Christmas Dining Room

12.12.2014

The dining room is decorated much more simply than years past. I am not hosting a dinner this year so I did not set the table.

I created a simple centerpiece on the table using my vintage berry crate filled with snow and three small flocked trees.



A silver revere bowl filled with pine cones and cranberries sits on a grain sack in the morning light.



The trees did not come flocked, but I used a couple of the easy methods found here.

Some pine cones and bits of greenery were added to the ironstone in the hutch.












Gosh, Christmas is less than two weeks away and I have barely shopped, haven't wrapped a thing, and have much more to share.

Happy Friday and have a super weekend!

    I love your simple dining room Christmas decor! Honestly, with so much eye candy to look at, a few thoughtfully placed sprigs of green and those adorable trees in the center of the table is all the room needed! Merry Christmas, my dear friend! xo

    I love the fresh greens in the ironstone. Everything is so pretty! I am with you on the shopping/wrapping! I am so far behind this year. Of course, I am sitting here on the computer instead of getting it all done...
    Cheers- Shelley

    Next year for a Christmas home tour, if I had a ton of money, I would have a different blogger arrive each week to decorate my house for Christmas. At the top of my list of guest decorators would be you and Mary Alice of Chateau Chic. Wouldn't that be fun!

    Love all of your designs - especially the ironstone. Is it antique? English? Would love to start my own collection! Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year. You're one of my favorite bloggers!

    Oh my gosh! I just love looking at all of your ironstone! I still have not flocked the trees that I intended to, nor have I shopped for anyone! But I'll take care of all of that tomorrow (that song is filling my head right now!)
