A Place for Everyone

Tasha Moody of Iris & Oak believes the best interiors are graced with a balance of color, texture and natural elements. When setting the table for us this month, she simply layered neutral woven textiles with clean white artisan-inspired dinnerware, topped off with a cascade of festive gourds and mums available at the grocery store or local nursery. 

How we can make our Thanksgiving table more meaningful and prettier?

Tasha reminds us that hosting a beautiful Thanksgiving is all about being prepared and having a plan. "Without a plan, we can tend to go overboard and be lost at work in the kitchen or inundated with tasks around the house. A plan helps us not only prepare, but also pare down, delegate, and generally have a better-finished product with a more present interpersonal experience along the way," she says. "Aim to have fewer things done well rather than many that are barely done. These place settings contain the same dishes and cascading gourds and florals, but the subtle changes in textiles and positioning create surprisingly different feelings."

Tasha and her family will head to her parents' house to spend a few nights celebrating Thanksgiving with a house full of all 15 family members, playing games, sharing food and drink and strumming the guitar by the fire at night. "I absolutely love the smell of food and bustling busyness of a full house at my parents for Thanksgiving," she says.
