I had Judy looking all over town trying to find more fabric to fit my table. I've threatened to paint this table more times than I can count, but my interim fix is to just cover up as much of the big brown wood top as possible. Anyway, Judy came through and I love how it turned out. I just put it on top of another raw burlap fabric piece and then gave it a stripe of red Tartan. (gotta have some plaid)
The ribbon isn't attached,
and I would like to find a wider one,
but for now I think it adds a little fun!
Last year I wanted Preserved Boxwood wreaths and topiaries, but never found them. So for something different this year I ordered 3 of the Preserved Boxwood Cones in cement vases to go inside the newer smaller windowbox. You can find them HERE.
Judy also sent along a sweet pillow, just right for my end arm chair.
Thank you so much, Judy!
For the chandy, I left the twiggy garland and removed the Fall leaves,
replacing them with faux red Winterberries,
and then tied on a little Tartan ribbon.
Decorating this year is proving to be a work in progress.
I started with the basics the week before Thanksgiving,
and I'm adding a little more each day.
Who knows, I might even have it done before Christmas!
(more coming in the Dining Room)
Joining in with these great parties:

p.s. Santa brought my white lanterns and they're

ReplyDeleteJP
It's all lovely!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Debra. The dining room is where I start too.:-)
ReplyDeleteAre you prepared for the "weather" coming in? I think you might be in for it. J talked to a friend, last night, who lives near Joplin. He was saying it might get interesting down that way. Here too, but not as bad.
Take care!!
Super pretty! You put me to shame!
ReplyDeleteOXO,

Your dining room is gorgeous! I love the red tartan accents; it looks so festive! The preserved boxwood toparies are a wonderful addition to your box; it's a fantastic centerpiece! It looks like you are ready for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteYour dining room is breathtaking! I love the runner and pillow Judy made for you; she is so talented.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love Judy's runner. Great fabric!!!!! Your dining room is Christmas perfection! Isn't it funny, that we all have a certain starting place when decorating?
ReplyDeleteHello, my friend! I love your new runner and pillows but your chandelier is my favorite! It's gorgeous! I've found some really wide ribbon at Hobby Lobby but I usually go to my local florist or home and garden center where they will usually sell fabulous ribbon by the yard! Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteHi Debra - Your Dining Room looks fantastic. Thanks for the plug for the runner. Glad you are enjoying it!!
ReplyDeleteTake care in the approaching weather! YUCK!
Judy
Debra, I love it all! The runner, the topiaries, the chandy...all perfectly festive! :)

Your dining room looks very pretty, Debra. I really like the layered runners and the boxwood trio look lovely as a centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful and I think your brown table is refreshing...stunning actually!
ReplyDeleteThat runner is really great, perfeclty Christmasy, yet neutral enough that you can decorate over it. I think I need boxwood on my table now!!
ReplyDeleteYour table runner looks beautiful! How sweet that she made you a matching pillow. I love your wood table with the inlay.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! Isn't that Judy amazing? I am continually in awe of her creations.
