Thanksgiving Guest Post: Honey We're Home

Hello! It's Megan from Honey We're Home. Having been a fan and follower of Ten June for some time now, I’m really flattered that she invited me to guest post on her blog today:)

Thanksgiving always gets me thinking about the Thanksgiving table. This year, I was inspired by the image below to create a tablescape using a modern gold and blue palette, instead of my usual red and orange tones.


I began by giving some pumpkins a quick coat of metallic gold spray paint. Here they are before:


And here they are after, along with some pale blue placemats from Target and our wedding china. 


 

I liked how it looked, but thought it needed a little more pizzaz, perhaps with some candles or fresh flowers. I ended up finding some glass candleholders and white candles at Hobby Lobby (50% off- yay!) and my friend Courtney (A Thoughtful Place) alerted me to a cloth runner at Cost Plus World Market. So this weekend, I changed the table to this: 



I love the “oomph” this floral runner gives to the table with its pretty mix of colors, but now I’m thinking maybe I should add charger plates and/or a light blue tablecloth underneath?? This table continues to evolve...  :) Hope it’s ready by Thanksgiving!!

Thanks for having me Michelle!!

  7. Love the addition of the runner! You can find multiple shades of chargers at Michaels...i went with a rose gold. Your pumpkins look great...which gold spray did you use?

  8. Love this idea.

    The oranges, browns and reds every year for 'Thanksgiving Decor' start to seem a little blinding. The blue is definitely a 'refreshment' :)

  9. Love the table, Megan! And my favorite is that it is different than the usual fall-colors, but is still totally fall-ish!
