It’s that time of year again, time to deck the halls. If you are like me, you deck every room in your house. I really enjoy decorating for the holidays even though it may not always seem that way when doing it. The results are always worth the craziness and mess. I think I am covered in glitter for months.
My dining room is my favorite room to decorate. You have so many options in which to decorate the table. I tend to do a different color scheme or theme in each room. A snowy, sparkling winter wonderland was my theme this year. A furry table runner was the starting point. Adding a sleigh, hurricanes with gold candles, and the various trees give the long table some height. I like to add little touches like pearls and crystal jewels. It just adds to the sparkle. Ornaments and deer finish off the tablescape. A proper place setting always looks beautiful on a table. I found all of these chargers and dinner plates at DollarTree. The smaller plates were from Pier 1 They are perfect. Adding a spring of greenery around a napkin brings a little bit of a natural element in.
To finish the room I display my collection of Spode dishes on a table. I created a new wreath with an antler wooden cutout from Initial Outfitters by Carrie. I painted it in holographic paint added it to a wreath with a few accessories and hung it in a window. There is also a small strand of lights in it and when it is lit the holographic paint really sparkles. I hung another banner in the other window as well. My china cabinet is decked out with a pretty garland. A beautiful joy sign to remind us to be joyful this season and ornaments, pearls, and jewels complete the look.
The dining room really comes alive at night with the lights off and just the glow of all of the candles and accent lighting. It really is beautiful. Happy decorating.
