Cozy and Elegant Winter Table Setting

It’s time for round 2 of the Styled and Set Holiday Entertaining Tours hosted by Lory from Designthusiasm. If you are coming from Cedar Hill Farm House, welcome! I just love the way Anita used pops of red!

Last month, I shared my Modern Rustic Thanksgiving Table and today I’m sharing a Cozy and Elegant Winter Table Setting that can take you from holidays straight into those cold months.

Every year our church puts on a ladies Christmas Dinner and where ladies from the church decorate the tables. It brings in over 500 ladies from around the community and is such an amazing event.  I’ve been going to it for years and years but have always sat at my mom’s table (which is always amazing). This year I hosted by own table for the first time ever and I thought I’d share my table decor with you all here too!

When pulling together my table decor, I always start with things I already have on hand. Not only does is save some cash, but it’s also fun to recycle projects and pair different pieces together. For this look I used everything from around my house, I even recycled our “Give Thanks Trees” from this month and hung ornaments on them to create height and an elegant touch.

I love that they add height, but over powering to the point where you can’t see the person across from you (ahhh I hate that!).

I used a throw blanket as a table cloth to give it a cozy look and added wood chargers and napkin rings for a rustic touch. Also, all of the trees on the table (except the mirror one) were DIY projects from the past. Learn how to make the Wood Biscuit Trees and the Coffee Filter Trees.

    Taryn, I just love this winter wonderland table! I did a table with many of the same elements a year or so ago and it remains one of my favorites. Yours is just beautiful! I love all the bright white and hints of glimmer, as well as the nature bits like bark and branches. Fabulous!!

    I love the neutrality of your table, and especially love the wood chargers, they are gorgeous. This table could go elegant or it could go country rustic. In my book you are a genius !!!

    Oh my goodness! I adore your Christmas tablescape! The trees as centerpieces are my favorite.

    I’ve got to clear off my dining room table and set it up for Christmas dinner this afternoon. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.
