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 ChristmasContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Twelve (Bonus Content)”

I collect handblown glass ornaments when we travel, and we have ended up with a lot of blue ones which inspired this Blue Christmas table. I started with a medium blue runner and added a low ceramic tray (that I usually have on the coffee table to corral remote controls) with flameless candles, artificial greeneryContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Eleven”

I started this table with a rustic table runner with green, reds, and blue stripes on an off white/beige background. I added my large Woof N Poof Santas, a handmade Santa, a little Swedish gnome, and a German incense burning Santa. I surrounded them with artificial greenery topped with the wooden bead garland, and theContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Ten”

I noticed that I had a lot of large bear ornaments which inspired this Beary Merry Christmas table. I started with the navy and embroidered snowflake runner, and began with Chris’s and my childhood teddy bears, and then added some handmade felted black bear ornaments, two Stieff polar bears, and a couple of overstuffed whiteContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Nine”

I created a winter wonderland for this table. I started with the navy runner with the embroidered snowflakes and topped that with artificial greenery, glass icicles, and glittery leaf pics. I added a blizzard of laser cut metal, porcelain, wood, glass bead, and plastic snowflakes. I topped it all with a tinsel and glass ballContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Eight”

The theme for this table is the Nutcracker Suite with the extra large wooden nutcracker, large metal Christmas tree and sugar plums. I used the navy woven vinyl runner for this table, artificial greenery, wooden bead garland and extra large pine cones to anchor the ends of the runner. The place settings consist of whiteContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Six”

This is my seasons greetings from the seashore table. I started the look with a navy woven vinyl table runner topped with a large rustic glass and steel lantern, two aqua glass and metal lanterns, and two small black metal and glass lanterns. (Lanterns are another of my go-to items when creating a tablescape–they addContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Five”

This is my Hark the Herald Angels Sing table. Again, I have used the two white runners with the silver leaves. I have topped those with white porcelain angels and two of the angels have containers built into them which I filled with silver bead garland. (By the way, I found all these angels atContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Four”

For this table I pulled out all my crystal candle sticks and dramatic white tapers and created a dazzling silver and gold themed table. Here I used a pair of 72″ white table runners covered with a silver leaf pattern, artificial greenery, gold berry picks, and Christopher Radko “shiny brite” garland with blues, silvers, andContinue reading “The 12 Days of Holiday Tables–Day Three”
