This past week, I went to our friends' very modern and beautifully open house for Thanksgiving. Every year for the past few years they've been taking folks in and growing their meal, until it reached over twenty this past Thursday. I took pics from start to finish to share what was a really beautiful mix of old and new styles and a very modern Thanksgiving. There's a lot here to copy (and you can see more of the house here). Enjoy!

What a wonderful tradition for a thankful holiday.
Love the entire look but love that tablecloth. Source please??
I'm with BounceVI, would love to know how to get that grey tablecloth. It's exactly what i'm looking for. Thanks!
Yes, tablecloth source pls!
Such an elegantly simple table and presentation, with the gray and white, unadorned flatware and glassware, and the berried branches. Is that bittersweet? Just wow.
Pretty. Perfect house.

Thanks so much!!
Pretty! And I'm impressed the kids could be trusted with the open tea lights. The kids we know are pyromaniacs!
It looks like the lights are battery-powered since they lasted all evening without the wax level sinking--they look super realistic in the photos though, I'd be interested in the source.
Any idea where I can find those benches or something similar?
Wow, nice idea!
Love the "wishbone" chairs at Thanksgiving- haha!
absolutely enchanting! Nothing nicer than being surrounded by good people, good food & good wine - lots to be thankful for!
nice post... these must be great people.
Maxwell, I think you need to get back to being more involved in apartment therapy.... it is beginning to wander...
Sarawelder! I hope I am involved and you can feel it.
When you say wander, tell me what you mean. :)
Brilliant Idea and Brilliant Delivery!
