Christmas Tablescape
So excited to share my Christmas Tablescape with you all.
The best part is – it’s still there! That’s right, for whatever reason my little junior destructo toddler boy has totally ignored climbing on the table the last few days. I thought for sure by now he would be wielding a candlestick like a light saber…
I didn’t buy anything for this tablescape, I just used what I had around the house. The “urn” this is sitting in, is actually one of those 3 tiered hanging things to put fruit in. I bought it a long time ago to hang in my pantry, but it didn’t fit. It was only $6, so I figured I would find a use for it down the road.
I disassembled it and stacked 2 of them together.
I picked some greenery in the woods again (this time I wore gloves see here where I went wrong last time around – no hives this time, I’m happy to say!).
Some pine cones and branches got a coat of silver spray paint.

I tied these cute little jingle bells to the branches with dental floss. During the course of this shoot several may or may not have fallen off due to the floss melting from the candle flame – oops. Otherwise I would definitely recommend the floss route and – bonus: you get a fresh minty smell :)
The branches are just stuck in some floral foam.
Love my mason jar light fixture (there are actually 2 above the table) – and no, I didn’t make it, Pottery Barn did, and now I have seen a million great tutorials on how to DIY in bloggy land.
So that’s my table, by the time I post this it will have been destroyed by my little guy, as I’m sure I jinxed myself by mentioning it :)
How’s your holiday decorating coming along?
Love, love, love! You did a great job! I also love your table; the color tones are beautiful.

Your tablescape is so, so pretty! I love the branches with the bells on them. adorable.
Your table is beautiful. Every detail is wonderful.
I’m completely in love with this centrepiece and hope you can rope it off from the little guy!
This is so beautiful, Kelly! I love the greenery with the pretty silver pinecones and the jingle bells. Good luck with keeping it intact–I’ve been working on decorating today, there are boxes everywhere, and I had 3 cat helpers to boot!
Gorgeous, Kelly! I love this and I hope the arrangement stays in one piece. Thank you for linking to the Open House party. Hugs, Sherry
I absolutely love how this turned out!
