Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Styled + Set Christmas Entertaining

November 29, 2017 our home

I will show you how a styled + set Christmas entertaining table can be easy to do.

Dining room table set for a Christmas dinner.

Hello friends and welcome to this season’s, Styled + Set Christmas Entertaining Tour hosted by my very talented friend Lory at Designthusiasm. A big welcome to those of you who are visiting from Laura at Finding Home Farms! I am so glad to have you here with me today and I hope that this post provides a little inspiration for the upcoming holidays!

White roses, a pomegranate and wine glasses on the table.

When thinking about entertaining during the Christmas season, so many things come to mind! Such as delicious meals, many sweet treats or baked goods and gathering around it all with loved ones.

A large wooden beaded chandelier above the dining room table.

Preparing for these get togethers can seem overwhelming if I let it ;), through the years I have tried to find ways to remember the reason for it all and let that guide the rest. Of course making things as simple as can be doesn’t hurt either, haha.

A light green wine glass beside a clear wine glass.

A casually elegant table doesn’t have to be loads of work though. One of my favorite and most inexpensive ways to dress up a table is to change out the “accessories”… 

White faux fur on the dining room table bench.

When I say accessories, I am talking about the glasses, the napkins, the runner and the flowers.

Lit candles on the table beside the wine glasses.

For this tablescape, I purchased these six (green) wine glasses at the dollar store for a total of 6 dollars! Combined with my nicer dishes and flatware, they were a bargain to pull it all together

A decorated styled and set Christmas table with a large window behind the table.

I also purchased some festive fabric napkins (at our local HomeGoods). I am loving the red this season in our home, so I wanted to incorporate it on the table as well.

Plaid table runner, white plates, gold and white cutlery and white roses on the table.

And lastly, I couldn’t resist mixing the plaid napkins with this moody floral runner. It was the statement piece and I loved how it brought a romantic vibe to the decor. Do mix and match your pieces whether that be dishes, patterns or metals. Mix and matching is another inexpensive way to make your table as you can thrift items and use what you already have.

Nothing compares to the ambience of candlelight, so do always try to incorporate real or faux candles somehow on the table.

Roses are a timeless flower and can be used any time or season! They are perfect for the summer, fall and white roses make such a statement during Christmas. They are striking against the red.

Wine glasses, drinking glasses and a pomegranate on the table.

Use bowls to hold arrangements! Here I used this ceramic bowl to house the flowers and varieties of floral greenery. I added a few pinecones and pomegranate to finish it off.

And with Christmas trees stealing the show this time of year, tablescapes can just accentuate the whole scene ;)!

Thanks so much for coming here today and I appreciate you taking time to visit.

    Annie, your table is so pretty! I’m loving the red in your home this year, and the plaid napkins just make the whole thing! You can never go wrong with plaid at Christmas!

    So happy to be “hopping” with you again!

    Merry Christmas!

Wife and Mama decorating and cooking with some DIY too. Sharing my story one project and room at a time | zevyjoy@gmail.com|

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
