Colorful Christmas Tablescape

December 15, 2014 By Dusty Rogers 16 Comments

Today I’m joining the very lovely Jen Woodhouse from The House of Wood – along with some insanely talented bloggers (see them all below) – for Jen’s 12 Days of Christmas Tablescapes tour!  I have the honor of being Day 6 on the tour, and am so thrilled you’re stopping by!  I hope you brought your appetite for color and a love of wine, because today I’m serving up both.  Pull up a chair and enjoy!

If you checked out my 2014 Holiday Home Tour you may have noticed I’ve got a thing this year for yarn.  Since it’s already scattered throughout my holiday home I decided to bring it to our holiday table as well!

I started with these DIY yarn-wrapped Christmas trees, grouped together to make a centerpiece:

I propped them up on a white cake stand, and covered the base with my favorite bay leaf garland that I found at Pottery Barn a few years ago.

For the place settings, I started with chalkboard placemats that I found at Target and added my white crisscross china.  These dishes were a gift from my mom years ago and I love that they go with anything.  I added a crisp white napkin to match the tablecloth and topped it all with a whimsical place card:

For the place card holders, I started with chalkboard circles pulled off of a strand of chalkboard garland, and lettered them with each person’s name using this chalkboard lettering tutorial.  Next, I made some mini DIY pom pom garland out of yarn, and strung them on a strand of white yarn and through the loops of the chalkboard circle.  I love the fun little pops of color they add to the table!

To finish off my colorful Christmas tablescape, I wrapped the stems of each wine glass in colorful yarn.

Shortly after our daughter Kate was born we sold our formal dining table and turned that space into a play area for her, so now all of our dining happens in the eat-in section of our kitchen. Here’s a full look at that space:

To the left of our table is an IKEA dresser I “hacked” to turn into a kitchen sideboard. I decorated the top of it with some family photos from past Christmases and more bay leaf garland that matches the tablescape centerpiece. Lastly, I gave the lampshades a temporary holiday hue by wrapping them with red cable knit scarves.

To the right of our table is another chalkboard that I lettered with the same font as our place cards. I added a fun, festive holiday greeting that all the wine lovers will enjoy! The sign hangs over “Mommy’s Advent Calendar” (a.k.a. my wine rack) with wine bottles labeled for a countdown to Christmas!

I hope you enjoyed this stop on the 12 Days of Christmas Tablescapes Tour!  There is seriously so much talent exploding from this tour that I can’t even believe I got asked to be a part of it!

(I’m pretty sure I only get invited to things because they know I’ll bring wine.)

Please take a few moments to check out tablescapes 1-5 that have been posted so far, and then continue clicking through tomorrow until December 23rd to visit stops 7-12 (links below)!

    Your table is so much fun! Just like you. :) I LOVE the whimsical yarn touches – I totally thought you’d painted the wine glass stems, but using yarn to infuse color to your tablescape? Genius. Thanks again for joining us on our little tour – I know I can count on you to bring the party. xo

    So fun and unique! I would have never thought to incorporate so much color, but I absolutely love it! Glad to see we aren’t the only ones without a formal dining room table 😉

      Thank you so much, Elisha! We’re definitely proof that an eat-in kitchen can be equally fabulous. :)

    I love this! It’s so fun and colorful (everything I’m not, yep I’m boring and neutral) but I love it. You would just have to smile sitting at this table.
    Hugs, Jamie
