THANKSGIVING TABLE SCAPE



Thanksgiving is almost here! As you plan your holiday decorations take advantage of all the different shaped gourds. Consider placing them DIRECTLY on your table. Vary the color and shapes. Instead of using a table cloth, consider place mats or chargers and show off your table. Use coasters for under beverage glasses.
This is a tough one, but consider letting your table age gracefully like you would a leather sofa, ditch the padding and the cloth. Show off your table!
My clients will pay considerably more money to have me give them a distressed finish on custom work. You can do this yourself.
 For shiny pumpkins use Pam spray, polish with a dish cloth. If you are too nervous to put the gourds on the wood, use a table runner. Even if you are not hosting a dinner, create a table scape for you and your family to enjoy through the season.
