Every day we gather around the table with family, sometimes friends. Once or twice a year we make that act a tradition.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and setting the table has become apart of that tradition for me. With the help of West Elm, gathering around the table this year will be a little more special!

It all starts with the perfect color scheme and

a little whimsy and fun, like this all natural farm fresh cotton centerpiece.

Mix that will a  traditional pieces like white platters and the table starts to come together.

When I decided to add my mothers goldware to the table it immediately reminded me of childhood holiday dinners that makes these moments special.

As much as I believe in something old, something new and fresh is a ways a needed at your table! After adding these salad plates from the West Elm Market the table immediate became alive and meaningful.

Sometimes all takes is to fall in love with one piece to inspire an entire table.

Finishing the table with accents like votive, cake plates, placeholders and whimsy items like these fun pinecone salt and pepper shakers from West Elm adds some interest to the table.

  2. You have an amazing eye! I love this… definitely taking a few pointers from you since I’m hosting my very first Christmas this year in my teeny tiny apartment.

  3. Love this! Went to West Elm this weekend and bought goldware and the black greeting plates. What is that gorgeous gold glittery thingy under the black plate! LOL!

  6. Adore your table setting Destiny! Especially love the juxtaposition of the natural elements with the modern gold touches. Last week I ordered some cotton stems to use on our Christmas tree this year. Thought it would give it a nice pop of white. Happy to have discovered your blog. Happy Thanksgiving!

  7. I found this beautiful table via DIY show off and an so glad i did! It is gorgeous. The gold netting you placed between the plates adds such a neat touch. What did you use? Of course, your mom’s flatware is the “everything”. How blessed you are. Plan to take a look around the rest of your blog on this lazy Sunday and expecting more goodness. hope God blesses your day.

    1. Its the gold netting you use on trees! ha! I just cut it up:0) I love how it turned out!!! Thanks so much for visiting!

  8. I somehow found your blog today and so glad I did!
    I don’t see those black “Welcome Home” plates you used for your Thanksgiving table on West Elm. Is that only a seasonal item?
    Thank you!

  9. Are those black plates you used just a seasonal item that West Elm sells? I love those and would love to purchase some for our next Thanksgiving:)
