Tablescapes are one of my very favorite things to decorate.\u00a0 Something about a clean table\u2026like a fresh canvas for an artist.\u00a0 Sometimes I like to experiment, try some out-of-the-box ideas.\u00a0 Once in awhile, I take a step back to the basics.\u00a0 I rarely purchase new items for my tablescapes, but rather mix and match what I have to create different looks. \u00a0\u00a0At Christmas time, I find myself drawn to the classic, timeless looks.\u00a0 A little elegance, a little whimsy, a little simplicity, but always Christmas greenery<\/p>\n

For this Christmas tablescape, I started with combining faux cedar and eucalyptus garlands<\/a><\/strong><\/span> down the middle of the table.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t have quite enough cedar garland left, so I used gorgeous, faux cedar branches.<\/p>\n

After building a lush and festive base on my farmhouse table, I created my place settings.\u00a0 These vintage brass chargers from Rehab Vintage Market are a favorite for this time of year and if you follow me on Instagram<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, you\u2019ll probably see them in several more Christmas and New Year\u2019s tablescapes!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I added my white, everyday dishes<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0gold flatware<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, mini cedar wreaths, and deep green napkins from the 2019 Hearth and Hand collection<\/a><\/strong><\/span> at Target.<\/p>\n

These mini stockings were a sweet purchase from my friend Mara at Dreamy White Lifestyles a few years ago.\u00a0 By creating an otherwise simple tablescape, I allowed the stockings to be the statement piece and focal point for each guest.\u00a0 While these are no longer available, I\u2019ll link up some similar looks for you here:<\/p>\n
