Simple Red and White Christmas Table

I love seeing pretty Christmas tables.  I love gingham and plaid fabrics, especially in red.

Yesterday I was on a mission to find some dishes to go with some square white plates that I already had.  I was so excited to find these snowman plates from Pier 1.  They were exactly what I'd had in mind and were on sale to boot!

I used my Mom's silver, which I am so happy to have. 

I was thrilled to find the gingham napkins, pretty bell napkin rings and plaid placemats at Pier 1 as well.

Even though we always sit in the same places at our table, I think the placecard holders are cute.

I used  a Santa that was my Mom's for the centerpiece and poinsettias in galvanized pots.

I'm trying to simplify my decorating this year.  I like how this  looks festive and was easy to do. 

Thanks so much for your visit!

Simple Spring Table

I am so excited for nice weather to arrive!  It's been beautiful here for the past few days, but snow is forecast again next week, so we're not quite there yet. 

In the meantime, I can make my dining room feel like spring.

I started with white dinner plates and added these yellow salad plates from Pier 1.  I found the plaid napkins at HomeGoods.  The napkin rings were an eBay purchase a few years ago. 

The tulips and daffodils are looking so pretty.  I'm excited that this picture shows the sky at "Blue Hour".  I learned about that from  Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch.

Our dining room is the first room you see when you walk in.  It's so fun to see the spring colors in here! 

Thank you for your visit!  Happy Spring!!

Home Goods and Pier 1 Happy

I love shopping at Home Goods and Pier 1.  Last week I was in Home Goods and found this pretty wreath.  I love the springy look of it.

I also found this great big blue vase.  I love the color, love the size and the texture of the jute around the top.

I like that these items add a little interest to the corner behind the couch.

I love these carrots that I found at Pier 1. 

Here is a picture of our back patio from this morning.  I'm thinking that a backyard party is out of the question for a bit...

Thanks for your visit!  For those of you able to garden right now, I am officially jealous!
