This year I wanted to create a Thanksgiving table setting that was a bit more eclectic. I got a ton of inspiration from magazines and combined several aspects that I fell in love with- but you know me- it had to be on my own budget 🙂 But I was excited to set my new table for the first time! You can see how I made this table for $80 here!
To add to the fun, I got some friends to link up their table setting as well and you can find those links at the bottom of the post!
The only things I bought to add to my table this year were some vintage saucers/ small plates and faux fur to make the place mats. I had fun wandering around my favorite thrift store and gathering any little plates I could find and then picking out my favorites for a mix of colors and patterns. I have always had white plates and got some blue salad plates a long time ago so I knew I would have a simple base with those.
I wanted to add some fun texture so I bought some faux fur at the fabric store and just cut it up to the sizes I wanted- no sewing for this girl! Ok, enough chit chat, who’s ready for Turkey?!
All of the little plates were between 3 and 6 dollars so they were a super cheap, easy way to add a little whimsy.
The centerpiece was a fun mix of finds. I found this beautiful set of bells at the thrift store and then the wish bone and gold dipped feathers were Hobby Lobby finds! The feathers are sneaky though… they are actually Christmas tree ornaments! Don’t be surprised if they pop up again for Christmas decor…
In fact, with a few substitutions this table can flip right over to Christmas Decor! But first… Thanksgiving.

Bee, your tablescape is beautiful – simple and fresh with that color scheme. I love love love the idea of the mixed up plates that you found. I used to think I would have 12 whole sets of different china patterns, but that was wayyy to hard to collect. But now you have me thinking about salad/dessert plates…what a fun way to mix up the table and mix in a vintage vibe to a more modern table!
Thanks so much Lisa!! xo
I am totally in love with those feathers! And the candle sticks. I am going to Hobby Lobby today on a feather ornament hunt! It looks beautiful, Bee!
Thanks Brenna!! yes- get on over there- I think they were in with all of the white ornaments:)
Your table is simply beautiful! I love it!
Thank you so much Kim!!
OK. Here’s what I love the most about this. In no particular order: the fur, the feathers, the plates. I could NEVER rely on our Goodwill to have that many cute plates at one time. It took me AGES to gather what I needed for the plate wall at the old house. That new table of yours is going to be awesome for Thanksgiving, girl! xx
Thanks Char! Wish you could sit here and join me! xo
I love the way you put all of this together! It’s too pretty to eat on Hahahaha!
Thank you! Yeah… I will just eat there by myself;)
Bee I love this Thanksgiving tablescape! You have an eye for design, especially with all your DIY’s! The fur placemats are so chic and I love anything vintage! What great finds at Hobby Lobby too! Oh, and that table is STUNNING! I can’t believe you made it for $80?! Happy Thanksgiving! XOXO, Sarah
Thank you so much Sarah! Coming from you, I take that as a huge compliment! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well! xo
Guuurl. This is gorgeous. My fav is the feathers and the blue touches.
Thank you friend!! xoxo
