As a start to the holiday season I have decided to give a tour of my house- room by room- and decorated for both Christmas and my two boys (i.e. their toys everywhere;)
First- my dining room- which is under construction still (waiting for molding) but I decided it shouldn’t be left out! And really consists of a fun Christmas table-scape. I love the idea of layering fabrics- but it’s not always easy. But sometimes the only way to find out is the just give it a try! I love polka dots, stripes, patterns- and this room being fairly simple seemed like the right place to just pile it all on.
I love my striped runner- but wanted to tone it down a bit so I layered it with a pretty shimmery silver one that also played off of my mercury glass candle sticks- then I layered my polka dot plates with simple white- and threw in some greenery to break up the red. As a last minute addition, I threw in some throw pillows- not really meant for Christmas- but that’s why I like them- I like it to look festive but not too much like a holiday store threw up all over the place!;)
So here you have it- the first taste of Christmas when you walk into my house and I think it is nicely festive-
can’t wait to get that molding up and share that!
Next will be the Christmas Mantel!

Yay! You’re back. I was missing reading all about your latest!
When I read this, I wasn’t sure about how the polka dots and stripes sounded, especially for Christmas, but the pics definitely convinced me! Looks yummy!
Mix and match everything- you are speaking my language!! Those polka dot plates are too too cute. This is a great table!
So pretty! Very festive looking
Beautiful and festive. It inspired me to get out my Christmas dishes and set the table.
