Our inspiration for a dream Thanksgiving dinner with the family is this fabulously cozy table setting in a rustic barn. But let\u2019s face it, with most of us living in cities or the suburbs, this country ambiance can only remain a dream. Unless…you can work a bit of \u2018down home entertaining\u2019 magic for your family Thanksgiving with decorating ideas like these we found!<\/p>\n

(Recreating) Thanksgiving Dinner in a Barn<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s so much to love about this country-style tablescape. Wooden farmhouse furniture, sturdy white dinnerware, a twigs-and-berries centerpiece, snuggly throws on the chairs, and glowing tapers on iron candlesticks. If you happen to have some of these items (or something similar), lucky you!<\/p>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

Assemble them to simulate this heartwarming scene on your own Thanksgiving table. Then add creative touches with the same natural look, like these amazing finds:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. candle holders<\/strong> made from cylinder vases wrapped in strips of birch bark (the link below contains a great tutorial!) (4)<\/li>\n
  2. a charming centerpiece<\/strong> featuring a basin or bowl of apples and floating candles (2)<\/li>\n
  3. DIY garlands<\/strong> crafted from acorns (5), autumn leaves, pine cones, dried corn husks, or fabric bunting<\/li>\n
  4. inviting place settings<\/strong> with chalkboard-style chargers that you can personalize, plus whimsical napkin accents of fresh leaves (3), bunches of herbs, sprigs of wheat, or even feathers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other items you can re-purpose into \u2018rustic\u2019 Thanksgiving decorations<\/strong>: a crocheted shawl or table runner; knitted blankets or throws; a wooden chopping board or rolling pin; baskets of any kind; wooden crates; berries, nuts, fruits, and vegetables from a nearby farmers\u2019 market. You can probably think of many more!<\/p>\n

    Of course, you must continue the \u2018down home\u2019 theme to your Thanksgiving menu<\/strong>. So, watch out for our upcoming posts on well-loved dishes and desserts to warm your family\u2019s hearts (and tummies) with!<\/p>\n
