Thanksgiving Elegance

Thanksgiving is celebrating abundance. Unfortunately, sometimes when it comes to decor, abundance can lead to clutter and lack of focus. Not only that, but the Thanksgiving decor you can find at your local store doesn’t usually scream elegance or sophistication. Thankfully, there are many ways to avoid an overdecorated table, such as paring down, having a focal point, and playing with the style elements you already have in your home. These following tables are wonderful examples of the simplicity and care that makes for a memorable place to eat.
