Christmas Dining Room

Today I am sharing my dinning room dressed for Christmas.  I did not add much to this room, just a few seasonal touches.  The Anna Lee elves hanging from the chandy is such a fun touch and always gets many comments.

Look at their sweet little faces...they love to hang around and cause mischief.

On the table is a couple of candlesticks with gold glitter candles and rusty angel wings.

And  a large platter filled with faux sugared fruit, greenery and gold ribbon.

Over on the buffet is a golden reindeer, cloche with a winter scene and a large tea light holder. Sorry about the glare - I have yet to figure out how to take a picture without the glare from glass. I would love to here your tips, please!

Here is the cloche...

Over on the chocolate table is a mini cloche,  poinsetta and a little arrangement that matches the Bombay Christmas tree that is in the foyer.

Here is looking into the dining room from the foyer.



I have kept the whole house very simple this year since the best guys in the whole world did the decorations under my direction.  I hope you enjoyed the look at our dinning room dressed for the season.  I have really enjoyed visiting all your homes this week.

Using those thrifty finds

Hello!  You may remember me finding these fabulous iron candle sconces.  One was rusty, one not.  I ended up putting the not rusty one outside to let nature take its course.  After a month it was ready to find its place in my dinning room.  You can see here the sconces I replaced.

I added the teardrop crystals to give it a little glamour. I think it looks so pretty with the light casting showdows off the crystals.  Here is a close up.

Now a picture of  the other one.  Swoon...love, love them!  I normally do not go for a rusty look, so this is totally different then anything I have done in  my home.

Just another view.  I don't know why the chair rail looks so wonky. Maybe it is my lack of skill at picture taking.

I have at least six projects to work on right now.  The really bad thing is none would take over an hour to complete!  Off to work on a quick project!
