Happy Thanksgiving

It's my favorite holiday of the year, and a chance to relish fantastic tablescapes. Here's one from the Monkey Flower Group made of twig trees, acorns and sweetgum seedpods that's simple and chic, just how I like em. Happy Thanksgiving!

Inspired Dining by Design

The 2010 DIFFA Dining by Design event produced some pretty amazing tables. Check em' out.

 This has gotta be my favorite. It was done by students at the New York School of Interior Design, and created entirely out of recyclable or repurposed materials.

Cindy Crawford hosted the event, certainly to push her line of home accessories at J C Penny. Her table actually looks quite nice though, if overtly simple.

UnCommon Table

A modern and unexpected idea for a table setting from fashion label Commonwealth Utilities' dinner party. Gold lacquered picnic tables matched with golden tanks, toy soldiers and gold candelabras. It's sophisticated and elegant, but still a little rugged.

Touch of Fall

I discovered this lovely table setting over at High Street Market, the blog of Interior Designer Kelly Robson. (She also has a great Etsy shop) It doesn't scream fall, but it evokes that subtle feeling in the decorative elements, the colors and the fabric. Very elegant, but not stuffy. Well done.

And here's another subtle fall display by Eddie Ross. I'm mad for these white pumpkins.
