Our Dining Space at Christmas

Hello, and how are you?

I had some fun shaking things up a bit with my holiday decorating this year. We were a little slow due to finishing the table and something else, which I'll share in my next post. I thought I'd start with our dining area. Since we have no formal dining room this space opens up into our great room, so I try to decorate it in such a way that it all flows together, and use a lot of (fake) greenery throughout. We wanted to keep it casual, so here goes!

Now you see where those old rakes went.

And in between them is the ladder

that I featured in this post...

Over the sideboard I put up the old frame

that usually sits in our entryway,

and added a wreath that I have had for a 

few years...

I had some fun with the glittery deer garland,

recently purchased on Etsy...

Since we took down all of our 

way-too-formal curtains,

and have not yet decided what will 

replace them, 

we added a garland around the

sliding glass door...

Some greenery on the table,

along with the same candles I used

during the Thanksgiving season...

When I saw the little burlap-covered snowflake ornaments,

I couldn't resist hanging them on the backs of the new

(old) chairs.

The thin burlap ribbon found at Michael's was great...

Do you remember the rakes,

also seen above,

 that I featured here?

They were way too beautiful

to stay outside.

Only normal people use rakes

for their intended purpose!...

Thanks so much for visiting me today!

How are you coming along with your 

seasonal decorating?
