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!!

That is so pretty! I may have to go on the hunt for that table runner today.

Looks great, girl. Love the runner with the gold pumpkins.Maybe gold chargers?
ReplyDeleteLove the table, Megan! I told my grandma we need to spray paint some pumpkins metallic this year because one of my favorite bloggers did it (: Thanks for featuring this, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteLove 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?
ReplyDeleteLove this idea.
ReplyDeleteThe oranges, browns and reds every year for 'Thanksgiving Decor' start to seem a little blinding. The blue is definitely a 'refreshment' :)
Love the table, Megan! And my favorite is that it is different than the usual fall-colors, but is still totally fall-ish!
