Welcome to a unique homemaking day in the life. Today we are exploring the art of the fall table setting. I'm sharing an inviting way to style a Thanksgiving or fall table for an elegant, but casual dinner party.

This video is in collaboration with Riverbend Home to feature the beautiful Spode Woodland Line, which are the ultimate fall dishes. Riverbend Home have generously given us a discount code: DCHOL10 for 10% off (some exclusions apply)

When coming up with a table-setting plan, I like to look at beautiful books for inspiration. My favorite resources are the Hoffman Media books from Victoria Magazine. Today, I take inspiration from Victoria Magazine and The Art of Tea.

I'm working with the Spode Woodland China for this autumn table-setting. I have always admired the Spode Woodland collection, but could never find a comprehensive and full collection online. Riverbend Home carries the full line in their Thanksgiving shop. DCHOL10 for 10% off (some exclusions apply)

For this table, I am using my jacquard cream tablecloth (linking similar as mine is around ten years old) that I have had for so many years. A good jacquard tablecloth can last for a decade or more if you take care of it well. A plaid table runner adds a nice autumnal touch and creates a beautiful line to base the settings off of. The rattan placemats create a new layer of texture and the wood tones of the mats warm the table. Matching plaid napkins in gold rings are placed on top of the Woodland china. Our candlesticks are placed on either side of the bay leaf bouquet. When fresh flowers are not available, I like to use greenery available in the garden. Our bay leaf tree provides fragrant and unique bouquets. The leaves can also be dried and used in cooking. The crystal iced tea glasses are very affordable on sale at only $19 for 4. Remember the code DCHOL10 for 10% off (some exclusions apply) for the Riverbend Home links.

The chief aim for an autumnal table is to create a cozy atmosphere through colors, textures, and layers. These elements would be excellent for a Thanksgiving table, special fall dinner, or other more substantial afternoon tea.

I hope you enjoy today's video and that it gives you table-setting inspiration for your Thanksgiving table.

Yvette P. writes, "When I was in my mid twenties I couldn't stand sleeping in just whatever anymore. As a homemaker and a homeschool family it definitely makes a world of difference when you're always home!"

Hi Yvette, I couldn't agree more. When you're always home, it matters even more how you present yourself. It affects how you feel. thanks for watching!
