I don’t know about you, but my mother taught me at an early age how to set a proper table. As I’ve learned, it is an absolute art.

Fast-forward to today and I have realized that not everyone has had the honor of setting a formal table. Therefore, I’m sharing my favorite guide, so you can set the stage for an incredibly beautiful Thanksgiving meal setting. My favorite guide is by Martha Stewart. You can never go wrong with Martha - She sets a gorgeous table. Swipe to see the guide.🍽️🧡

Side note: Don’t feel like you have to utilize all of the pieces on the guide for your table. You can just place the items your guests will need.

As a good base, I love using a natural woven charger under my china, but you may prefer a placemat or noting at all if you’re making the tablecloth the focal point.

Have fun and play with what works for you and you can’t go wrong. Enjoy!

One of my favorite things to decorate for holiday parties and meals is the dining table. It’s such a fun creative outlet and really helps to enhance the holiday vibe.

So, how do you create an epic table scape?

🌿Set the tone with a beautiful runner or tablecloth.
🌿Decide on a theme (think winter wonderland or fall harvest)
🌿Gather items of all sizes, shapes, textures, and tones to create drama and depth.
🌿Enhance the centerpiece with various candles and lights.
🌿Add in some fresh produce, floral, and foliage to bring it all together with a balance of nature.

Have fun creating your Thanksgiving table this week and enjoy the beauty of your table.

I heard it said recently that a table is meant to create a space of belonging. It got me thinking about where and why we have dining tables.

The dining table originated in Ancient Egypt as a stone slab for keeping things off the floor, then evolved into what we now know as a place to eat with Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. Over the years, our dining tables have taken on all sorts of tasks, styles, and shapes.

We continue to design spaces to include dining tables because they have become a hub for gathering together over a good meal, which fosters deep connection, conversation, mindful eating, and reduced stress. A shared table is an inclusive space where we unite on common ground for a common purpose.

This week as we share in our Thanksgiving meal, take a moment and be grateful for the simple dining table.

It’s humbling to have been included with this amazing group of design contemporaries who are setting the stage for the next level of elevated living.

For this feature, I was asked by my friends at how I would describe living beautifully.

Ultimately, for me, it’s about creating and living in environments where every element—structure, material, and aesthetic—resonates with the life you aspire to lead and the world you wish to sustain.

At Wellness Design Group, we help you create a home that supports your health, honors your story, and respects the planet by blending the power of nature with the science of health and well-being. Whether you just want to feel safe and relaxed when you walk in your front door or you’re concerned about limiting harmful exposure to things that cause chronic illness, we can help you. Our goal is to create environments that are good for the people who live in them and for the planet they inhabit.

As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time to fill your home with natural aromas that uplift your spirit and enhance your well-being. Think balsam, pumpkin, cranberry, chestnuts, vanilla, sage, and other festive aromas that mark the beauty of fall and winter. 🍂🎄

For me, nothing says “holiday spirit” like the cozy warmth of mulled wine, cedar, and cinnamon wafting through the air. And it’s not just about nostalgia—research published in Ambio (2022) shows that woodland scents are deeply connected to our memories, boosting both physical and emotional health.

Why stop with the holidays? Embrace the magic of natural aromas year-round! From fresh florals in spring to citrus bursts in summer, natural scents can enhance your mood and well-being every season. 🌿

Your entryway is more than just a passage; it’s the first impression your home makes and the energy that greets you and your guests. A beautifully designed entryway sets the tone for the entire living space, offering a warm welcome and a sneak peek into your own personal style.

Think of it as the handshake of your home—confident, inviting, and memorable reflection of you. Whether it’s a burst of fresh greenery, a curated selection of art, or the comforting scent that whispers ‘welcome back,’ the entryway is where your home’s story begins.
