At the end of this post, please share your thoughts on this interesting debate.
Over the past few weeks I have had the amazing opportunity to pin with Better Homes and Gardens and a round up of amazing home bloggers in a group pin board titled "Finding Fall". The pin board has over 1,000 pins of gorgeous fall decor ideas.
I have to say, It's a must see. So many beautiful images and creative ideas for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
While searching for things to pin to this board, I've been browsing the internet for Thanksgiving ideas. This has also helped me to plan my 2013 Thanksgiving decor. Last year, I played musical furniture and flip flopped my dining room and living room to accommodate dinner guests. I moved my dining table into the living room in front of the fireplace to create the dining room of my dreams...
{I wrote a post about the swap and shared more details, here}.
I used our occasional table as a dessert and coffee bar. I moved our sofas into the dining room to create an intimate conversation area and used my dining buffet as an adult beverage station. I kept the decor simple.
I used artichokes as place cards and coffee beans in my lanterns for the centerpiece.
I was thinking of doing something similar this year and adding some festive decor to the mantle as well. This is what landed me on the internet looking for inspiration when I uncovered this issue.
There is an interesting topic brewing on whether or not it's acceptable to use food as decor. Some feel that it is wasteful and insensitive to those going without to create a disposable arrangement with food. This has really got me thinking...
I always love to hear what you guys have to say, so I thought I'd ask for your thoughts on the matter...
How do you feel about using food as decor? Have you done it? Is it wasteful and/or insensitive? Thanks for weighing in.
