    I especially love your table setting. It is elegant in its layers and restraint, yet simple and comfortably welcoming at the same time. Just beautiful.

    I love the simplistic decorations…that add just the right touch in each setting. The accents of red & green against the natural hues suggests Christmas and at the same time, maintains the decor without being overwhelming. Love the use of sak cloths to add the pop of red & the natural greenery for the greens. The table with the red plaid cloth looks beautiful with the gold glassware! Of particular interest is the use of non traditional Christmas colors…the blues & even black that work perfectly at Christmas & are festive! Add a few bristle brush trees & voila! You have the prefect Christmas!

    All of the little “detail” sorts of things add so much charm, warmth and comfortableness to a room. Seems like it is almost a shame to have to remove them in just a couple of weeks when the holidays are over!

    Love looking at all your beautiful Christmas decor. I didn’t decorate this year. All decorations still in containers in the attic. We chose to move from FL to SC when we retired so we don’t have friends and family visiting anymore. It just didn’t seem worth the effort to decorate for two of us. I really enjoy looking at all the lovely Christmas posts on the blogs that I follow.

    I love the “little” touches everywhere. Shows you don’t need to go over the top to say Christmas and it can even carry over into the winter months as well.

    I love the return to the Graphic print pillows and the tinsel tree. The tinsel tree in particular takes me back
    to my childhood. Thank you for sharing these.

    I love the beauty of your decorations and the space between them so that each object is highlighted and can be appreciated. I feel inspired that I can do something like this instead of feeling overwhelmed and knowing that my look is never going to look like what I’m seeing in the photo.

      I do like the empty spaces Jan, and think they are very important, so I’m excited to hear about how your decor turns out.
