Simply Elegant Fall Table Setting

I love the feeling of having the fire going, candles lit, and enjoying an intimate meal around a cozy table with delicious food and amazing company. This month Better Homes and Gardens challenged us to create a glamorous yet affordable Fall Table Setting using products from their line at Walmart! Today, I’m showing you my Simply Elegant Fall Table Setting. Yes! Can you believe 95% of what you see on this table is from Walmart? Let’s take a closer look.

Elegant Fall Table Setting

White and gray fall table setting full of warm tones and white pumpkins!

I could not believe all of the beautiful pieces that are part of the Better Homes and Gardens line for this fall.   I went with a really soft look for the table, using a mixture of gray and white with natural accents like wood, feathers and wheat.

This pumpkin tureen is so fun for the holidays, it can work with both Halloween or Thanksgiving or even used as a centerpiece like I did last year!

White Pumpkin Centerpiece

I went with a very simplistic centerpiece using the Gold Twig Candles and white pumpkins. I love tall centerpieces but when you are having a dinner party they just aren’t that practical when you are trying to have a conversation!

Wheat Strands on Place Settings

I used a mixture of both bunches of willows and pheasant features to add a little texture to the place settings. Something so simple but can really tie a look together.

Using Pheasant Feathers For Fall

These Wood Chargers are just stunning. I wish they were a tad larger so you could see them under the plate better, but they are so cool.

I’m a huge fan of cheese and nut platters. I love the combination and it’s always a great dish to set out as an appetizer for guests. I love using this beautiful Marble Cake Stand to display it on.

Using A Blanket As Tablecloth

Simple and elegant fall table using a blanket as a table cloth! Love the texture on this fall table and wood chargers.

Texture is a huge part of what I do. I love working with different textures in all my spaces. I typically don’t use table cloths because I love the natural look of our live edge table, but I thought I’d mix things up and try using this Gray Herringbone Throw Blanket as a tablecloth. It instantly made the look feel very fall and cozy.

If you are looking for fun new items to add to your fall tablescape, these are all very budget friendly options!

Current snap shot of our main family room! We will Current snap shot of our main family room! We will be starting phase 1 in here later this year and I wanted to capture it as it stands now. Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

Part 1 reveal of my tween son’s bold sports bedr Part 1 reveal of my tween son’s bold sports bedroom!  It took an awhile to get the perfect purple for this look, you can swipe to see my initial fail. It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
