Creating a fall tablescape is easy and inexpensive if you use what you already have on hand.
Join me for 7 days of tips on how to bring it all together.
NOTE: These 7 tips were published a couple of years ago, but if you're looking for ideas, you'll see these again here on LMDH, three a day and one on Thanksgiving morning to help you decorate this year too.
Drag out all your decor you have stored around the house - stick it all in a pile on your kitchen table and play around with it!
You'd be surprised at what you an come up with.
Grab a candle stick here, a basket there, see what you can put together and then
And there ya go...
You have a super fancy tablescape unlike any other!
Serving Bowl, Coffee Beans & a Candle
Here I put together a plain serving bowl that is a pedestal dish and filled it with coffee beans and set a candle in the middle of it. Easy peasey, right?
I got the glass dish years ago at a garage sale for $.25, and the candle at the day after Christmas sale at Michaels for $2.00. Coffee beans were a special blend at Walmart clearanced for $3.00/bag.
Now, I suggest you don't burn the candle, since I've heard that the coffee beans are very flammable (That's my disclaimer!). I put it in a candle holder before setting it into the beans just in case I want to light it.
I don't know about you, but I get a little tired of the typical candle on a candlestick look.
Be sure to add a bit of color nearby to draw out the color of your candle.
Thanks for visiting.
What are you planning for your Thanksgiving table?
Blessings,
This is just lovely, and so simple. I rarely think of pulling together a few things I already have and creating something new. I’m going to keep that in mind the next time I want to perk up a little around here. Sometimes the smallest changes can make a huge impact.
Congratulations on being featured on Wake-Up Wednesday.

Thanks, Lauren! I like simple AND inexpensive.
