While I don't consider myself a tabletop guru (I leave that to the experts), I was really drawn to these simple dining spaces from Commune. Couldn't you just imagine an intimate yet elegant Thanksgiving with only your nearest and dearest around you?
If I were to plan my own table I'd fill it with simple, seasonal items, saturated colors and natural element for a warm, inviting and slightly informal style.
I have a feeling that once we're happily wed, my turn will come soon enough. I'll just bank this inspiration until then.
