Fill Your Plate With Style

It's almost Thanksgiving - the holiday that is synonymous with "Eat your heart out in honor of all your blessings."

So I thought it would be fitting to show you some of my favorite, most cheery, beautiful plates! Why not celebrate your Thanksgiving meal on some creative plates and tableware?

I found all of these examples at Anthropologie, and they also have some amazing other home decor items!

Plates:
I love how bold and bright these patterns are! But while being eye-catching, they still keep a natural feel with the birds, flowers, and lace pattern.

Mugs:
These mugs are so cool, especially the monogrammed ones!

Bowls:

I would love to sip some soup from one of these beautiful bowls! They all have a hand-painted vibe that makes them feel homey.

Read a Book in a Nook

Reading nooks are wonderful things. They are whimsical, cozy, and just the perfect spot to escape your own reality into the world of a great novel. As the cooler weather approaches, snuggling up with a blanket and a good book is something I wish I had more time to do!

Although most of these photos show reading nooks that are built into the structure of the house, you can always turn any corner into a perfect nook. Just put a bench seat right in the corner and add some curtains or make a dividing wall with a tall bookshelf. Make it your own! Here are a few photos to inspire you:

Chevron City!

Chevrons are everywhere!  They are a fun way to throw in some sassiness and pops of color while still being clean-cut.  They are versatile and easy to mix in with other patterns.  Bring in some bright colors, like this first photo from Ada & Darcy, or keep it modest with this beautiful armchair from Urban Outfitters (hint: it comes in bright colors as well!).

You can get almost any product in a chevron or zig-zag pattern.  Check out this fun and kitchy lamp-shade from Anthropologie and this do-it-yourself dresser from Kristen F. Davis Designs.  Who says that chevron design has to start out with the pattern? Paint it yourself!

Chevrons have made their way into every aspect of style.  Typography, fashion, wedding styling, home decor...you name it and it has been done in a chevron pattern.  Here is some more zig-zagged inspiration.
