Set a holiday table that combines the coziness of fall with the magic of Christmas.
That is a transitional table and what I am sharing with you today.
I am excited to share all that went into this table decor.
If you are like me you’ll like to ride the holiday cusp.
You see, every year I have a hard time parting with my pumpkins.
After searching high and low for the elusive white pumpkins, lugging home Cinderellas and never able to resist a baby boo, I amass quite a patch every season.
So when Thanksgiving is over, but I am still not ready for full on Christmas, I like to ride the cusp with a transitional table.
Today I am sharing a fancy transitional table. Probably not your everyday table ~ mine either, but you can get ideas from this display to work into any type of transitional table.
I also have some very special items on this table, which I know you will love to learn about.
The stunning embroidered linen napkins are from my friend Lidy at French Garden House. Give yourself a treat & visit FGH. Both Lidy’s blog and shop are exquisite.
I will search no longer for the perfect white pumpkin, as I now have an everlasting one…and a silver & gray one to make it a trio.
The pumpkins are velvet with real stems ~ I am in love!
To create my transitional table…
I used a piece of plaid flannel from Joanne’s as my runner.
A metal basket I found in my barn when we loved in to corral the pumpkins, pinecones, string lights & moss.
The baby boos weren’t as white as I wanted them to be so I spray painted them with white chalk based paint.
A few sprigs of boxwood also got a spray – gold for them – and tucked in with the velvet pumpkins.
The little ornaments are from Restoration Hardware and were quite reasonably priced. They came as a set in a little bag.
If your pumpkins aren’t orange, I think they surely have a place on the transitional table.
All you need to do in order to ride the cusp is to keep it neutral, add a bit of metallic and a nod to both seasons/holidays.
You feeling it? I think you are riding the cusp with me already!

Oh the beautifully perfect transitional table Kelly! I love it!
Your table is the perfect transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas, Kelly. Love the wire basket filled with pine cones, the glimmer of lights, and the neutral colors. Beautiful! A wonderful spot for family and friends, Emmett too, to have wonderful laughter-filled meals together. xo Lidy
Your table is absolutely stunning! My favorite idea though is the flannel runner against the beautiful linen monogrammed napkins.
Thanks Peggy – I love that kind of juxtaposition too! And dare say it isn’t even a “runner” just a piece of fabric cut with unfinished ends. Someday maybe I will hem it ~ or not! Happy Holidays to you & yours!!
Love the plaid runner in mute tones, the metal basket I wish I found in my barn, the mix of candlesticks. This inspired me to “shop my house” and tone down the holiday colors, muted is often better. That said, I added a bit more color to my LED prelit tree, reindeer moss, faux fern pieces and pink/burgundy bunches of mini flowers. The effect of the blogs I read is reflected in my tree. I so enjoyed your home tour. So great and loved that you explained things to a live person, it made it seem real.
Oh that Mary Beth Evans I definitely a live & lively person! We had such fun!! So glad you enjoyed the tour. I am really drawn to the muted tones these days. That being said, I am enjoying the pop of red on porch. But that is just for the season. Glad you have you along with me here!
Kelly! This is stunning! I love the plaid and the natural touches. So beautiful my friend.
Hugs, Jamie
I like the mix of natural and elegance you’ve used. Particularly the Hanover Gold which I have and love. Very pretty!
