Our dining room only has 2 walls and is open to the living room. We rarely use this space but it is always fun to decorate.
A few years ago I painted this inexpensive gold tray and it sits on the table in the dining room. It was the inspiration for my tree this year
I painted a few ornaments to match and tied some greenery picks to plaid bows:
Our 25 year old "pencil" tree fits perfectly in the corner and I only had to move one chair! I bought the large gold pinecones at the "Barn Sale" for only $5 ea this past summer!
The tray is simply decorated with a Santa, a large checked floral Mackenzie-Childs pick and some mercury glass lights:
I added lots of gold ornaments, some Parchment bows, and gold curly-Qs:
I wanted to "lighten up" the area a little more ....
...so I added a table runner to the side table and a table cloth....
...and the reversible table band I made a few years ago (original post HERE):
And this Santa greets all my guests!
Oh my gosh that table band you made is fabulous! Love the ornaments you painted and the tray. The tree looks wonderful and I like how you embellished the tray. Very pretty and festive!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful - I bet its even prettier at night with twinkling lights!
ReplyDeletePatti, I love the fresh look of all this. The table band is amazing. I admire your multiple skills. You are one talented gal! You have everything decorated perfectly. Now you can sit back and enjoy the season.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring downsized living, Patti! I love that look. That table cloth with reversible band is a favorite. The tree looks great in parchment.
