CHRISTMAS DINING ROOM

Mirror
The Dining Room is dressed for Christmas.


It was a happy day when we found the dining room mirror.  A few years ago Mr. Heart and I were at an estate sale when I spied a mirror that would be perfect in our dining room.  Things were a bit pricy that day.  As we made our way over to get a closer look, I was preparing myself that it may be out of my reach,  but was so happy to find it being offered for a steal...SQUEAL! 


To dress it up for Christmas I added two swags of garland adorned with green leaves and gold fruit.  One swag is added on each side...


A shimmery gold ribbon bow with lots of embellishments is then added to the top  and the ribbon is tucked into the garland...




One of my favorite trees is the little one on the dining room buffet.  I call it our Little Tweet Tree because it is so small and decorated with tiny bird ornaments.





Each year my mom gives us girls Waterford ornaments.  The smaller ornaments are pefect for the small Tweet Tree...


On the buffet are deer that sit on each side of the little tree, all of which sits atop gold shimmery runners ...



  
A simple centerpiece includes a mirror base, crystal candlesticks and a gold urn with red flower arrangement.  A dove is added for a little extra touch.  There are two of these florals, one is on the dining room table and the other...

...finds a home on the empire chest...


That's the dining room dressed for Christmas.  Can you believe there are only 12 more days to go!

Thanks so much for visiting, I love your sweet comments and can't wait to read yours!

    Morning Cindy,
    wow, your dining room looks so lovely and festive.
    Love those pics with the mirror reflecting your tree in the other room, looks just like a magazine picture. Beautiful. The whole room is beautiful,
    you are a very talented decorator.

    We tried to put a magnolia garland in our dining room light fixture and it looked great but made the light looks so dim I didn't like that part.
    so will have to think of another option I guess. lol

    You have a great week ahead enjoying the Christmas Season sweetie,
    Love and Blessings, Nellie

    NO I can't believe there are only 12 days left before Christmas. Where did the time go? People don't like it because we start Christmas so early, but I would actually like about 2 months of Christmas cheer. I love the mirror too. I would have jumped on it too. Everything is beautiful.

    Yes, I know we're supposed to be looking at the decor, but I HAVE to comment on that out-of-this-world Empire chest!!!!!! I literally gulped when I saw it! That is one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I have ever seen!!! It's magnificent! I want it!!!! :-) Beautiful decor all around, and your Tweet Tree is sweet as sugar. You did a marvelous job with the mirror, too! It's gorgeous in and of itself, but the Christmas treatment really jazzed it up even more. Enjoy your day!

    The photograper has done an awesome job. The tweet tree in the mirror is a pretty photo. I just love all the photos and the story of your mirror is great for I have had some of the same feelings. I keep coming back to view your tweet tree for it is so sweet. Merry Christmas and Happy Tablescaping. Pam
