Happy November! This is the perfect time to start decorating your home with festive Thanksgiving flair. Here are the top 7 reasons to have a Mid-Century style Thanksgiving!
1. Mid-Century items add interest and act as conversation pieces.
Thanksgiving is one of the few times of year when you host friends and family at your home, so give them something interesting to look at and talk about. Items like this vintage mid-century ashtray would be great conversation starters:
These items add fun and whimsy to every party.
- You may find more Thanksgiving items.
It can be difficult to find many Thanksgiving items in the store nowadays, so look for items like this vintage Thanksgiving turkey serving platter to add to the holiday ambience:
These items are often much more affordable than what you can find currently in stores.
- Your relatives will relate to the Mid-Century style.
Your older relatives may have first-hand knowledge of Mid-Century style, and using Mid-Century items will let them feel nostalgic. If they are bringing a dish to Thanksgiving, encourage them to bring it in one of their own unique vintage pieces. They will likely have a great story about the item!
- There are unique Mid-Century style items that we just don’t have now.
Items like this vintage decanter spritzer pump with a caddy can’t be found in stores now:
These items are perfect for Thanksgiving and will make serving easier and more fun! Since hosting parties was all the rage back in the 1950s and 60s, most of these items are made for parties and for sharing. Items like this vintage chip and dip pottery on a Lazy Susan make sharing items much easier:
- It is easier to mix and match items!
How many people really have enough place settings of one china pattern to use for one event? Most people end up having to mix and match china patterns. Mid-Century modern style barware and serving items are perfect for mixing and matching. By picking the same era of designs, they all coordinate, but then you have the freedom to mix items. These Pasinki mid-century tumblers
would look great on the same table as these vintage Georges Briard drinking glasses.
- Mid-Century items are elegant!
Items like this vintage glass serving tray with gold leaves are so elegant and add a touch of class to any party:
- These vintage pieces will never go out of style!
Vintage items are great because they have stood the test of time and they continue to be popular. These are classic, timeless pieces that will look beautiful year after year!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, and check back on the blog in a few weeks when we will give you some great Mid-Century Christmas design ideas, as well!
