I have had these little cardboard houses for years and finally put them together for this table. It’s a really simple centerpiece–just the 3 houses and the church, along with some mercury glass and porcelain trees, and a couple strands of shiny brite glass garland in pale blues, golds, and white. So serene, like aContinue reading “Silent Night”

A Non-Traditional Table
I was looking at my Dansk Lemon Zest dinner plates the other day, and I thought that I could make a holiday table with them–they have red (ish) and greens in them. So I went to Target and found some cute bottle brush trees in the perfect pink to go with the plates. I setContinue reading “A Non-Traditional Table”
Just Like Grandma Used to Make
This table is so homey that it feels like a hug from Grandma. I started with the same plaid throw and then used faux greenery and pinecones and a big candle in a rustic metal dish. The place settings are Churchill Blue Willow and Hazel Atlas Big Top Peanut Butter Iced Tea glasses that IContinue reading “Just Like Grandma Used to Make”
Candy Cane Lane
I bought this fantastic plaid throw after Christmas last year and I knew when I bought it that I would use it for a holiday table. I may do more with this as the base, but here’s what I did today. I started with 2 fantastic candy striped candles that I found at an estateContinue reading “Candy Cane Lane”
And a Partridge in a Pear Tree
This is a riff on one of the tables I did for the tablescaping class. I started with the quail and added the faux pine greenery, a brass centerpiece bowl of pine cones, faux sugared pears, and real pomegranates and chestnuts. The place settings are RAK buffet plates and Pier One MacIntosh rimmed soup bowlsContinue reading “And a Partridge in a Pear Tree”
Minimalist Christmas
I did a Halloween table with the same dishes and glassware. This is a minimalist holiday table. The centerpiece is simple with a row of artificial fir trees in white pots and black lanterns. The place settings are “Anniversarie” dinner plates by Santa Anita, and “Millbrook” coupe soup bowls and bread plates by Independence. TheContinue reading “Minimalist Christmas”
Holiday Table Ideas
During the COVID holidays, I challenged myself to come up with really cute/creative tablescapes using only items that I had in the house at the time. Here are some of my favorites from that series of posts. Toyland Table For this Toyland table design, I looked through the sweet toys that used to line theContinue reading “Holiday Table Ideas”
Christmas Table for the Tablescaping Class
The other Christmas table that I did for the class was all the vintage toys, so I decided to keep this one pretty simple and classic, and definitely more grown up. I started with a row of trees and black lanterns and then I added a beaded garland in red, green, and white and someContinue reading “Christmas Table for the Tablescaping Class”
Thanksgiving in the Barn
This is another table that I was practicing for my class. This was set up on a round table for the class, so everything was in more of a circle rather than being in a line. I started with a really great throw that had some colors that would work well with fall produce, soContinue reading “Thanksgiving in the Barn”
Tablescaping Class Thanksgiving Table–Woodland theme
If you’ve been following along, you know that my husband made me some oak log rounds that I like to use for tablescapes and so I used them for this table. These photos are from the practice rounds of table set-up so I could finalize what I needed to bring to the Museum Center. IContinue reading “Tablescaping Class Thanksgiving Table–Woodland theme”
