From Barnyard to Farmhouse
Grab a few large wood slices, pinecones and copper pumpkins to recreate this barnyard-to-farmhouse masterpiece. It's a simple, stress-free design and everything but the pumpkins can be re-used for other seasons.
Sweet Traditions
During the Great Depression, families substituted expensive gifts with the tangy, tropical treat of the orange. Now, it's a sweet reminder to be thankful for what we have before us, and a unique way to spruce up a fall tablescape.
Awash in Amber
Give your fall tablescape a traditional Thanksgiving glow-up with amber stemware and fresh gourds from the farm. Gather all your warm-toned plates, napkins and tablecloths for this look.

Glam Wonderland
This glamorous design definitely got its beauty sleep! With a little spray paint, some faux pumpkins and antlers, you can glitz up your fall tablescape like it was born that way.
Blue, Bold and Orange
Complementary colors, like blue and orange, always make a stunning decor statement. This look is really successful when paired with neutral base colors derived from a natural palette.
Pretty in Pastel
If your table's on the smaller side, don't worry. You can still make a big statement with your decor. Pair white dishes and tablecloths with pastel colors to highlight the sugary-sweetness of your cozy tablescape.
Simple as Copper
This fall tablescape is perfect for the farmhouse minimalist. Instead of glasses, use copper mugs. Replace placemats with eclectic wood boards. Then, add a few greens and candles for a sweet barnyard afterglow.
Rustic Meets Charming
Fluffy faux fur, mixed 'n matched seating and a leafy garland dripping off the table? Yes, please! This table looks full and vibrant with just a few statement pieces.
Gather the Gourds
With this design, replace your table runner with a rustic wood bowl full of seasonal greens, antique candlesticks and fresh gourds. Then when Christmas rolls around, you can switch out the pumpkins for cranberry clusters.
A Homey Feel
With this friendly dining room, even the walls set the tone. Add a small, decorative pumpkin to each place setting with a bit of greenery for that final touch of warmth and natural beauty.
Elegant Neutrals
Let texture shine with a neutral color scheme. The wash on the candlestick holders and the woven textures on the faux pumpkin lend a sense of elegance and warmth.
In 2015, I followed a string of sunshine and spun myself a cozy home in LA. I always planned on returning to my Oregon roots, but the opportunities in LA are so diverse and plentiful, I just had to stay.From interior design to popular home appliances, I’ve gone on a few adventures. My overall philosophy is simple: I believe we’re meant to explore. Even when sitting still, our minds go scrolling through Instagram, visit our favorite TV shows, remember old curiosities. Strong, creative writing diverts our attention from the beaten path to find something new.
