A Modern Thanksgiving

What are you most thankful for? If you’re not a complete Scrooge, you graciously ponder this question no matter how many times you’ve been asked in a day. Many of us answer this question around the Thanksgiving table and express gratitude for our families, friends, and of course, the massive feast soon to commence. But how often do we really appreciate and express thankfulness for our home? True, in this day in age, shelter is nearly a given; a basic necessity. However, our homes do much more than just shelter us: they comfort us, unite us, inspire us, and give us space to express ourselves. This Thanksgiving season let’s give our homes some credit by showing how much they do for us! Whether you’re providing food for your army of an extended family or just intimately dining with a few loved ones, you can provide the perfect setting to create an ambiance abundant in love, peace, warmth, and all the joyous sentiments brought by this season of Thanksgiving. Enjoy!


 Fall leaves, a beautiful site to see outside why not bring them inside! Glass vases are simple and can be used for other occasions. Give you a pop of color and brings the outside in!


 Such a great idea! Take real pumpkins and tape off certain areas and paint them. A modern twist on decorating for Thanksgiving!


 Modern version of a Thanksgiving Cornucopia Horn.  Instead use square vases and fill will grapes and other items that typically are in a horn. Gives you warm Thanksgiving feeling without being too over the top!


 Candles set the mood for any great occasion, so why not here with your closest family and friends. Add handmade menus to each place-setting for a more formal, restaurant like table.


Hurricanes wrapped in different color craft paper. This is a great mantle decoration or a table-scape. Just make sure the paper is not too close to the candle. Or better yet, use flame-less candles then you don't have to worry!
