It's your year to host Thanksgiving. You've been planning, researching, and figuring out all of the details ("Do I make the cranberry sauce or buy it in a can?!") You've got a beautiful feast in the works, but we all know that no matter how good it tastes, the presentation is everything - if it looks good, it will taste even better! Let us show you how to nail your presentation (and really impress your Mother-in-Law!)
You want your place settings and dishes to be the star of your table, so choose a runner that has a more natural, organic quality to it. Avoid anything too shiny or precious. In our setting, we chose a burlap runner. It's rustic quality plays well against the crisp dinnerware and really brings an understated elegance to the whole setting.
To prevent burns while reaching across the table for the butter, place a few white or off-white unscented candles in hurricanes. To visually weigh them down, fill the bottom of each hurricane with several inches of quinoa before placing the candles inside.
If your table isn't big enough for hurricanes, use votives. This year we are using mercury glass votives. They are mysterious, sparkly, and will get along with all of your dishes.
Another space-saving technique is to use tall candlesticks. They take up hardly any space but will definitely give your table some drama. Using candles will make your dining experience feel extra special!
An appetizer is a delightful way to warm up the party. We are big fans of Costco's assortment of cheeses and love sharing our spread on these beautiful cheese platters and plates. Even if you aren't hosting the party, a full stocked cheese platter makes a wonderful hostess gift and is always a welcome addition to the festivities.
You've worked so hard on creating a culinary masterpiece, you should let it take center stage. We recommend keeping the color to the food itself and using white serving dishes. Pair your white dishware with silver, glass, and/or crystal glassware and utensils. After all, nothing should compete with the turkey!

This is one of our most favorite times of the year. The air is getting cooler, it's about time to break out the sweaters and boots, and it's our Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Special Order Event! These are just a few of our favorite pieces:
This beauty is the London Chaise in a pretty steely blue velvet. You've seen the London Sofa on our floor before - but here she is all dolled up and perfect for a Master Bedroom.
We always have a love for the Marlena Chairs - pictured on the right. They sit well and look so sophisticated upholstered in that linen. That hair on hide ottoman is the Winston - perfect as a cocktail table, just add a tray at the end of a bed. See that leather chair on the left? That's the Draper Chair, you know - like Don Draper? Mad Men? It definitely has a 1960's feel.
The Odette Sofette has always been one of our favorites. Seen here in a Charcoal linen.
These handsome exposed wood frame chairs are the Blakely's. Sophisticated and smart - these would make great lounge chairs in an office.
And last but certainly not least is our pretty mint green leather Tobi Chair paired with the velvet clad Rocco Ottoman.
