Tania Sinel: tablescape ideas for Christmas

The second room decorated for Christmas is our dining room!

This year I kept with the light and bright theme, using a lot of white, but adding in some pink!

I turned to Molbaks for my table settings and decor, as well as decor for the sideboard.

I used the same plates from my hot cocoa and dessert party that you saw here.

They are very versatile and I loved them so much, I had to use them again.

I wanted kind of a whimsical, magical look, so I actually used white battery operated Christmas tree house ornaments, in groupings. You can create interest doing this by using cake plates and pedestals to add dimension.

I also added in a bit of blush pink, my new favorite color, and a punch of raspberry pink.

I picked up these adorable bottle brush trees while shopping at Molbaks and not only do they have a vintage feel, but the color is just gorgeous.

I combined a faux garland with fresh cedar clippings to the length of the sideboard, as well as a few cedar sprigs to the table.

The tables centerpiece is a reflection of the vignette on the sideboard. More mini Christmas tree house ornaments, {I simply cut the hanger off} a sweet little deer, and a grouping of mini Christmas trees with white "frost" placed in white containers from Molbaks.

Have you ever thought about using ornaments as place card holders? It's a simple way to add that extra something special, as well as giving your guest a gift to take home with them.
