Happy Monday to a short week! On Saturday we hosted our annual Pre-Thanksgiving party with friends. It’s always a big hit, everyone brings their favorite dish, the wine flows and we play fun games all night.
I wanted to set up a fun tablescape this year and being a
member of Lowe’s Creative Ideas Creators & Influencers team, I wanted to DIY most of it. I used spray paint, dropclothes, a glue gun and fake “lit” pillar candles to create the look. I love decorating for the holidays and I always like to create a new look every year. It’s hard sometimes to get inspiration. Lowe’s Creative Ideas website has a bunch of ideas and was so helpful when trying to figure out what I wanted my table to look like.

I used a glue gun to glue pinecones to ribbons and tied them to the backs of chairs. |
I used striped ribbon and fabric (from Ikea) I already owned to add a modern touch to my traditional dishware. |
Tying the striped ribbons onto the silverware was a fun touch. |
I bought a bag of typical holiday potpourri (with pinecones, artichokes and pears) and spray-painted them bronze. |
The dark wooden bowls, candlesticks & cake stand were all left over from my wedding. |
Hydrangeas are the perfect flower all year round. |
The tablecloth was just painter’s dropcloth from Lowe’s! |
More bronzed pinecones and striped ribbon adorn the buffet. |
I loved these fake pillar candles from Lowe’s, they had flicker to them, just like a real flame…but a safer alternative with curious lil’ ones at home 😉 |
