I am continuing my classic Christmas theme this year in the dining room with my pewter and plaid tablescape…two of my favorite elements that just say it’s holiday time to me! I have to admit that I love red and green for Christmas…and add some rustic touches of texture and the patina of old pewter and I am in! Put them all together and here’s my Christmas tablscape this year…simple, rustic and classic! I started with a tartan tablecloth layered with my ruffled burlap table runner. Then I added a garland down the center and popped in my favorite pewter candlesticks and a few red ornaments. In the center is my stag head compote…a thrifting find from several years ago which echoes the stag candle holders on my tartan and magnolia Christmas mantel. I filled it with faux moss rocks that I found at Dollar Tree a few years ago, as well as mercury glass acorns and small red glitter ornaments. At each place is a wicker charger to echo the colors of the burlap and add some texture. It is topped by my favorite go-to chunky plates…Felice by Chris Madden. I have used my wedding flatware in pewter and the matching goblets…Octette from Gorham. I like to mix in inexpensive finds as well so I have added the wine glasses that I found at Goodwill several years ago. But my favorite element this year is the Christmas tree napkin fold…so fun and easy to do…that adds such a special festive touch! You will find the video that explains just how to do it here. I debated about changing the blue and white transferware on the hutch for my white Wedgwood but I discovered that I really like the way it looks with the tartan tablecloth… …so I simply mixed in a few bits of red and plaid to give it a more festive look. I added some red candles in the rooster sconces and a wreath sporting lots of red berries and the look was complete. And here it is…my pewter and plaid Christmas tablescape! I am loving its no-fuss rustic classic Christmas style! And Baby Kitty says to stay tuned because we are still HOHOHO-ing at our house and we have even more to show you! Remember to pin it!
