We’re hosting Thanksgiving this year so a lot of this weekend was spent getting the house ready, researching recipes, and tablescape planning.

We’re splitting cooking responsibilities, so Spencer and I are responsible for turkey, rice, biscuits, appetizers, and brussel sprouts. Here is a taste of the recipes I plan on using.

Bacon wrapped dates ::: Spiced nuts ::: Brussel sprouts ::: Biscuits

As excited as I am to cook, I’m the most excited for decorate the table.

Luckily, we get to put a lot of our new wedding gifts to good use this year. So here’s a look at what our table will look like

Linen tablecloth (on sale) ::: Gold Aves salad plate ::: Kelly Wearstler china ::: Salt & pepper shakers ::: Magnolia leaf garland ::: Lots of mercury votives ::: Kate Spade Flatware ::: Quartz Tray :::

I have been working with a client who has an unnecessarily enormous master bedroom. There was so much extra space that was all going to waste. In addition to repainting and getting all new furniture, I also designed built-ins to give the space more of a library/bedroom feel. I am so excited with how the space has turned out and cannot wait to share it all when it is completely finished, in the mean time, please excuse the iPhone pictures.
