The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Twelve (Bonus Content)

I had a lot more ideas for tables, so today is a bonus content day with 8 more tables. It was really fun coming up with all these ideas and sharing them with you. I have one of the tables from this series of holiday tables that I am planning to use for our Christmas dinner. Can you guess which one? Of all the tables featured, which is your favorite?

I have been planning to use this table cloth because of the great red and green pattern. I thought that I would be using my jadeite colored vases with pink and red flowers, but when I put the jadeite on this cloth, they were too yellow. The green in the cloth is really an aqua color. So I switched gears and used silverplate julep cups with pink and red roses, glittery silver reindeer, and simple greenery.

The table is set for lunch with white plates, flatware, glasses, and aqua napkins.

This table has baking and cookie making as its theme with old enamel refrigerator boxes filled with cookie cutters, greenery, red berries, jars of holiday sprinkles, and measuring spoons. These are joined by a vintage juicer and measuring cup nestled among the greenery and berries.

The table is set for breakfast with white plates, mugs and glasses, flatware, and red checked napkins.

This is a more traditional holiday look with fresh greenery, pine cones, sugared faux apples and pears surrounding brass candlesticks with white taper candles.

I used a napkin that echoes the colors and textures in the centerpiece. The place settings consist of classic white dishes, flatware, and glassware.

We built a wood shed this past summer so that we could get all of Mike’s lumber out of the storage building. We finally got all the wood moved into the shed and I found this slab of black walnut and it looked like a table runner to me, so I used it along with some men’s wool scarves to create a rustic holiday table. I used wooden coasters and aluminum coasters for candle “holders”, with fresh cut cedar and pine cones around a wooden bowl filled with old croquet balls that remind me of Christmas balls.

I kept the place settings simple with all white dishes and napkins.

This is another look I created with the rustic wooden “runner”. This time I used old silver pieces with fresh cedar and pine cones to build a rustic elegance table. (The candles are flameless, so we won’t burn our house down.)

I used the Wedgwood Amherst dinner, salad, and bread and butter plates, silver butter pats, flatware and glassware for the place settings.

This is a simple table with ornaments made with natural materials nestled among the greenery and pine cones.

I kept the place settings mostly neutral with white plates. I used a russet colored napkin as a nod to red, but more muted to fit in with the natural look.

I bought these star lanterns after Halloween from Target. I never thought they looked like Halloween decorations, but I have used them for the holidays. The look is completed with the wooden table “runner”, greenery, and pine cones.

For the place settings, I used a white dinner plate and Wedgwood Amherst salad plate, flatware, glassware, and monogrammed white napkin with silver napkin ring.

This is a monochromatic woodland table design. I started with the men’s scarves and topped it with some verdigris containers filled with pine and pinecones and nestled a couple of ceramic bunnies amongst the greenery on the table.

  1. Holy cow! You’ve outdone yourself!

    I don’t know that I could pick a favorite, but I think I like certain pieces best–the walnut ‘runner,’ the nen’s scarves, the wooden bead garland, and the old toys. But, then, I am also a sucker for icy, glittery things…hmmm…. What FUN you must be having with it all!
