Winter-washed Nautical Tablescape

I think a snowy white nautical inspired tablescape would be perfect for the winter months.  Gray seersucker placemats would provide the perfect backdrop for richly textured dishes and natural driftwood.  A light wooden table with chunky legs would ground all the accessories and provide an inviting warmth as it gets chillier and chillier each day.

Monochromatic Tablescape

As soon as I saw this HGTV tablescape, I knew I had to recreate it.  I love the black and white monochromatic color scheme with accents of metallics.  Natural pumpkins and glittery gourds look so chic when paired with whites and blacks.  This table has such a festive look and could easily transfer from Thanksgiving to Christmas by simply switching out the pumpkins and gourds for ornaments and bulbs. I've found some pieces below to help recreate this look but have tailored it for Christmas by using ball shaped ornaments instead of gourds.  I'd love to hear what you think about this look!

Autumn Drink Buckets

Whether used for wedding receptions or tailgates, drink buckets are a must this fall.  I love the idea of filling rustic galvanized containers to the brim with ice and cold beer. Wine bottles look chic in an old wheel barrow, while a pumpkin sliced in half and cleaned out provides the perfect container for 12 oz. bottles.  Great ideas for any fall event!
