Simple Style for Your Home and Life

Holiday Open House with 11 Magnolia Lane: Christmas Table & Dining Room

on December 6, 2014 in Christmas Decorating/ Features/ Home Decor/ Home Tour 13

Happy weekend you guys!

Today I’m joining some lovely ladies and opening up a part of my home today for the Holiday Open House!

11 Magnolia Lane is our gracious host and has put together an awesome group of bloggers to participate in this fun home tour. I can’t wait to accept my invite and visit all of the lovely homes!

Today I’m sharing my Christmas table and dining room with you and a few sneak peeks of more holiday decorating to come.

If you are new here, welcome, and I will let you in on a little secret…okay it’s no secret :) I love everything nautical and coastal and I definitely wanted to incorporate that into my holiday decorating again this year!

I found this porthole ice bucket at our Habitat Restore and I love how it worked so well with our nautical theme.

All of the fabric is also a Restore find ($1 per yard) and it’s so vibrant that I kept the rest of the decor simple with a few trimmings from our tree and my gold striped candles.

Oh and I just learned how to create bokeh with my DSLR and I think I’m addicted :) I’m convinced this is why twinkly Christmas lights exist!

I’m no seamstress so I cut all of the fabric for the placemats and napkins and “hemmed” them with some fabric tape.

I love how all of the colors and patterns work together!

I don’t really know how the table came together, it just sort of evolved, but I fell in love with the old school floral fabric and thought it would be a great back drop for the navy, gold and polka dots.

I hope to have a tutorial for these DIY confetti glass soon because they are so easy! Definitely one of my favorite hostess gifts AND you can even put them in the dishwasher!!!

The classic blue and white plates were my Granny’s and I used a simple oyster shell at each setting.

Our family doesn’t have a traditional Christmas dinner that has to be the same each year but we always have breakfast casserole in our pj’s after the kids open presents. We have a fabulous family recipe that I hope to share with you some time in the next week or two!

What is your family’s holiday meal or tradition?

If you missed our last minute chalkboard advent calendar you can find it here.

The “new to me” glass cabinet holds glassware for entertaining in our small dining room!
