Christmas In Our Dining Room


Hi again! I hope you all are having a great week. Earlier this week I shared our living room decorated for Christmas. (If you missed it you can see it here.) Today, I'm back again to share Christmas decorations in our dining room. 



I decorated our dining room with a woodland winter wonderland theme this year. 



I wanted to marry our woodland themed living room with some new white decorations I purchased and made.



Our new white porcelain deer found a home on the dining room table. (I just love them!)



And some new sparkly silver and white homemade decorations have settled into the corner cabinet.



 I made these glittered Putz houses (tutorial here), bleached some bottle brush trees, and made a pretty PEACE banner from twine and craft store letters. I tucked some little battery operated press-on lights in behind the houses to light each of the six scenes at night.




This is the first time I've decorated the old white pine corner cabinet. I just moved all the dishes to the candle cabinet, which is now empty. 

Where did the candles go?



Up here on the other side of the dining room! In the evening with the candles and corner cabinet all lit up, it really does look like a winter wonderland in our dining room. 



My pretty burlap JOY banner was created from a tutorial shared by the lovely 
Yvonne at Stone Gable



My husband built this cute little pine bench for us, and it's come in handy in every room of the house at one time or another. Here in the dining room it holds my chicken wire plate stand filled with branch tips cut from our Christmas tree, some pine cones, a few berries, and two little white trees.   



I just love baking and cooking in the kitchen while looking out at all the Christmas decorations in the dining room and living room.


Thank you for coming by today to see our winter wonderland dining room. Next up, I'll be sharing our family room, all cozy and cute and decked out for Christmas, so don't forget to stop by again later this week!


{Visit our Christmas living room and family room and kitchen, too!}

It's a great time to party!

  4. Laurel,
    I love the white and your Woodland Winter Wonderland Theme. I think you have completely captured the essence of
    the purity and gracefulness of the Winter Season.

  7. I have gone a little towards the woodland décor this year, too. Yours looks lovely.
    Would you mind letting me know where your ceramic deer were found. I have looked everywhere and cannot find
    any. Yours are so lovely.
    Thanks for sharing.
