Into the Woods: Choose Your Own Entertaining Adventure
A favorite fall pastime, we’re venturing into the woods with this literary morsel in mind! Join us on our autumnal trek and discover what path is calling to you—and what does it say about your entertaining style? Follow us and choose your own adventure!
The Naturalist
You find moments of solitude in the forest a balm to the soul. The quiet beauty of organic textures, peaceful palettes and artisanal handicraft is your idea of elegance. Timeless and versatile pieces are your go-to's for easy entertaining, year-round, and your penchant for simplicity exudes a warm welcome that puts guests at ease.
The Ornithologist
With wellies on and binoculars at the ready, your forest adventure is a treasure hunt for the plumed splendor of bird watching. Sometimes, you spy a fallen feather and bring it home in your Barbour jacket to tuck into the pages of a book. As in nature, your style isn’t uniform or rigid—you love a bit of flair and character now and then. The linens may be (charmingly) a tad rumpled, but your flower arrangements are inspiring, and the conversation is always lively.
The Country Gentleman / Lady
Your path meanders through the woods and over hill and dale. You find yourself in the countryside, where you gravitate toward timeless pieces with a heritage feel, adore handwritten place cards and always have garden roses on the table. Ever the consummate host, a rich and rustic color palette feels steeped in tradition, perfect for year-round entertaining and dressing up or down as you see fit—whether it’s Thanksgiving at the family farm or a luncheon for your book club.
The Romantic
You venture deep into the woods and can’t help but notice the little creatures scurrying underfoot and the lyrical poetry of birdsong from the canopy above. You alight upon a cottage, peer inside, and discover the perfect setting just waiting for you, with tea served upon dishes with hand drawn renderings in inky flint grey, as if torn from the pages of a novel. You have a penchant for cozy textures and have a wonderfully eclectic sensibility. With a fire crackling in the hearth, you may just decide to never leave.
The Tastemaker
Your vision of Mother Nature is less granola and more glamor. The gilded splendor of autumn is your muse, and like a fabulous statement necklace, you’re not afraid to jump into a style moment like a pile of golden leaves. Chic, crisp, and incandescently glowing—you serve up a dose of dinner theater to the table at every opportunity.
The Maximalist
Autumn is your favorite time of the year, and if you’re not traipsing to wine country for the harvest or leaf-peeping and picnicking, you are hosting glorious autumnal gatherings, replete with all the trimmings. Your table is a canvas to paint the season’s riches, with saturated hues, woodland motifs, earthy textures and a perpetual glow of candlelight. You’re the life of the party, your tablescapes are never stuffy, and your guests look forward to whatever perfectly seasonal recipe you’ve dreamed up this time.
