Hello World! Welcome Friends! I am SO excited to share with you our first Christmas post featuring The Dining Room! In addition, I am taking part in a Fabulous Christmas Tour: Christmas Cheer Holiday Hop! All of the sites that are participating will be listed below at the end of the post.
Welcome to the Dining Room
The day I took photos, the sun was pouring in; which made the photos very shimmery. I like shimmery!
I’m currently saving for new dining room furniture. I’ve been looking, but I haven’t landed on anything that is perfect.
The tree is decked out in blue, white and silver. Everything I had on hand except for the blue poinsettias. I found those in the floral department at Hobby Lobby.
The old entertainment center that was in my Office is temporarily residing in the Dining Room. It is extremely heavy and needs some love on the interior. I may just put it out in the garage for extra storage.
Beyond the table, a little Christmas has appeared in the Entry Hall.
This is the china hutch that goes with the dining table.
Spode Blue Italian is on the table.
A simple, but elegant setting.
Later this week, I will share our daughter’s Retro White Christmas Tree. It’s such a fun tree!
Now, off you go to visit all of the other ladies and their Christmas Decor and Food!

Kathryn your tree in the dining room is stunning. Love the blue and white plates so much. Those are gorgeous. Everything is just beautiful.

Awe, thank you, Kris. It was fun to put together.
Andrea says
What a pretty blue table. I love the transferware and all of the blue balls. Also can’t look past the green back in your hutch. Really pretty. Thanks for being in the hop today.

Thank you, Andrea! I have yet to tire of the green in the hutch. It’s just such a happy color.
Penny Phillips says
Hi Kathryn, If you intended for your tree to be the star of the dining room, you have certainly succeeded. It is gorgeous! I agree with Andrea, the green back in your hutch is just the pop of color you needed to make your dining room outstanding

Thank you, Penny! I definitely enjoyed decorating this tree. Now, I need to get busy and finish the other trees. LOL
CoCo says
Your dining room is so beautiful, Kathryn! I love all the different shades of blues and silvers you used on your trees and the pop of green in your hutch is perfect against all your blue and white pieces too. It all looks positively magical! Hope the holidays are a special one this year. Loving and pinning, CoCo

Wow, I love the blues and silvers – so classy and goes with anything. I even think you could leave some of this all winter long if you wanted (I love when you can leave decorations up for a season). Thanks for hopping with us!

Kathryn, How beautiful your table is! I absolutely love the centerpiece of the tiered cake plates loaded down with ornaments! The sparkling beaded napkin rings just add to the beauty of your tabletop! I love that your tree is right there in the corner of your dining room! It must be lovely to sit in there and enjoy a meal with the lights of the tree glimmering nearby! It has been a pleasure to hop with you! Merry Christmas!
thededicatedhouse@gmail.com says
That is high praise indeed coming from the Queen of tablescapes and centerpieces! Thank you! My daughter is ready to have a special dinner in the dining room. She said she might even dress up for the occasion! LOL. Have a Merry Christmas!
