Red & White Christmas Tree

 In keeping with the red & white decor

in the dining room,

I decided to do up my Christmas tree

in the same theme.

I love my slim white tree!

It fits perfectly in the corner

and doesn't take up any space at all!

I used red ball ornaments.

Some shiny, some matte and some sparkly.

Red, white & gold garland and

bows and poinsettias.

 Birds and stars, they all worked for me.

And, of course, to go with my table,

red with white polka dots!

Even the gifts under the tree

get treated to red and white.

Mr. B helped by putting on the perfect

tree topper for my theme this year!

She really shines and I love the slight

red glow she casts into the dining room!

Do you have your tree up yet?

Do you change it out each year or keep it the same?

Red & White Santa Table

This year, in the dining room, I decided to go with 
a predominate red & white

theme, with a bit of a nod to Santa.
Cuz you all know,
I love Santa!

I started the table with a plain white table cloth.

I made the runner using red & white polka dotted 

wrapping paper I bought, on sale, from Hobby lobby.

I used a simple red charger and

layered a white thrift store Johnson's Bros dinner plate

and topped it off with a fun polka dotted

square salad plate, bought on clearance,

from Hobby Lobby.
(Love how they match the wrapping paper perfectly!)

Bright red napkins were folded to mimic

the Santa hats on each chair

and I simply added a cotton ball at the top.

I then placed the flatware in each napkin.

The snowflake stems came from Dollar Tree several years ago.

The little snowflake votives are from Yankee Candle.

For the centerpiece I used some

icy candle sticks from Kohl's,

added some epsom salts for snow,

and topped them off with a 

polka dotted ornament.

I also used my favorite mirror, added some red glittered ribbon to white 

candles and placed them all in the center of the table.

I sure hope when Santa visits
our home he likes the table I set 
with him in mind!
