Day 29 of 31 days of prepping for the Holidays ~ Keep it Simple

So have I told you yet I am a VERY slow painter.....yep I am STILL painting that living room....geez one would think I was channeling Michelangelo or something.

Well the good thing is while painting away my mind has the opportunity to think of all kinds of things.  Since I seem to have a one track mind at the moment I was up on that ladder thinking about my Thanksgiving table and how I was going to decorate it.   I suppose I could have been thinking about something a tad bit more important....but nope my mind was fixated on  

Thanksgiving Table Settings.

A series of little things happened which led me to a fabulous conclusion. 

It was like a chain reaction in my little ole brain.  

Here is what happened:

While taking a little break from painting I was in serious contemplation and reached into the kitchen cupboard for a glass to get a drink of water.   I got out a glass which in our house is a Mason jar.  I happened to look up on a display shelf and sitting there all nice and pretty are three antique mason jars.   I looked out into that living room that used to be dark and dank and saw nothing but creamy white walls.  Then out of the corner of my eye I saw one of my favorite wall decors.  

It says

"Keep It Simple"

Then I had an epiphany of sorts.   Hmmm.....why don't I just keep it simple. 

Mason jars, White pumpkins, creamy white walls, and a simple inviting warm table scape.

Here are some of my inspiration photos.

There is just something so simple and devine about Mason Jars.

"SIMPLY GORGEOUS"   

Yep that is my theme for the holidays.

How do you decorate your holiday table?
