Thanksgiving is so close you can almost taste the turkey and dressing.
Pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn casserole, broccoli with cheese and cranberry bread are on the menu.
If you are hosting Thanksgiving this year, getting the house ready can seem a little overwhelming.
No worries.
Here's a few simple tips for fluffing the house for Thanksgiving guests.
1. Shop the outside
Nature has so much to offer in the fall.
Collect leaves and twigs and pine cones and acorns and beautiful fall foliage and textures.
Then create a centerpiece to display on a rustic farmhouse table or sideboard.
2. Add vintage linens
Sometimes the smallest of details can make the biggest impact.
You can find vintage linens in a variety of colors and styles and you can collect different patterns for different looks.
Add a monogram to personalize your place settings at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
3. Add an unexpected color
Fall colors are typically reds and browns and oranges and cinnamon.
Why not add a little unexpected color to your table?
Here's an example of a blue fabric pillow added to the table setting. Adding a colorful chair cover to your dining chairs or bar stools is another way to dress up the table for the holiday.
4. Light it up
Sometimes the easiest way to fluff your space is to change out lighting.
Here, a chandelier with a drum shade is the perfect accent for the dining space.
New lighting for your kitchen or dining room will truly make the holidays shine.
Bring on the pumpkin pie.
Thanksgiving is here.
This year enjoy your guests and treat them to a warm and welcoming home.
