It's very beach-y.

But throw a few of those mini "pumpkins" and pinecones in and you can make ANYTHING into a Thanksgiving table centerpiece. OR you can use your just-completed turkey masterpiece that YOU spent all day cooking. That's a pretty doggone great Thanksgiving table centerpiece, too.

They photograph like statues...Jared esp. has the same bland facial expression in every pic I have seen of him. They come off as distant, stiff, and downright cold.
reminds me of those Christmas trees that are flocked all white and have only solver and gold bulbs on them.

Decorative gourds should be fucking colors of Autumn! And what the fuck is that fucking log doing there? It's taking up room that could be filled with decorative fucking gourds!

I don't get the clamshell either.

I would think she has a formal dining room where she eats holiday meals.

The giant clam with gourds looks ridiculous as does the tiny white pumpkin on each plate.

If the whole Trump family dies of virulent food poisoning as a result of the load that pile of overdressed beach junk is carrying, will the day after Thanksgiving become a new national public holiday?

It's like Martha Stewart's evil twin went mad at the beach and then picked up a few odds and ends at a farmer's market and maybe an abattoir. Are those antlers, and are those clumps of some kind of fur or hair? Did Jeffrey Dahmer take up interior decorating?

That's spectacularly horrible.

Or make one big-ass Oyster Rockefeller.

A punch bowl?

Or turn it over and use it to cover the traditional Thanksgiving Clam.

Don't worry, dear, the dinner will be a fantastic success. People will talk about it for years. Can you write out my check now, please?

Both the Crab on the coffee table (yeah, I know it is an Alaskan King Crab) and the Giant clamshell on the kitchen island seem surreally out of place.

It's all mixed up. What do seashells and pine cones have to do with each other? The pumpkins are all piled in there with no artistry whatsoever. Oh, and is that driftwood? Well, then, what do pine cones and driftwood have to do with each other? What are those green things?

OK, here's my new theory. Ivanka knows her dad is circling the drain and she's looking for a new career. This is actually her work and she's sending it out as a trial balloon for Ivanka Trump Floral Design.

And even if the point was that the island bar would have the food on it, which is often done, there's no room between the plates and the gaudy centerpiece. It's not practical. Either the plates would need to be stacked or the food would have to be on yet another serving table. I guess that's not a big deal when you're living like a fake billionaire.
