Tartan Tablescape

Lately I've been loving all things plaid.  Cozy plaids in rich hues are the perfect transition between fall and winter.  I love the idea of using tartan for a tablescape.  Here are some of my favorite inspiration photographs.

Here's a few of my favorite plaid and wintery items for the table.  I'm seriously putting those salad plates on my Christmas list!

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!
