Holiday Dining with Plaid and Toile

With all the Holiday parties this week, I thought I'd do a separate post with just my Dining Room decor. Sorry if you've seen these photos before, but hope you enjoy the full view...

The last few years I've done white and neutrals in the Dining Room. This year my French Country roots started to show because I wanted my red toile back, and then some of that love of "traditional" came along too. So what did I do?...combined the two. Traditional red and green Christmas colors with a little twist.






















I added the little Christmas Cloche this week with the
 tiny vintage reindeer and bottle brush trees.


My bottle brush wreath and lamb collection on the sideboard.














Hope you enjoyed the Dining Room tour (again)
I'm joining in with:

lots of fun planned this week!

    Great little tree, Debra! I love your wreath and lambs on your sideboard, too. I have red and white toile pillows out on my couch and even though it's not a Christmas design, I think it just adds that Christmas feel to my white couch.

    A-ha!!! Your dining room is beautiful and looks just like home :^) I have been mixing it up for many years....the red taffeta type Christmas plaid and the toile... I also use the red/green/blue/yellow watch plaid for tablecloths. I just used my lunch hour to tie 14 bazillion red plaid bows for the steps and chair backs....yikes!! Thank you for letting me know that I am NOT as crazy as my family would have me think :^)

    You had me at toile! I also really liked seeing the holly and the ivy together. It reminds me of the Christmas Carol.
