Setting your table for Christmas

I love Christmas and was lucky to grow up with a mom who went all out to make our house festive for holidays, but Christmas was my favorite by far. Garland, carolers and white lights adorned each fire place and we had two Christmas trees - the kids tree in the kitchen (including ornaments made by me and my brother) and the "designer" tree as I like to call it. One year, my mom put red roses on the tree - we had to put every single flower in a little vile of water to keep it alive. But, it was beautiful. (We only did that one year!). And to this day, the dining room is always set well in advance with beautiful napkin rings, china and flowers. I wanted to share some table settings I found online, I hope you have a festive holiday season!

I think this table is a lot of fun and great for a house in Vermont or out west. Table by Carolyn Roehme and posted on homeworkshop.com.















Country Living has a great slide show of centerpieces and table settings online.





































While not a table, I love this banister from Coastal Living.




















Some place card holders from Crate & Barrel.
