Thanksgiving Table

This week's challenge on "Dare to Do It Yourself" is to decorate your Thanksgiving table. Since we were just out of town and are now preparing for company, I am going to have to "cheat" a bit on this one. It took me quite a long time to find the exact look I was going for.
We are not hosting Thanksgiving this year, but if we were, I would love for our table to look something like this:

I have a Kate Spade white and silver china set that I love and would want to highlight. This table decor would be perfect! I love how they spray painted different pumpkins and gourds with metallic paint and left the larger pumpkin white. I also love the unique and formal look with a splash of fall!

Burlap Wreath

5:20 PM Burlap, DIY Up-Do, Holiday No comments

My door (and entire porch) is lacking in the fall decor. Tomorrow night we have my husbands birthday party at our house in which we are expecting 30 people for the 2nd annual Chicken Wing Off (I will post pictures of the party). My front door needed some help...and quick! Last week, Abby sent me a photo of a burlap wreath she had seen at a craft store. I loved it (especially because I am loving burlap these days). This was one of the quickest, cheapest, and cutest projects I have done. It honestly took me less than 30 minutes to do. Here is how I did it....

Supplies:

1yd of burlap

1 metal wreath base

flowers or decor of your choice

1. Cut the burlap into strips (the strips depend on the size of metal wreath base you are using). Play around with different sizes to decide what size strips you want. Burlap makes such a mess so I always put a sheet under my burlap project (or just do all of the cutting outside).
