Christmas House Tour: Dining Room

This year I decided to go with black and white for the dining room
in honor of my new black light fixture and newly painted black chairs.

White quilt, black tray with white cyclamen flowers, black and white napkins.

White candles in hurricanes, tied with black and white fabric and stars.

And little wreaths tied onto the head chairs with black and white ribbon.






On the Welsh dresser, I went with a simple nativity inside a cloche
and silver vases with white candles.





The other side of the room also gets a little Christmas flair.

Once I started to set the table for Christmas dinner, I decided to change 

the white quilt and traded it out for a black and white tablecloth:

 More food-friendly!

I also decided to add a bit of color with the red napkins.

And this was the first year we did a kid's table:

Fall Tour Complete, I Promise!

This will be the last post on Fall Decorating
as we move on from the living room, into the dining and family rooms!

 This is where I start to add a little color with pumpkins and gourds,

but I still keep a lot of white.

 

 More of my music sheet leaf garland works well with all my white dishes.

 

 I started with a banner as well, but decided it was too busy,

so it was moved into the family room.

 

 I love to use chalkboards, so I added one to the top

of the Welsh Dresser,

 

 and I always keep this one on the door.

 

 This year's basket of gourds, corn and pumpkins.

 The family room is already full of fall colors,

so not much needed in here!

 I like the banner much better over the window.

 Lots of pillows!

And some more random shots:

Happy Fall!
