Author: \u00a0Autumn (Janette)<\/em><\/h3>\n

I spent last week in New York City visiting a dear friend, and we took advantage of every minute. \u00a0One of the places I really enjoy visiting when I’m in the Big Apple is the Ralph Lauren flagship store on Madison Avenue. \u00a0It never disappoints.<\/h3>\n

The nice thing is that if you don’t have a Ralph Lauren budget, you can still borrow some of these ideas for a lot less.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made two visits to the store and just by accident was able to see his Thanksgiving table, and two days later, I saw his Christmas table which I will share later.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the table cloth, he used one of his plaid wool blankets. \u00a0This is an easy trick we all can do with wool fabric or even a plaid stadium blanket. \u00a0By the way, there wasn’t a painted piece of furniture in the place.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The informal chairs were wicker.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were four chairs pulled up to the table, and he used two rich purple velvet pillows and two plaid pillow to match the table cloth. \u00a0This is not a color most of us would associate with Thanksgiving. \u00a0I love how they always think outside the box.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

His centerpiece of various fruits, antler candle holders and even a demi-john ties in with the purple, also. \u00a0This is easy to reproduce with fresh fruit that you can eat later. \u00a0Many of you already own demi-johns and antlers.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The centerpiece was on top of a lazy-susan. \u00a0(At this point I was being stalked by an unhappy sales clerk. \u00a0I don’t think he realized that I had gotten permission to take photos).<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with the fruit, there were deep red roses in julep cups. \u00a0I think their philosophy is “more is more”.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He teamed his formal crystal with……<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… silver flatware, plaid china, and a pewter charger.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I L.O.V.E.D. these linen napkins. \u00a0The reindeer ties in with the antler candle holder but also could be used for Christmas. \u00a0The napkin ring was a miniature stirrup and was very heavy.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The light was very understated. \u00a0When I went back two days later, it had been changed.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like everything else he touches, this table was magic with its mansion in the country feel. \u00a0Like I said, he never disappoints. \u00a0Now it’s time for you to go through your closets and drawers and put together your own RL table.<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
