If you have
no time to cook dinner, you won't have much time to worry about the table. However, set aside 15 minutes to transform your everyday dining table into a beautiful
Thanksgiving table. Cover the table with a cream-colored cloth and brown runner.

Use a combination of white, bronze, and gold to create a rich looking
Thanksgiving table. Cover the table with an embroidered runner and mirrored place mats. On each setting, place a white plate and a gold napkin.

Even
on a budget, you can achieve a beautiful and elegant atmosphere for
Thanksgiving dinner. Cover the table with a brown cloth. Search for a tablecloth that is on sale, or if you have access to a sewing machine, purchase some cheap fabric and sew a tablecloth.

For
election night, go patriotic with the decor. Serve
the food on modern, red trays. Since
Liberty and I are hosting our bash at
a local bar, the napkins and plates will be paper and plastic.

Walking around the tasting tent at the
Food Network NYC Food and Wine Festival, I came across a fabulous decorating idea — it's perfect for Fall or the holidays — that I plan to re-create in a tablescape. You can to, here's how to:
- Start by covering the table with a simple cloth. Arrange a thin layer of gauzy fabric over the tablecloth.
- Sprinkle the table with rose petals in a color that matches the party's theme.
