Can you guys believe that Thanksgiving is next week!? I mean, seriously!!! It’s going to be New Year’s before we know it. I love gathering around the table with friends and family on Thanksgiving! It’s a time to pause and reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. And I have oh so much to be thankful for! One thing that I enjoy is creating tablescapes for holidays. This year, I decided to go with a simple Thanksgiving tablescape.
Today, I’m joining a few friends for a Gather ‘Round the Table Thanksgiving Tablescapes blog hop that my sweet friend Amber has graciously put together. If you have hopped over from Lora’s blog, wasn’t her cornucopia centerpiece beautiful!

A Simple Thanksgiving Tablescape
Let me go ahead and share this simple thanksgiving tablescape with you all. I threw this tablescape together in about 15 minutes. I’m not even kidding. That’s how easy this is going to be. So if you are looking for some quick and easy inspo for Thanksgiving, hear ya go!
Centerpiece
The first thing that I did to create this simple Thanksgiving tablescape was place some eucalyptus garland and stems in the center of the table. I picked this up at Hobby Lobby (when it was half-off, of course). Then I added some varying sized brass candlesticks throughout the garland. It still seemed like something was missing after I added the candlesticks, so I decided to add in a few pine cones to give it more texture and color.
Place Setting
Once I had the centerpiece done, I started with the place settings. I used the wood slices as my chargers because I loved the natural element they added. My everyday white plates that I’ve had for about 15 years now are my go-to for all tablescapes. I absolutely love these plates because they go with every table setting and have held up so well over the years! The ornamental pear on top of each plate added the perfect touch to finish off the look.
Flatware
I may have let out a little squeal when I found this copper flatware at Walmart! I knew it would go perfect with my fall tablescape and it was such a great price that I couldn’t pass it up!! I’m looking forward to using them in my Christmas tablescape as well.
Glassware
If you’ve been around for a bit, you know it’s hard for me to put together any space without including some vintage. I found the beautiful vintage amber glassware at a local thrift store for $1 each and knew that I had to have them.
I love the way that the tablescape turned out. It has so many different textures and elements that create a warm and welcoming vibe for guests.
I hope this has inspired you some to create a simple Thanksgiving tablescape. Just look around your home and use things that you may already have. I’m constantly moving around decor and repurposing things to decorate with. It makes things fun and interesting.

This is beautiful, Heather! I love all of the natural accents you’ve used! Happy to be joining the hop with you! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Looks beautiful and inviting. I tend to not like a fussy, formal table, it’s just not me or my family. This is nice and natural. Great job, thank you for sharing!
Love this warm and cozy tablescape, Heather! It’s all really pretty. I would have never thought to use ornamental pears this way but gosh, they make such a statement. I love the mix of eucalyptus and pinecones too. Just gorgeous! I hope you and your family have a fabulous time celebrating Thanksgiving, hugs, CoCo
Heather, only you could do this in 15 minutes! I love it and those wood slice chargers! I need me some of those. Everything looks so inviting. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I love every element in this sweet scene: the brick floor, lovely floor and fantastic tablescape!
Such a beautiful table. Love your wood chargers and that blanket is adorable. I would love to have the flooring, it is so pretty. Your whole table area is beautiful.
I love this. The chargers are wonderful. So is the amber glass.
I really notice your flatware and can’t believe those are from Walmart! Your table is gorgeous!
Simple? Or simply beautiful?! Love it all, but the pears are the “cherries” on top of your tablescape. Pinned.
Hello Heather,
I love love your beautiful and inviting table. Your natural table runner combined with the pillars are perfection. I particularly enjoyed the ornamental pear at each place setting. A very attractive touch!
Simple yet bursting with lots of elegance. Beautiful job.
It was fun joining you on this Thanksgiving blog hop. Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving.

What a beautiful table, Heather! I love the centerpiece you created with Eucalyptus, pine cones, and brass. It looks lovely combined with your white dishes, wood slice chargers, and amber stemware. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!
Amber glassware for the win for Thanksgiving! I’ve lost count how many of us used beautiful vintage glasses on our tables; they’re just perfect, aren’t they? Heather, you just have styling in your genes, that’s why you can whip up a beautiful scene like this so quickly! Love the soft, natural tones you used and your photo styling with the afgan draped over the chair is awesome! Fun hopping with you again! Happy Thanksgiving!
This is so beautiful. I love the eucalyptus you used for the centerpiece and pinecone centerpiece and I adore all those lovely candles. I need to remember to use more candles, they always make me happy. Your table is truly lovely and so inviting.
Your Thanksgiving tablescape is simple yet stunning! It just goes to show that decor doesn’t have to be complex to be beautiful. I love the wood slices used as plate chargers. The eucalyptus mixed in with the candles and pine cones is gorgeous. The pears and the amber glasses are the perfect finishing touches! So happy to be hopping with you!
