Christmas Day Dinner

Today I am participating in Tablescape Thursday

with Susan

  at Between Naps On The Porch.

Thank you for all of the inspiration, Susan. 

 

This photo was taken before I arranged the chairs to include the arm chairs.

 

 

The table color scheme was white, red and silver.

 

 

I added fresh cranberries and white roses to my cut glass rose bowl.

Your table is wonderful. I just love the red and white theme. The runner just makes the whole table pop! The napkins are great too. The rose centerpiece is perfect for the whole table. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a very Happy New Year!

May I be the 2nd person to tell you how beautiful your dining room table looks with your red, white and touch of my favorite pink Christmas Plates. Your Christmas tablescape is stunning. The dining room is beautiful with your lovely built-ins as well. Christmas is so beautifully represented with the flowers in the bowl with cranberries. The red beads top everything off in such a perfect way. In short...I love what you did!!!

Love you too,
Jeanne

HA! May I be the 9th person to comment. I'm laughing here, I honestly did not see all of your lovely comments until after I hit publish. I was half asleep in my defense, which isn't much of a defense but true.

So I will say goodnight my dearest friend.
Jeanne, again xoxoxo

I've always loved the Johnson Brothers Christmas plates. You've created a beautiful tablescape with them. I'm drooling over all your wonderful storage on the wall behind the table. Wow! Thank you for inviting us for a peak. Happy New Year! Cherry Kay

Hi, Beverly! I think this is my first visit to your blog. I'm visiting from Susan's BNOTP. You created a lovely table. I'm a big fan of cranberries for winter decorating! I must tell you, though, that I just screamed (as best I could with my sore throat) for my husband to get up here and look at your dining room. Your built-ins are the exact picture of what I've been trying to get him to understand what I want to do in our dining room! He just wasn't understading it, and I couldn't properly communicate it. When I clicked on your post and saw yours, I just about dropped to the floor!!! Were those a part of the original house, or did you have them added? I just think having built-ins like that would solve a whole lot of issues I'm forced to contend with in there. It would create storage/display space clear to the top, provide a lot more storage & display space overall since it would go clear across the wall more or less, and I think it would actually make our space look larger than the current buffet we have. What is on the far left of the built-ins that is not in the photos? Is there a door there or another wall? I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but I have hit pay dirt here!!!!! :-) :-) :-)

Hi Beverly, This is my first visit to your blog and I'm new to BNOTP and am in tablescape heaven!! Very impressed with your Christmas scape--it is absolutely lovely! And your dining room is beautiful! I love your red damask runner and your china. I'm a big fan of incorporating cranberries too :) Look forward to exchanging more tablescapes with you in the future!
