Thanksgiving Table Inspiration

Somehow Thanksgiving has snuck up on on us once again. So, I figured I'd pause for a little holiday inspiration.

This setting might be completely un-realistic, but how awesome would it be to eat Thanksgiving dinner in this perfect outdoor setting?

If you're planning an indoor dinner (duh), I love this simple white table setting from Martha Stewart.

On the other hand,  I'm always inspired by Eddie Ross' table-scapes.   This Thanksgiving table he did for Lonny a few years back is outstanding.  I love the mix of patterns,  the rich gold accessories, and the contrast of the orange flowers and blue glasses.

If Eddie's eclectic traditional look isn't your vibe, you can always stick to basic black and whites.

And, if all else fails,  pull out the gilded spraypaint and gild some pumpkins and dried corn.

Instant Style: Navy Sofa + Eclectic Glamour

Remember the "instant" room from last week?  Well if  you got bored of that more classic look, check out how quickly you could mix it up by just replacing the rug and accessories.

The pieces:

Brass arch mirrors (on sale for $69 at World Market) - I love two of these mirrors paired together over the sofa or a console table

Blue and white cheetah lumbar pillow ($165 at Society Social)

Antique brass pharmacy lamp ($190 at Lamps Plus)

Navy pink and white batik pillow ($185 at Amber Interiors) - With the hot pink accent pillow is the perfect mix of global and modern glamour.

Navy performance velvet sofa ($1,099 at West Elm)

Tufted yellow linen chair ($1,698 at Anthropologie)

Multi-color flat woven turkish rug ($800 at Furbish)

Natural stump side table ($159 at West Elm)

Instant Style: The Blues

A lot of people are scared to buy saturated furniture pieces, and then end up with the same beige sofa and chair set in their living room. Don't be afraid of buying big furniture pieces in color!  As long as something is a classic shape, in a color you like, you can always make it work. 
Here is my first example:  a navy blue sofa.  Look #1 is a pretty simple/classic living room with a variety of blue shades.

 The pieces:

Blue & White mixed pattern pillows ($45 on Etsy)

Grey-Blue sheer window curtains ($15 at Target)

Tufted yellow linen chair ($1,698 at Anthropologie)

Natural stump side table ($159 at West Elm)

Multi-color bird migration abstract ($130 at ImageKind)

Tonal blue stripe rug ($320 at Lulu and Georgia)

Navy performance velvet sofa ($1,099 at West Elm)

Zara Home - Finally in the US!

Have you heard that the good folks at Zarahave finally allowed the US access to their trendy home store?  I've loved visiting Zara Home stores in Europe & Mexico, and I'm stoked that they now have a web store.   The prices aren't quite  as affordable as they are abroad, but Zara Home still offers some great deals on super trendy and unique pieces.

They have a great mix of classic/hotel style bedding(my favorite) and some really fun colorful options.  How pretty is this cozy neutral bedroom from the Zara Home catalog?    

 I love this rustic bathroom vingette and want to get my hands on those pretty glass containers for my cotton balls etc. 

Just in time for the holidays, they also have a great selection of glassware!      

 Happy shopping!
