Deck the Halls – The Dining Room

December 9, 2011 by Amber Filed Under: deck the halls Leave a Comment

It’s time again to show another part of our home that is all decked for the holidays! Today, it’s the dining room… Here are a few shots of our dining table and chandelier makeover:

I like to keep the decorations pretty simple, so it’s not a stressful experience! On pinterest, I recently saw ball ornaments placed inside a cloche for display. I loved the idea, because I collect cloches and had a couple just laying around! So, I placed the ornament balls inside and put them on my wooden display stool for a elegant, rustic touch. I then used my red holiday plate underneath, for added depth and interest. I placed it all inside a large basket and added the table runner! Pretty easy!
For the chandelier, I used some beaded garland my mom found a few years ago at our local grocery store and attached small ball ornaments with wreath wire. I also did this chandelier display last year and was able to get away with keeping the ornaments on the garland. So, putting them up this season was super fast and easy. I just had to weave the garland around each candle bulb!

So there you have it- fast and easy! What are your holiday decor plans?
Or are you completely on the ball and already finished??? (I’m not!)  🙂

I am linking up this post to Michaela’s blog party!

Now that the ladder has been relocated to the family room, this corner is definitely in need of some height. I almost went with the idea of a tree and while I love it in other homes, I just didn’t see it here. So I went on Pinterest in search of inspiration and @studiomcgee to the rescue! I love the idea of a pedestal with a vase and maybe some branches, instead of a tree. I can switch up the accessories on the pedestal and I think it’s the winner! Inspiration in the next slide. #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving

It breathes new life into a space, even with subtle touches. I switched the living room and family room table lamps and I like the larger scale lamp in here! I have fun plans for the living room, which I’ll share soon. Happy Friday!! #amberbdesignathome #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #coastalliving

This year, we had it to the left of the television and I really feel like that space is now so empty. I tried the living room ladder in its place and I love it! But the living room needs it there too. What to do?! Maybe a tall plant in one of the spaces?! Two ladders within feet of each other?! 😂 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #SMmakelifebeautiful #loveyourhabitat #bhghome
