Today, I’m playing “Thanksgiving hostess” and setting up a little table to hopefully give you some fresh ideas for your own. (The twins thought I had set it up for their breakfast. Poor kids. . .) I knew I wanted to use rich, deep colors and landed on a non-traditional navy and plum combination.
I used my blue and white plates and some fun cabbage leaf placemats. I could only come up with four plastic chargers (I should get more) but it’s just enough “plum” to give the table some unexpected color. (The chargers are those inexpensive plastic ones that I spray painted for this tablescape.)
For my centerpiece, I used a grouping of these taper candle holders and made simple little floral arrangements in milk glass goblets. I used cabbages, wisteria (from the yard) and a little red cabbage (from the fridge), taking a color cue from the chargers.
I also set up a small serving station on the chest in the corner. To add more Fall color, I popped a mum in a planter that I already had.

I can’t believe those cabbage placemats are faux, they look so real! Beautiful color combo and I think I need some of those candlesticks now!
And poor little twins… let them eat their lunch there now. ;)
Of course! ;)
Something pretty is exactly what I needed this morning! Thank you for the tangible inspiration! I am excited to try this out on my Thanksgiving table!
Oh! 2 other thoughts. These candle holders were on sale at my target! $5-$6 each! And, what color did you paint the chargers? So pretty!
I searched all over my garage and can’t find that spray paint can. I’m thinking it was a Valspar color…
Thanks for searching! Found the napkins and chargers today. Might actually be ready for thanksgiving ahead of time this year!
Love everything about this!
BEAUTIFUL! I love the color scheme!
I thought for sure those cabbage leaves were real! They would be so cute for Easter, too! I love everything and I adore that artwork. She’s been on my list for a while :)
That’s what I thought when I bought them. Cabbage for every season! :)
Ok! This makes me REALLy excited about a full kitchen reveal. :)
Love the placemats and Janet Hill , shes the man!!!
I’m a fan of Janet Hill too. I need that print. You did such a beautiful job here <3
I love that you incorporated the cabbage leaf placemats in your tablescape! Anyone living in the Charlotte area can purchase them at Brass Exchange Home in the Arboretum Shopping Center.
Beautiful! I love the color combination!
Ok, stop it with those cabbage placemats!!! So adorable and unexpected! Love them!
