

It's hard to pull off humble/simple and elegant, but I think this home was successful. Check it out:

eclectic objects add warmth

dark purple is always chic

love how the books are displayed!

a spacious hall with a picture ledge


inspiration simply tacked on the wall keeps the space from being stuffy - and it's so cool how the images extend into the next room

fab. architectural elements







What do you think of this Australian home?

Welcome weekend! These warm and peaceful living rooms will inspire you - some Christmas inspiration too!

I definitely tend to go for Christmas decorations that aren't the typical green and red

I adore the chandelier contrasted with the rough walls. This is actually the Jayson Home and Garden store. PS- if you like Jayson Home and Garden Gilt is having a sale on their accessories.

Beautiful chairs
Great ottoman too - providing the fur is faux...

Even if your fireplace is non-working you can still create a cozy fire with a grouping of pillar candles. BTW - this is a real home -not staged or professionally decorated.

I want to wish you all a really wonderful holiday and I hope you get to spend time and laughs with you loved ones!
