If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know I’m not super fancy; I like simple things. (Especially in my home!) For this reason, I don’t have a fancy, formal dining room or a formal living room either. We’re moms — in this season of life, we don’t really need those things, right? But I do like to have a fancy-looking table during the holidays. There are some super simple DIY ways to “dress up” your tablescape this season. Keep reading to see where I got the products for this easy, kid-friendly Thanksgiving tablescape below.

EASY KID-FRIENDLY TABLESCAPE

One of my biggest fears when hosting a family holiday is that I (or someone else) will break something and have it shatter to bits all over the floor. With little ones running around in this season of life, I love having a fancy china alternative. This Rustica dinnerware from Q Squared is super durable and dishwasher safe! I love that it still looks elegant though.

As far as decor, I just shopped for these products at my local Michael’s and Ikea! They were all very affordable and super easy to find. I’ve linked a few on Amazon below. I like the simple burlap runner because it can be repurposed for other holidays and it adds rustic flare. As for the placemats, they’re a seagrass material, and I love how rustic they feel as well. I don’t have to use them just for holidays either – they can be repurposed!
