Thanksgiving Table - Blue and Brown Together

Next year, we are adding built-ins to our dining room. The china cabinet and table are going. My goal was to find a table that sits 10 in this smallish room. We found a table but I will tell you more about that later.

This Thanksgiving, I wanted to incorporate blues and yellows in the traditional brown color theme. 

Start with this old tool box filled with hydrangeas, grasses, fiddlehead ferns and dried pods. It is long but the new table can handle it. 

My favorite addition of this beautiful crewel table runner and matching napkins both from Pottery Barn. The rich colors gives you a wide variety of color choices. 

Pewter chargers and place cards are such a traditional Thanksgiving look, especially with my Turkey place card holders.

My Spode Woodland china combined with blue Portmierion plates 




or these blue berry plates. If you don't have enough of one plate you can add others if they are in the same color. 

Wood candles in these pretty lanterns.

Twisty flatware to add more texture.

A rustic but elegant table for the family. My Thanksgiving Menu is done and here. I am also joining Susan and I am sure she has some of the greatest Thanksgiving tables on her linky party.
