Bonne Année...A Country French New Year

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT A Country French New Year I am so excited because it’s time for our monthly share from our Country French Design group…and this time the subject is tables! I have to confess that most of the tables in my home are family antiques and are not actually French. But since it’s almost New Year’s Eve I decided to share my tablescape which definitely has a French accent! It's rustic and simple and stars lots of texture with a generous helping of frenchiness!

My Christmas Hot Cocoa Station...That Doubles as a Centerpiece!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Christmas Hot Cocoa StationI have to admit that I have been admiring the hot cocoa stations that I have seen on other blogs…a special spot to keep all that you need to create a wonderful cup of hot cocoa…but I have such a small home that I couldn’t find a way to fit it into my kitchen. And then it dawned on me…why not use it as a Christmas centerpiece in the breakfast room? And my little idea began to take shape!
