A few weeks ago the folks at Wayfair invited me and several other bloggers to participate in their Holiday Tablescape Challenge – of course I was game! The timing was perfect because I’ll be hosting Thanksgiving this year and it gave me the opportunity to plan ahead. As part of the challenge, Wayfair sent me 5 items that I selected from a list of 12 to incorporate in the table setting.
A custom table runner in a chevron pattern fabric by Robert Allen inspired the silver, brown and chartreuse color scheme and the contemporary feel I was envisioning. I love the more subtle interpretation of this classic pattern and the pop of chartreuse is really fun. It pattern plays so nicely with the unscripted cowhide rug. For additional visual interest, I also layered several other materials including rattan, bronze and metallic silver. I loved the way the table turned out!
Ten Strawberry Street Square 10″ Dinner Plates (topped with chartreuse napkins)
David Shaw Silverware Urban Retreat Deconstructed Bowl (used for the floral centerpiece)
Achla Goblet Vase (filled with liquid amber leaves and pheasant feathers)
David Shaw Silverware Urban Retreat Rectangular Platter (topped with white pumpkins)
Fleur-de-Lis Two Tier Plate Stand in Antique White from Mesa Home (perfect for pumpkin & red velvet cupcakes)
To follow the tablescape challenge, head to Wayfair’s blog or Holiday Challenge Pinterest board.
Happy holidays! (yep, I just said it!)
