Tablescapes: From Halloween to Thanksgiving

I love decorating our table for the Holidays, but you don't need to spend a lot of money on a variety of table decor for every holiday and every season.  Purchase the basics, and decorate around them.  I'm going to show you how to create simple and stylish Halloween and then Thanksgiving tablescape using a few basic items.

It's no secret how much I love World Market.  From their food items, to their jewelry, and of course their furniture and decor I'm a regular shopper.  

My most loved household items are my dining table and chairs, which of course I purchased from World Market about a year ago.  Our dining table is where we entertain visitors, and enjoy family meals most nights. 

These basic items that I'm going to show you can not only transform your table from Halloween to Fall, or Thanksgiving, but also (aside from the pumpkins) through to Christmas as well.  The colors and items are very versatile.

Basic items:

  • Table Runner: Brown Woven (from World Market)
  • Placemats: Red Pandan Square (from World Market)
  • Chargers: Fluted Silver (from World Market)
  • Napkin Rings: Hammered Silver (from World Market)
  • Candle Holder: Alto Metal Taper (from World Market)
  • Candles: Metallic Silver Taper (from World Market0
  • Napkins: Brown Woven (already owned)
  • Cake Stand with Dome (already owned)
  • Silver Glitter Pumpkins (already owned)

This is how these basic items come together.  The colors are perfect for every day dinner parties, not just for the holiday season.
