Neutral Thanksgiving Tablescape

THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE

This was my Thanksgiving tablescape two years ago.  I went all neutrals, a little tired of all of the oranges and reds.  Right now I can hardly imagine styling a Thanksgiving table with all of these neutral colors, but in 2017 it just seemed perfect.  Isn’t it interesting how our styles and preferences change over the years?  It was this pair of wood pilgrims that started this whole neutral thing, and I still love them and put them on display  in my home this time of year.

I am so proud to be associated with this wonderful group of bloggers who are joining me again this week for a tablescape blog hop.  This week all of us will be sharing our interpretation of a Thanksgiving tablescape.  I hope you have the time to visit each of the bloggers and see what a creative bunch they are!Neutral Fall Tablescape

I spotted this gorgeous table runner at Home Goods and knew immediately that my Thanksgiving table would be a statement in neutrals.  The colors are grays and tan and that ever popular “greige” .

The extra needlework and beading detail on the runner make it so special.  After seeing this, I thought I could enhance some other runners in the same way.  Neutral Fall TablescapeNeutral Fall Tablescape

My place settings are rather simple.  A charger with a worn look to it, topped with gray plates from Ikea and salad plates which are depression glass handed down from my grandmother to my mother, and now to me. Neutral Fall TablescapeFlatware is from the Cowgirl Lace pattern from The Pioneer Woman.  My pilgrim couple were from Home Goods and made a nice focal point for my table without covering up too much of my beautiful runner.Neutral Fall Tablescape

Stemware are a pair of goblets, the gray ones I featured in my Headless Horseman Halloween table, and the others are Marquis by Waterford Brookside pattern.   These are my go-to wine or water goblets and can be seen at any number of my tablescapes.  The crystal glistens in the light.Neutral Fall Tablescape

  8. This is what I love about the tablescape blog hops. I never would have thought about doing a Thanksgiving table in these neutral grays, but you can bet I would now. I also love the table runner, and those pilgrims are adorable. I really like the use of the glass plates as they really had a sparkle and texture to the place settings. So pretty 🙂

The bows on the napkins are perfect with this color combination. I am enjoying all of your blogging friends’ tables. I plan to look at all of them.

I take it your sideboard is new and it is gorgeous, I love it. thanks again my friend, for your inspiration.

  12. This is lovely Chloe! The neutrals are relaxing and elegantly displayed. The pilgrims are a great addition to the table and are very unique. Is the napkin ring an actual napkin ring or s bow that you tied? It all works together beautifully. Thank you for bringing us together again for this blog hop. You are appreciated♥

  13. Chloe, the linen and dishes are gorgeous, playing together like a symphony.

Your tablescape is so awesome the way everything coordinates and comes together so well. The table runner is amazing and I see why you had to buy it! I have the same Marquis goblets and love them. So much inspiration here and I know from the others sharing!

  15. You’ve coordinated everything wonderfully with that fabulous table runner! And all the colours seem to blend perfectly with your dining room including the beautiful sideboard. I really like that pilgrim couple which is a unique centerpiece and like you said , doesn’t cover up too much of the runner.
