I have set a very masculine Thanksgiving table this year.</div>

I had always felt that Thanksgiving was a holiday more for the men in our family than the women. That is why I chose these grey and wood tones for my table.</div>

I am joining a wonderful group of bloggers for a Thanksgiving Tablescape Blog Hop going on all week. All the links for 20 different Thanksgiving Tables for inspiration are near the bottom of this post. Thank you to Chloe Crabtree from Celebrate & Decorate for putting this Hop together. </div>

When I was growing up, it was always the women running around doing all the workand the men where in the other room watching football until all the food is ready. Then they ate and drank and return to the other room to watch more football, and the women were to clean up all the dishes.</div>

I won't be hosting our actual Thanksgiving dinner, we will be going to my sister's house for dinner. But I like that my boys lend a hand in setting the table and serving the food these days.</div>

We enjoy much more conversation around the table now then when I was growing up. And I am proud to say that all the husbands and sons now pitch in to clean up all the dishes. I think that this is more of how we should be giving thanks- by working together and enjoying each other's company!</div>

When I think of fall I am always drawn to an image of a big copper colored tree with all of it's leaves turning such a wonderful saturated redish brown, cool crisp weather and plaid flannel shirts. So I brought out the plaids and all the copper elements I could find for this table! Get ready for a copper overload!<br />

I am posting this as part of the Fall Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by the fabulous Chloe Crabtree of <a href="http://celebrateanddecorate.com/celebrate-your-story-144/">Celebrate & Decorate</a>! This is a fun way to get inspired about your fall decorating. Each day 4 more wonderful bloggers will be posting their fall tablescapes to get you in the mood! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The schedule and all the links will be listed at the end of my post.<br />
It started yesterday- so be sure to go back and pick up Monday's posts, because they are fabulous!</div>

My copper color started with a $5 dollar set of napkin rings and just kind of grew from there! I think I bought these at Target's dollar spot two years ago. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0kUO-5YLp60dia0f5rO0VcdUz2cvIm1gAmlUhf6AiQcojYsjeacLdmNdjEorBk3sCV1-UcWkEzgEezfSs-EIkUoij-j9tGqkPJWCDYQK2GU-2R_70v5F8Rf5CI63mOcsGUjlHYra1RFc/s1600/Fall+plaid+napkin+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1221" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0kUO-5YLp60dia0f5rO0VcdUz2cvIm1gAmlUhf6AiQcojYsjeacLdmNdjEorBk3sCV1-UcWkEzgEezfSs-EIkUoij-j9tGqkPJWCDYQK2GU-2R_70v5F8Rf5CI63mOcsGUjlHYra1RFc/s400/Fall+plaid+napkin+.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>

I didn't intentional mean to do so much copper - but when I put dark flatware out - it just didn't look good. I lucked out last week when I walked into HomeGoods with a gift card my son's friends had given me when we hosted them for a fun weekend at the lake. (they are welcomed anytime - especially if they thank me with HomeGoods gift cards!!) There was this set of copper flatware just calling my name!</div>

The gorgeous copper Moscow mule mugs are on loan from my wonderful friend, Kim, who has graciously opened her cupboards to my passion for tablescaping! Isn't it nice when your girlfriends are supportive of your odd hobby so that we can do these tables with out having purchase even more dishes, because I did splurge on these copper wine glasses while shopping at Pier 1 with my girlfriend, Diane! I am just going to call Diane an enabler!! We all need girlfriends like that!</div>

For some reason I think plaids and fall just go together simultaneously, but then again - I use plaids in almost any season! These plaid napkins and placemats had that pumpkin spice vibe to them that just wanted to be paired with these cute little pumpkin plates.<br />

Since my kitchen and dining area are just one big room, I felt it was necessary to take down the summer accessories in the kitchen and swap it out for some fall accessories there as well.<br />

Summer is in full swing here at our little lake. Boating, water skiing, fishing, and pontooning are a big part of our social life, so this nautical themed table is appropriate for a little gathering before going out on the lake.</div>

Although, because there is no horse power limit on the boat motors, we see very few sail boats on our lake. Occasionally in the middle of the week when it is real quiet, you will see someone out sailing.</div>

I filled my sailboat with some different varieties of hydrangeas.</div>

I am not much of a gardener! My hydrangeas just don't look as big and gorgeous as everyone else out there in blog land! I just live vicariously through the ladies who post on Floral Fridays!</div>

My husband will not allow me to decorate our lake house with any "sea" items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My table is actually a couple of crates with a board over the top, then covered with a picnic tablecloth. It is just the right height to enjoy a burger or hot dog as we enjoy some summer fun, while waiting for the fireworks to begin.</div>

If you are really observant - you will see that I turned my bike around halfway through taking my photos!! You might, also, see our older dog, Brandy, making an appearance in a few photos - although it may be just a foot or a leg- she does not like to pose for photos - but when she finds a comfortable place to lay - I usually let her be because she is getting up there in years and she has a hard time getting up and down anymore. </div>

We will be having between 25 to 30 family members over to enjoy the spectacular fireworks show our little lake puts on. We also have a water ski show during the day - that is put on just to the left of our house - so we can view it well from both decks. I will have to set up some other eating areas, but this one will probably the favorite since it is in the shade.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I have been looking online at wooden boxes for quite some time. I see many tutorials on how to build one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I noticed most of them all looked pretty much the same. A simple wooden box. Some were stained light and some dark. Some were longer than others. It all depended on the person's dining room table size.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted something more elegant with some pizazz. I knew I wanted something with legs and more decorative. I talked to my husband about it and off we went to the Home Depot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We used Poplar wood, however any wood would work. Leftover barn wood, fence wood or redwood. I see some people using whiteboard wood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This box is 48" long. and 9" wide.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This rope moulding really finished off the box and gave it a nice edge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We also added the onlay, which was around $9.89 each.</span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They are also called wood appliques .</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We used this Wadell leg from home Depot. It was around $3.00. My husband cut it down. You don't want the box to be too tall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I saw many other styles of legs online.</span>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you used this leg style, you could get two different leg styles out of one piece. Just cut off the top and bottom.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted a two toned look, so we used two different stains.</span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is how it turned out. I absolutely love it!</span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just be careful when using the real candles.</span></div>
