Hi CasaSugar,
After a very long eight weeks, I'm moving into my new duplex as a first-time homeowner! I'm really excited about having so much freedom to decorate my place however I see fit. But, I'm having a hard time with one room.
This Sur La Table Turkey Votive Holder ($10) is the perfect way to light up your table this Thanksgiving. Its bronze finish will go with any décor, and you can use it throughout the remainder of the fall. It would also make a great hostess gift.
If you're dealing with dribbles when you water your Christmas tree, try this tip: simply use a turkey baster! This kitchen tool will help you to aim the water exactly where you want it. It'll also give you an excuse to use the baster outside of Thanksgiving dinner.
With all the cooking and entertaining we do during the holiday season, our countertops, along with the rest of our homes, take a beating. But, they’re pricey and tedious to replace (whether yours are Carrera marble or not) so it’s best to keep a few simple rules in mind when carving that turkey and whipping up those glasses of egg nog. First and foremost, you should follow any care instructions that came with your countertop, as each material requires different attention.
Now that the turkey has been stuffed, slow-cooked, and sliced into nice, juicy pieces, and the pumpkin pies are long gone, perhaps along with your guests, I thought I'd get the intel on your Thanksgiving décor. If you were a host this holiday, how did you decorate? Did you simply dress the dinner tables, or did other areas of your home undergo a festive facelift as well?
If your family is anything like mine at Thanksgiving, there are likely a few kids running underfoot who'd love a planned activity. That's why this Thanksgiving leaf garland is so perfect: it gives kids a meaningful task, and is a quick enough project that you can make it before turkey hits the table.
Here's What You'll Need
As much as I love a festive centerpiece, at my house, the Thanksgiving table is usually overflowing with dishes and a sizable turkey of course, leaving little room for decoration. So, tall taper candlesticks are a good ole standby with minimal footprint, which I like to liven up with cranberry garlands. How about you?Source
Will There Be a Centerpiece on Your Thanksgiving Table?
As the holidays approach, I've had festive dinner party décor on my mind. While some of you may want to get crafty with a paper wreath, others may prefer to keep the holiday kitsch to a minimum. I was impressed with this table setting in Samantha Who?
