thanksgiving tablescape: S+S style

We know Christmas decorating is in full swing but we wanted to share with you the look we created for Lindsay's Thanksgiving table setting!

The peacock blue and gold from Eddie Ross' tablescape was the inspiration. The fabric was found in the remnants section at Joann's and napkins at World Market. The chargers, peacock feathers and votives were all Hobby Lobby finds.

In the spirit of Christmas, S+S feels that it is imperative to have an impressive display on our mantels in order to hold all of those goodies our loved ones will be placing in our stockings.

the girls

We certainly love our girls, Sadie and Stella, and they sure do love each other!

In honor of our perfect mascots, we decided to look for dog accessories that we love and of course need for the pups!

monday musings: thanksgiving tablescape

 

{via Lonny Mag}

With Thanksgiving around the corner we were in search of a whimsical tablescape. Eddie Ross did a phenomenal job for Lonny Magazine's Oct/Nov issue! The cobalt blue is un-traditional and is a refreshing addition to the Thanksgiving spread. We love the gold accents and the do it yourself ideas. It's right up our alley! 

Here are a few things we've found to achieve a similar look for the budget conscious:
