Forgo the old standby tablecloth and opt for glamorous, polished silver chargers and chocolate-brown linen napkins.</div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><br /></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_P1wfmNAi6bQd2XFgNHMzvlX3cNIf2Cdp_9fAwqfWGG91HoZBcvecU-9V224_XMndPwma9HOO3bxriGSAuHkkgBcp9Q2IYfeY8i7Jj3dNWryijRWYTDtUFXMdIV4AK3p1cqkcg8fx8wf/s640/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Decorate the Whole Room</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;">This buffet sparkles with candles and glassware in shades of amber and gold. Natural elements like wood grain candles and a rustic, hand-carved bowl filled with fall apples complete the look.  <b>Erinn's Tip:</b> "When decorating for Thanksgiving guests, don't stop at setting the table. The buffet, side tables and coffee table will benefit from a few fall touches as well. Bring in large branches of fall foliage and place in a tall vase for a seasonal decoration that is chic and free the best of both worlds. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div>
