I am sharing this year’s fall tablescape for Thanksgiving along with a few of my blogging friends & their fall tablescape decorating ideas & all of their wonderfully creative Thanksgiving ideas!
My fall tablescape is a simple & easy diy to put together with lots & lots of pumpkins & farmhouse style.
Well, I abandoned my whole plan to keep things simple this year & embraced the whole palette of fall just outside my farmhouse window for my Thanksgiving table.

Whoops, I did it again :). Every year like clockwork, I turn to Jason & say, “this year I am not going to go crazy for Thanksgiving.”
He usually nods back & smiles.
Ha, he knows me too well!
Fall Tablescape Decorating Ideas

Fall Pumpkin Tablescape

I always have good intentions to keep things simple but the closer I get to whatever holiday we are celebrating I go on Pinterest or talk to friends about their Thanksgiving plans & those simple ideas just blow out the window.


However… the truth is that though I crave simplicity…I love to host, love to cook & love to decorate for the holidays.

And making a fall tablescape for Thanksgiving is so much fun!

Full disclosure, come Thanksgiving our farmhouse table fall tablescape will have many, many more place settings laid out.

Our table will have more few leaves & chairs added to it, the kitchen table will turn into the kids table & my kitchen counters will be completely covered with pots and pans, empty glasses of wine & cranberry sauce.

We will have 22 for Thanksgiving again this year.

Because I am one of six it is almost impossible to have a small family gathering.
I love celebrating with my family & Jason’s.
It makes Thanksgiving that much more special to all be together.
But this year, one thing will be simpler.


The vegans in the family have decided to be pescetarian this year which means I only have to make one dish of mashed potatoes.
Last year, we had 6…
SIX potato dishes!!! This year we will only have 4…
I hope, ha!

For those that might be wondering where all those potato dishes will go…I am currently petitioning for a kitchen island to lay all the potato dishes on.


I hope this inspires your fall tablescapes this year!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday,

Quick & Colorful Thanksgiving Table Setting
Simple Thanksgiving Tablescape
Hey Tara…I can see in my minds eye your extended family of 22 tucked in at your kitchen and dining room tables…what joy there will be! And like you, I have all sorts of notions of simplifying…but yeah, gets tossed out the window when time to decorate or entertain. Oh well…perfection is overrated.
Happy day my friend.
