With Thanksgiving just a day away and overnight guests coming to stay I didn’t have much time to get my Thanksgiving table setting ready.

If you haven’t started your Thanksgiving Table Setting yet there is still time to make it pretty and colorful before your guests arrive.

Thanksgiving Table Setting with White Tablecloth & Plaid Runner

Quick and Simple Thanksgiving Table Setting = decorating in under 10 mins - create & share challenge - Lehman lane

To start, I first laid down a simple white linen tablecloth & added my plaid blanket scarf as a dinning table runner to give our farmhouse table a little color.

I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 18 on Thursday so we will have 12 adults at our dining room table & 6 more at the kids table.

Pumpkins & Greenery as a Thanksgiving Table Setting Centerpiece

For our dining room table, I brought in 6 pumpkins from our fall front porch that I had originally used to decorate the front of our farmhouse with.

Since I have started decorating for Christmas, these pumpkins will be composted next week anyway so it didn’t make sense to keep them outside any longer.

I also added a few evergreen sprigs to break up the orange & also give a nod to the Christmas decorating that has started to happen.

I added my red glass turkey as well as 2 small ball jars with small tea lights inside to our Thanksgiving Table Setting.

White China, Glassware & White Cloth Napkins for a Thanksgiving Table Setting

I followed our colorful Thanksgiving Table Setting Centerpiece with simple white china, white cloth napkins & glass water goblets.

It’s important to me to bring out my favorite dishes for the holidays to celebrate the season & my guests.

Red Maple Leaves a Free Chandelier Centerpiece Show Stopper

Lastly, I added a little more color to our brass chandelier with some colorful maple branches.

It is my hope to one day have an antique crystal chandelier but for now I try my best to hide the brass one we have.

Inspired by how pretty our chandelier looked at Christmas last year I traded the evergreen boughs for red Japanese maple leaves.

We are blessed to have a gorgeous Japanese maple tree in our yard that is still full of leaves every Thanksgiving.

This small fall decorating project only needs a few small branches to make it look stunning.

*leave this maple leaf project for last because the leaves will only stay fresh for a few hours before they start to wilt*

Thanksgiving Fireplace Mantel

Our dining room fireplace mantel also has some evergreen sprigs, candles & a small pumpkin to tie it in with the Thanksgiving table setting.
