Gather and Give Thanks in Your Whitney Ranch Home

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and luckily your Whitney Ranch home is an ideal place for entertaining friends and family. Your home’s spacious rooms, contemporary kitchen, quality appliances, and lovely outdoor living space make hosting during the holidays a real delight. Try out these fun ideas this Thanksgiving to stir up even more holiday cheer, while also making the most of every space in your Whitney Ranch home.

Pleasing Potpourri

Although there are many different ways to fill your home with festive fall scents, why not skip the artificial air fresheners and go the all-natural route by heating up some potpourri! Potpourri is a collection of aromatic ingredients, which you may already have in your pantry—like fruits, herbs, and spices. These items can be simmered in a pot of water to bring out their intoxicating aromas. You can also purchase bags of potpourri, or you can gather the ingredients and make your own potpourri. Check out this article for some incredible holiday-themed potpourri recipes. With a pot of potpourri simmering on the stove, your guests will be greeted by delightful scents from the moment they walk into your home, making their experience all the more magical.

Practice Your Tablescaping

Since the dining room is typically where the main event on Thanksgiving takes place, you can let your decorating go wild in this space via table-scaping. If you are unfamiliar with the emerging art of table-scaping, it is simply a practice of setting up your table in an artistic and highly stylized manner. Creating a well-made tablescape is an excellent way to impress your guests and provide some incredible ambiance while everyone is dining.
