A Country French New Year

It’s almost New Year’s Eve and the end of another strange year. Like many of you, my plans are small but I will be celebrating for sure! There will be no elaborate dinner...just immediate family. Sooo... I decided to share my New Year's tablescape from several years ago instead. It's one of my favorite posts from my Country French design series and it definitely has a French accent! It's rustic and simple and stars lots of texture with a generous helping of frenchiness!
