Welcome to The Tablescaper.
As that special day gets closer…
…the planning begins.
Every meal at Christmas…
…is special.
So every meal gets that extra bit of attention.
The inspiration for this table began…
…with this runner. It has a new take on those traditional Christmas colors.
The angels that adorn my staircase were borrowed for the table.
And then the layering began – a little ramekin from Target with a a golden ornament from Christmas Tree;
new Mary Carol plates purchased this summer at Christmas Tree;
good ‘ole Dollar Tree dinner plates;
my glorious Villeroy & Boch chargers;
…all upon a placemat from Christmas Tree.
Vintage candle stick holders that were my grandparents.
The golden bowl from HomeGoods was filled with vintage ornaments…
…many of which were on my Dad’s tree when he was a child.
The napkins from HomeGoods have been used several times.
The flatware from JC Penney’s.
This is one of my favorite kinds of tables – filled with high end and dollar store!
Hope you’re having fun…
…planning your special tables!
Tip: Mix things up a bit. Try a different shade of a traditional holiday color. Here I used an olive green, rather than the more traditional hunter. Also, borrow décor from other parts of your home.

Green and gold are perfect for the holidays. It is such a lovely table. I love the ne Mary Carol plates and the VB chargers that are absolutely favulous. Love the baubles in the HG bowl too. Love the high end and the less expensive combined too. Joni

This is a beautiful table and my favorite shot is the golden bowl from Home Goods filled with ornaments.
It ALL looks high end to me! Love green and gold for Christmas, and you have done it beautifully!
Such a pretty table! The elements and layers work together beautifully!
Your runner is so pretty, I can see lots of possibilities for that in any season. Such an eclectic mix of materials here, but you made it work perfectly!
