Last Minute Table Setting!

December 23, 2018

My holiday table is always a last minute scramble.  A mad search to find all of my stuff.  Hidden somewhere (by me) in the back of a closet or in a bin in the basement.

p1000852I did a a tablescape for a fun local event with some great designers and am using the photos as inspiration for my holiday table this year….. but

where is all of my STUFF?

I agonized over my design for this event ~ digging around my house, stores and Pinterest for ideas.

Ultimately, I (sort of) pulled it together.  Here are some of the beautiful tablescapes my fellow designers did.

Some of the tables were set for a meal, while others were based on creative concepts like Cocktails in the Library, Ski Holiday, or Christmas in Virginia.

Doesn’t this get you in the holiday mood?

p1000886
I went with a red and white motif for my table of two.

p1000862  p1000899
I had a tablecloth and napkins made from a bright Duralee fabric.  Two little myrtle topiaries were my touch of green.

p1000863  p1000873
Martinis and chocolate, just my type of dinner!

p1000897
I found the little plaid plates and the dachshund salt & pepper shakers at Target.

p1000864
Juliska dinner plates and my great-grandmothers silver.

p1000857
Smith & Hawken shaved wood red tree in the middle of the table.

p1000865
My favorite stemless crystal wine glasses.

It was a lot of fun designing for this event, but now I have to get my table set asap because ~ Christmas Eve!

 


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ~ see you in 2019!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
