Can we talk about how it doesn't feel like November yet? I mean, it DOES in the sense that our yard gets covered in fresh fallen leaves every other day, but in terms of time passing, it should be Labor Day. Halloween got here at breakneck speed this year and I know it'll be Thanksgiving before we know what happened. Even though it's still the beginning of the month, I want to eyeball some pretty fall and Turkey Day ideas in the spirit of planning ahead. (You won't sneak up on me this time, Pilgrims.)
As far as seasonal decor goes, I'm Team Minimal. It's not that I don't like having a festive house, but I'm not the kind of gal to go around putting ceramic turkeys in every room. (If that's your jam, you do you! I just prefer items that blend a little more with my everyday pieces.) My favorite ways to jazz things up for fall are to use pumpkins and woodland tones, so I focused on that here. I was expecting the gilded pumpkin place cards to be my siren song today, but I'm really loving the wood slice wreath. The "I'm thankful for" placemats are handy, too, because I always seem to forget one or two things on my list as everybody goes around the table. All of these qualify for the seasonal decor trifecta: festive, simple, and easy to store. A couple of things like the place cards and placemats could even go home with your guests, so that's less to worry about keeping around for another year.
So how are you decorating for fall and/or Thanksgiving? Do you like more minimal pieces, too? What's your favorite thing here? -Paige

I love all of your picks, and giving them to your guests after dinner to take home is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is yet another holiday we don't have over here. But I guess some of those decor ideas can be used for other holidays too! Great round up :)
ReplyDeleteI love that wood wreath! Love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I'm also into minimal and easy-to-store. My favorite is the placemat - but I also love that Hello wooden wreath.
ReplyDeleteThe acorns!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...minimalist when it comes to season/holiday decor.
ReplyDeleteI love those paper feathers and the tree slice! These would be great all year long!
I am minimalist too. I LIKE sort of an "antique apothecary farmhouse" type of fall decor..creams and black and feathers and leaves.. I HAVE sort of a oops I have no time to decorate fall decor! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to holiday decor, I'm on team minimal, too - not neccessarily for lack of desire to decorate but because of a lack of space. Where do people store all of those certamic hearts/jack-o-lanterns/turkeys/santas? That's what I want to know! Thanksgiving has already passed here in Canada but I'm filing away the I'm thankful for placement idea ofr next year, it's so lovely and clever, too!
