Rustic Chic Christmas Table

Last weekend we hosted my husband’s family for Christmas and I wanted to share the table I put together for the gathering. All my Christmas decor this year has been black and white with subtle pops of red and green so that is what I stuck with! I created this simple Rustic Chic Christmas Table using a combination of black and white dishes mixed with greenery, pinecones and a pop of copper.

This look is really easy to recreate so let’s have a closer look!

When putting together tablescapes, it’s all about layering! I started with this natural table runner that I actually flipped over and used the backside since it was plain. And then added these basic woven round black placemats from Anko for a contrast.

I continue to layer with my fav off-white ceramic dinner plates that we use daily, and these more natural ceramic salad plates. I added a little rustic charm to the place setting with a black napkin, wood napkin ring, sprig of faux berries and my fav copper twig flatware.

The centerpiece took only about 5 minutes, I picked up a few pine branches from Michaels and then added a few more pinecones and some tapered candles for the centerpiece.

Last year I went with a completely different look with soft creams and golds and a few pops of cranberry and the year before was another black and white table but more Scandinavian style.

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

It was tricky. But I’m glad we kept going because the look is everything we envisioned and exactly what my son wanted. I still have lots more to do in here, it’s not even close to being finished. But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
