I am so excited to be sharing this simple farmhouse thanksgiving tablescape with you guys today! I worked with Balsam Hill on this project and I love how it turned out because it’s so simple and I feel like this holiday season that is where my heart is. My brain has been quite chaotic these past few months from miscarrying, being busy with work, & just working on the house in general so going simple for the holidays especially because we are hosting this Thanksgiving was very much needed & dear to my heart. When I first started planning this post I picked out the apple spice garland from Balsam Hill & I had some plans to make an eclectic centerpiece with it with candlesticks & more, but after getting the garland in the mail & draping it on our harvest table I thought that the garland really spoke for itself…
After laying the garland on the center of the table I knew right away that I didn’t need to add anything else. I loved how simple and welcoming the garland was on its own & the laid back vibe it gave. I really started to think that when our guests came into our home this Thanksgiving how uncomplicated our thanksgiving decor will be and how we can focus on each other more than the decor in the room. More time to sit and say what we are thankful for all the things? We will see! I loved that the garland looked like items we could pick up off our farm which felt really natural to our decor. For a little simple DIY that fits in with the garland I made some apple name tags with some local farm apples and garden tags with our guests names on them. That’s it, all the glassware, silverware, & napkins will be in a buffet style the day of to keep things comfortable & customizable to each guests need. & let’s just face it… we are casual people so no need to be too fancy. Cozy & casual… just how we like it!!
Here is a little video we put together today as we put the table together…
Sometimes Thanksgiving tablescapes can be grand, fancy, and and more intriquite, but sometimes a simple garland is so beautiful that it speaks for itself & it let’s you be your best casual laid back self.

Love the colors and how they pop. Your table looks beautiful in that space!
Love the apples for a Thanksgiving table, different,lovely, and the smell of apple, will make anyone hungry.
love your fall table. I have been looking back at your post and wondering were you got those pillows in your video. Please let me know if you don’t mind. Again love visiting your blog daily!
Although pretty, I wouldn’t say simple as the garland seems to overpower the table and eat up valuable table space.
A bowl of pretty apples or vase containing seasonal flowers/stems of leaves wearing their brilliant autumn colors and 2 candlesticks in the center, flanked by a turkey & ham and all the yummy sides and whatnot spells simple to me.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday with the focus on bountiful good food, good company and good conversation.
Perhaps my being more than twice as old as you also has something to do with it. 🙂
Wishing you & yours a wonderful Thanksgiving, a multitude of blessings, and a brilliant coming year!
Simple and beautiful, I love your table!!!
I love to see you embracing Nov. I love the fall and blogland or not, Thanksgiving needs it’s place before Christmas. I am fighting the urge too not to start Christmas too soon, but fall??
So beautiful and so simple!!!! Love this Liz!
