Hello everyone!
Today I'd like to share what I've done in the Dinning Room for Christmas. We won't be hosting this year so I kept it simple and tried to make it mix with the adjoining Living Room.
For the table centerpiece I kept things simple with a silver platter filled with candles and things that sparkle.
For me, the star of the show is this vintage Christmas tablecloth.
I found it at the Junk Bonanza in September and have been waiting patiently to use it ever since.
Truth be told I'm not 100% positive this sort of thing fits into the style I'd like to go but one look at the gorgeous images and I was hooked. I swear I remember my Grandmother having something similar when I was little so it makes me think of her. Plus the kids think it's cool so that makes it a keeper.
Behind the table on the shelf I have arranged my collection of vintage and new deer.
(I've talked about this in a previous post, here, if you want to take a look)
The cabin I painted and distressed then added the wreath and deer.
Newly purchased deer figures and bottle brush trees mix with . . .
My collection of vintage deer.
Somehow they always make me smile.
I love the way they pop out against all the white.
To the side of the table I've displayed a mix of old and new decorations on the old desk.
A tiny tree with white snowflakes . . .
Sits underneath the book page wreath I made two years ago which I still love and look forward to using during the winter months.
Next to the tree is a cute sparkling white deer which has stolen my heart.
And of course I had to thrown in a glitter house of some kind. This one is actually an ornament, which fits nicely inside the small cake stand.
And finally, in the corner the piano bench received a pop of red with some pillows and a dish towel used as a runner. I added two lantern for fun since I can't get enough of candlelight this time of year.
The dish towel is a couple years old but it has a vintage vibe which I love. Aren't the snowman couple adorable?
Hope you enjoyed the tour,
Robin

Everything is so adorable. You like the same things I do! I have deer and vintage items throughout my house! I feel like rearranging some things after seeing what you've done! Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the shelf filled with your wonderful assortment of deer. Living on the edge of a national forest, I'm inspired to start such a collection myself -- in tribute to all the real ones that visit us here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the fun at Time Travel Thursday.
