Debbie Wiener's Thanksgiving Feast for the Eyes (And Other Tasty Treats)
What a warm way to greet the holiday – with an authentic Arts and Crafts setting that includes a vintage mantel, a surround using Motawi Tileworks, and William Morris fabric on the windows. “It couldn’t look Arts and Crafts. It had to be Arts and Crafts,” Designer Debbie Wiener says of the directive she was given.
The look is all the more delicious, considering what her clients gave her to start with:
Debbie’s beautiful Thanksgiving greeting on the mantel whetted my appetite for more fabulous Thanksgiving décor, because this is a holiday that can get pretty kitschy, pretty fast.
Let’s start with Eddie Ross, a stylist and flea-market guru, who just blogged about his own Thanksgiving table. The setting glows with casual elegance.
The details of his table show off his finds from past flea markets and antique shops.
Eddie also blogged about how to make an Indian corn centerpiece. Do I really have to tell you he used to work for Martha Stewart?
Next up is HGTV, which is always brimming with creative home décor ideas, especially when it comes to the holidays. They’ve got some great tabletop inspiration this year.
My dining room will never look like the ones above, but just gazing at these pictures puts me in the right mood. This table below from Martha Stewart, moreover, makes me smile. Its pale colors and airy centerpiece would surely act as a digestive to all those heavy foods we’re going to eat.
Getting back to the fall colors, Martha also offers this room for consumption. I love all the cascading red and purple grapes.
Country Living, too, has some yummy ideas. The outdoor table (which is actually intended for kids) is completely unrealistic for our part of the country, but it makes for a nice fantasy.
So, wherever your Thanksgiving table is or what will be on it, we all wish you a warm and fruitful holiday, and we’ll see you next week.
