Setting the Perfect Holiday Table

HomeGoods Fall Post 22

The air is crisp, the leaves become as beautiful as flowers and as we say it in the South “It’s Fall y’all!”  First I grab a quintessential Pumpkin Spice Latte, head to my local HomeGoods and then get to work decorating for my favorite time of year.  Having a colorful home can sometimes make it difficult when it comes to Holiday décor.  What some may see as a challenge, I see as a chance to embrace the beauty of white and metallic shades.  Pairing these stunning neutrals creates such a sophisticated and elegant display.  These intricate velvet and linen pumpkins by LoveFeast Shop are the perfect touch to create chic elegance.

With every new season comes the chance to create a unique tablescape for Holiday dinners.  When planning a tablescape, always first consider the company.  For this event we are having an adult Fall dinner party.  Therefore, china and linens are appropriate as well as the opportunity to create an elegant display.  These fun, colorful salad plates from HomeGoods add my signature splash of color to an overall neutral table setting.

One of the most important “rules” of tablescaping for a dinner party is to design around conversation.  Using décor that is too tall or large prevents flow of conversation.  Keep décor low or narrow enough to prevent it from getting moved around during the evening.  It’s also important to create a comfortable environment with ample space for guests around their table setting.  You want your company to feel they can move around and have space for drinks and extra plates.

When it comes to putting together a stunning centerpiece, my main design tip is to vary heights and sizes in your décor.  These tall, thin candle holders from HomeGoods add height which creates interest and draws the eye around the table.  Varying textures and colors, even between neutrals, also creates depth to your display.  I love the juxtaposition of combining velvet pumpkins from LoveFeast Shop with more rough and rustic wood tones from HomeGoods.  Mixing natural elements like moss with fancier textiles also adds a little spice to a classic arrangement.

And finally, don’t forget to think outside the box.  What looks like a standard placemat simply turned vertically can completely change up the look of a tablescape.  The overhang over the sides of the table gives it more of a tablecloth effect without all of the fabric.  Looking for a unique centerpiece?  Take a wreath and top it with a pumpkin or other large object.  This rustic vine wreath created a fun and rustic pumpkin holder that added height and interest to the display.  Wish you had napkin holders for every Holiday?  These simple and inexpensive napkin rings have simply a leaf glued on top that can easily be changed each season.  The leaves were cut from a floral garland used in another room of the home.  And finally, do the unexpected.  Rather than simply having a set of plates or even topping the setting with a napkin, add something fun.  These metallic pumpkins add a whimsical touch to each place setting in an otherwise elegant display.

As I always say, the only journeys and experiences As I always say, the only journeys and experiences I can… and do… share are that of my own. And today it’s last week’s journey of my explant, lift and recovery. As someone who was “born” with big boobs, had implants to fill what I’d lost to weight loss and nursing to now having explanted to a much smaller size, I’ve been happy with every step along the way. It’s all been what I had or felt I needed or wanted at each stage of life and I’m not one to ever look back and have regrets. It’s just that at this stage of life, I decided the next step for me was to shed some chest. And kind of a lot of it. From a size 32G to a yet to be fully determined 32B-C! To be super honest, the pondering and deciding was by the far the longest and hardest part. With no direct reason for doing so (thankfully)… rather a combination of them from possible health issues 🤞🏻 associated with my implants to the usual back/shoulder pain to just a growing desire to get them out, I’ve felt a bit indecisive and very nervous. But last week I finally did it and I’m so happy I did! Women have so many worries and pressures and insecurities so if this has been on your pondering list as well, I’m just here to tell you that it wasn’t that bad. Any body change takes some getting used to but not gonna lie, shedding that top heavy feeling has been rather fabulous. And the cute little tops and bras I can now wear feel like icing on the cake! So from your always raw and honest IG bestie, thank y’all so much for following along and for all of the love and well wishes on stories. Means the WORLD 🫶🏻
Forget drenching your hands with straight acetone… and the hour and a half SNS process… try this and you’ll never go back! Yep, it’s the “old school” tips method but with your own nails. Takes so much less time and although still not exactly CLEAN, it’s way better than an acetone hand bath every two weeks. Plus, they’re actually much smoother too!

Where did you find the drapery hardware in your ba Where did you find the drapery hardware in your bathroom?... what about your bedroom?... living room? It’s all @kirsch and it’s all STUNNING! Scale is everything in design and sometimes the biggest “misses” are in the details. With a huge assortment of difficult to find, thick rods, substantial finials and beautiful rings, as you can see something as “simple” as drapery hardware can absolutely MAKE a space.
