thanksgiving table inspiration

how is is possible that thanksgiving is next week?!

where (for REAL) did the time go? thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. not only is the food amazing (count me IN on ANY meal in which mashed potatoes is a must!), but i love that it is a time

to kick back, relax, be with family, and focus on our blessings. since we moved from the south, our little family has had thanksgiving by ourselves. it's a lot of work to cook an entire thanksgiving meal all by myself, but it's a chore i have come to love. 

however, after spending 2 days straight in the kitchen, i have found that i have no energy to make the table look pretty. i love looking at pictures of pretty tables, and fantasizing that maybe THIS year is the year i will not only cook thanksgiving dinner all by myself, but i ALSO manage to decorate a fiercely beautiful table....

here are some of my inspirations:

i really like the simple look and textures on this table. did you notice the subtle stripes on top of the burlap runner? SO pretty.

the herringbone napkins, bark chargers, faux bois textured plate, and gold silverware on this table setting are seriously making me weak in the knees. LOVE.

 a few of these homemade votives would look great...

i have a ton of branches in my yard, and vases like these are super easy to find.

 this table scape is sophisticated and simple. i like the mix of metallics.

 i have always loved the way these white tulips look against the aspen bark. so simple and monochromatic, with so much texture. 

i really like the orange roses and very traditional feel here.

 aren't the colors in this arrangement GORGEOUS? *sigh.

the orange and peach roses (my faves) look amazing with the bright green and deep purples.

 the soft green pumpkins are so pretty paired with the yellow gourds, orange pumpkins and other natural elements.

SO many pretty choices, so little time and motivation.

hmmm. if i start RIGHT now, i just might be able to pull something off.
