Is Your Home Ready for Turkey Day?

If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, you might be too stressed from planning the perfect meal to put much thought into your decor. 

Before you search for that perfect stuffing recipe, here are a few quick (and fun!) ways to spruce up your living space before your guests arrive for dinner:

Create a Thanksgiving Centerpiece

You don't have to be a florist in order to throw together a Thanksgiving centerpiece to add a little holiday cheer. Look for flowers in autumn colors, or just opt for pumpkins, gourds, and leaves to set the scene. A Thanksgiving centerpiece doesn’t have to be elaborate, it can be as unique as the people sitting around your table. 

Schedule Your Blinds and Shades with myLink™ 

Imagine how impressed your family will be when your blinds, shades, or draperies open and close as if by magic! You can enjoy some November sunlight with your turkey or schedule your blinds to close for a private family dinner using the myLink app. 

If you have your hands full cooking the perfect Thanksgiving dinner, don’t worry. With the myLink and Amazon Alexa, you can control your blinds and shades with just the power of your voice. Voice control is the perfect way to keep your home in order, while still cooking up a storm in the kitchen!

Create a Thankful Tree 

Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks for the great things we have in our lives. So turn all that gratitude into a part of the Thanksgiving festivities by having guests write what they're most thankful for and hang their blessings as ornaments. It’s a great way to reconnect during the holiday with family and friends and focus on what’s most important. Find out how to create your own Thankful Tree at the Simply Vintage Girl blog.
