A Kitchen Worth a Mention

Peter Dunham...because Spring can't get here fast enough

We know it may be way to early to start wishing for Spring... but with these gloomy days that seem to hang around forever, we had to do so something!

Peter Dunham might be just what we need to help get us through the next round of rainy days :) He was raised in France, spent his Summers in Spain, and now designs for clients all over the world while maintaining a home in Los Angeles. Not too shabby, Mr. Dunham!

His fabrics are fun, vibrant, worldly, and best of all- they are hand painted:

With only a week to go, we thought we would help out with a little table inspiration for your Thanksgiving table. Whether you are hosting 1 or 21, these are some great ideas!

The best advice we can give is to keep it natural. Your Thanksgiving table shouldn't be extravagant. Let the food take center stage...and we have the Turkey that will do just that-see the end of our post.

and for the perfect turkey:

Arrange aluminum foil in desired shapes and 

roast according to you favorite family recipe.

Nothing like a little sun tan on your Turkey :)
