ecause my dining room table is set, I don't need to make room for dishes, flatware, glasses, napkins or bowls. Guest will bring their dinner plate to the buffet line. A large pedestal filled with white dinner plates is really just for show. However, they can be used if needed!
big antique tool caddy holds a variety of pumpkins and other woodland elements. I keep this tool caddy on my island and fill it with seasonal decor. Trailing vines, magnolia leaves, berries, oak leaves and birch balls fill in the nooks and crannies. 
ore pumpkins spill out from the tool caddy and on to the counter. Little candles add ambiance and a warm glow to the buffet.colorful pair of pheasants migrate to the buffet from the mantle and stay for a visit until after Thanksgiving. 
nd one bold pheasant on top of the dinner plates. He will have a great view of the food and the festivities!
trio of clay colored pitchers filled with branches and bittersweet give this buffet the feel of scrubby brush and untamed woodland. Bringing height to any table or buffet makes it more appealing. These pitchers come off of my kitchen table. The kitchen table will be used for desserts.
fairytale pumpkin sits on a turned pedestal. I use lots of acorn wreaths and napkin rings under the pumpkins to give the illusion of a woodland floor.
umpkins, magnolia leaves, birch balls, acorn wreaths, antler sheds and a handful of acorns and star anise are scattered across the burlap runner.
he decor stays mainly on the burlap runner and the food will be placed on either side of the decor for our big Thanksgiving buffet.
