One of my favorite rooms to decorate during Christmas is my dining room. I try to do something new in here every year. This year, I teamed up with Hobby Lobby to help change things up a bit. There's no question that I'm a big Hobby Lobby fan, you would know if you read through my posts :) As I was wondering through the aisles (which takes hours by the way), I decided to go with a non-traditional theme. So, I ditched the reds and golds and opted for greenery, wood, and nature...albeit, faux nature in some cases...to bring this look together.
Here's my haul. You should have seen me walking out of there with all the bags! :)
But, it came together perfectly! In the video posted at the bottom, you can see my process in decorating everything.
TABLESCAPE
I found this amazing lantern on display at my local Hobby Lobby store and fell in love it. I bought it a few weeks ago and had it sitting on my table with too many ideas on what to do with it.
I knew I wanted something climbing up it, so when I found these pine tree and pine cone stems I knew they were perfect for my idea.
I bent the end part of the stems, placed the none decorated part underneath the lantern, and 'climbed' them up two of the sides.
When I decorate my tablescape, I like to use the tiered approach by starting high in the middle and gradually getting smaller towards the ends. I accomplished this with these candlesticks, also from Hobby Lobby. They are in two heights, two on each side of the lantern.
To add some filler, I used some more faux green stems and pine cones coming from underneath the lantern towards the candlesticks.
I've started to collect bread boards recently, so when I found this one I knew it belonged on the tablescape.
I bought a bag of potpourri that was full of these beautiful pine cones, cinnamon sticks, and wood slices. I placed them along the table runner and the bread board.
For the inside of the lantern, I put already burnt candles. I liked the already burnt look because it showed a little age and rustic-ness.
PLACE SETTINGS
I like to keep it pretty simple as far as place settings go. We are a really casual family so they rarely come out if at all. So, when they do, I don't want make a fuss with them.
I used my normal chargers, round plates, and alternating bowls for the main pieces.
I then placed these cute greyish blue ticking napkins in between the dishes.
And topped off each bowl with a place card holder. I made the name tags out of frayed ribbon and glued some card stock on the back to give it more stiffness.
I love that the napkins match the ticking table runner. It gives it a wonderfully cohesive look.
Even though I have a lot of greenery in here and it sometimes feels like a botanical garden, I love the look. It's like bringing nature inside and looks super organic.
OTHER DECORATING IDEAS
I like to switch out my pillows for every season, and found these perfect plaid pillow covers at Hobby Lobby also. They are kind of like a soft sweater material. I put one on each chair at the end of the table.
Dried lavender used to hang on my gallery wall behind the table, but since I didn't feel that quite fit the look I was going for, I changed them out for hanging pine cones instead.
I simple took some jute, knotted it on one end, tied the loose end into a bow and then glued the bow onto the stem of the pine cone. I finished it off with a faux evergreen stem.
I'm still loving the faux beams I have in here. I think I love them so much that one day soon I'll be making them a little chunkier and more substantial.
