A Farmhouse Christmas in the Dining Room

I am so excited to share my Christmas dining room this year because I am joining a group of very talented bloggers for a Farmhouse Christmas! And I have been collecting galvanized and grain sack goodies over the last few months along with some special vintage touches just for this occasion!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape And…here is the result! I wanted a simple look with lots of texture and natural accents with muted shades of the traditional Christmas red and green.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape But perhaps my favorite thing about the tablescape is the centerpiece…

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape …lots of Christmas color tucked in a great old vintage galvanized tool box that I found at the antique fair in Braselton, Georgia this fall! It was love at first sight…and it was only $20! Woo hoo! It was fresh out of someone’s barn…and it had paint splatters and numbers written in Sharpie that I had to remove...

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Farmhouse Christmas TablescapeOnce again, I am using my go-to plates for a small gathering…my Chris Madden cream Felice dinnerware…a $10 Goodwill find for a set of four…nested on grapevine wreaths as chargers. I decided to use my Gorham Octette pewter goblets…perfect complement to the galvanized centerpiece and a great farmhouse look. The wine glasses were a Goodwill find several years ago.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape I love the way the colors on the table are reflected in the hutch…with even more transferware and greenery!

 CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Christmas on the HutchCan you believe this is the first year I have ever used these plates on my Christmas hutch? It will not be the last!

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Christmas on the Hutch They just say Christmas to me! If you would like a closer look at my hutch all decorated for the holidays, click here.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Christmas Dough Bowl On the buffet you will find my grandmother’s dough bowl all dressed for a farmhouse Christmas, too…with birch candles, pine cones and faux cranberries…a very easy transition from my fall dough bowl.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pottery Barn inspired Jingle PillowAnd in one of the chairs…my Pottery Barn inspired jingle pillow. In case you missed the tutorial, you will find it here.

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Farmhouse MantelI have already shown you my farmhouse Christmas mantel as well! Can you tell I am all about things galvanized and decorated with grain sack-style ribbons this year?

CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Farmhouse Mantel The burlap Christmas stockings on the mantel were also handmade. You will find a link to the tutorial here.

  7. Debbie, you did it again. Just gorgeous! I have to say I might have to copy the grapevine wreaths as chargers for my woodland themed Christmas...what an awesome idea. You should write a book with all your ideas and tutees to go along. Seriously.

  13. Your rustic Christmas is a complete wow! You really scored finding the tool box at a great price. The Johnson Bros. plates are cute and lovely with your Christmas tablescape. Your hutch with the red and white transferware speaks my language when decorating. My post this week has my hutch decorated with blue transferware and nutcrackers and I hope you will come take a peek!

  20. Debbie, your farmhouse table is amazing! I love each and every detail. I'm so glad I'm not there in person.... I would be such a grinch and take your World Market napkins, flatware and pewter goblets... and anything I could fit in my purse!!! Oh, such beautiful things! Your centerpiece is PERFECT farmhouse! Gotta remember to use some webbing I have on hand to wrap my candles... what a fabulous touch! This was such a fun tour.... love touring with you!
