Well, aren’t you the social butterfly? Family and friends for Thanksgiving dinner, neighbors and colleagues for a Christmas feast. Two different holidays, two different seasons – and two very different table settings. (After all, that flaming figgy pudding of yours would look pretty silly sitting next to a harvest pumpkin.) So what’s a harried host or hostess to do? Revitalize your table without reinventing the wheel: Basic white dinnerware and a handful of interchangeable seasonal accents can take your tabletop all the way from harvest to holiday. Here’s how.

HARVEST

HOLIDAY

Run with it.

If you’ve ever spent a frantic preparty afternoon ironing a tablecloth, listen up: A seasonal table runner in rich autumn tones delivers all of the punch with none of the pain.

Run with it, part II.

Remember that easy yet high-impact harvest table runner? (Look left) Switching to a festive holiday runner is just as easy and impactful. And jolly as all get-out.

Autumn leaves.

Mother Nature redecorates every season. Why don’t you? Scatter colorful leaves – real or faux – around your harvest table. A leafy autumn wreath hangs overhead.

Winter wreaths.

Nothing says yuletide like a holiday wreath. Retire those autumn leaves and pop this baby in the window. Waddya know? It’s Christmas!

A golden glow.

You know how it looks in the late afternoon when the autumn sun bathes the fall foliage in that warm, amber light? Oh yeah, you need this candleholder.

Ornamental holders.

Could it get any more Christmas-y than this? Clear glass pillar holders with suspended red & green balls inside can hold a candle to any tree.

The building blocks.

White dinnerware and serveware go with everything.Table linens, seasonal décor, even other dinnerware. Whatever you dish out, these bad boys won’t disappoint.

Dish up some color.

Mix basic white dinnerware with patterned plates in holiday hues for an instant change of season. Goodbye harvest, hello jolly.

Warm and toasty.

Celebrate the harvest (aka Thanksgiving dinner) with a friendly toast. This crackle stemware in warm gold + your favorite libation should do the trick.

Off the hook.

And onto the table. Your holiday guests will love these whimsical ornament placecard holders. And after dinner, they make great personalized party favors too.
