Welcome to the next stop on my Christmas home tour: the dining room and my big Christmas tree! I think this is the first year I’ve truly loved my big Christmas tree.
It’s the look I was going for the first year I had it, but it took time to gather the perfect ornaments and figure out how full I wanted it. I love vertical burlap ribbon instead of my usual horizontally wrapped ribbon. This year I picked up a cute burlap ribbon with jingle bells from Hobby Lobby. I’m glad I grabbed a bunch at the beginning of November, because they sold out before Thanksgiving.
Here you can see how my Christmas tree has evolved since we bought it in 2012. I love my scrap paper Christmas garland, which cost me next to nothing but adds so much to the tree.
Oh, and do you see those few little gifts under the tree? Last year they were just empty boxes. This year, the wrapped presents are the real deal. I am DONE with Christmas shopping and all of my gifts are wrapped. Woohoo!! I’m so thrilled to have that finished before the baby arrives next week!
I used my friend Kelly’s free printable gift tags on all my presents, and they are the cutest!! Get them over at Live, Laugh, Rowe. So stinkin’ cute! And free!
You can barely make out my DIY Christmas Crate Stand from Pallets under there, but it’s there. I absolutely adore it. You can get the full tutorial HERE.
Along with my Scrap Book Paper Christmas Garland, I added some personal touches with these tin roof ornaments from Michaels. Look at that sweet Christmas baby. That was Miss A three years ago. How did she get so big?!? I made those paper scrap-covered ornaments two years ago. And the snowflake with the missing flake is from Hobby Lobby.
The chalkboard wood-slice ornaments were another addition from last year, and I love them along with the glittery and mercury glass touches. That’s the rustic glam look I was going for.
Isn’t this silk-screened deer ornament so cute? I haunted my Target for a couple of weeks until I found a few. Perks of shopping in early November: the best selection. They were gone in a flash! #maybebecauseIboughtthemall
And now for the whole room where we’ll host Christmas brunch. My husband’s family will come over on Christmas morning, and we’ll enjoy a delicious meal around my favorite DIY farmhouse table, all dressed up for the season.
I kept the table decor super simple this year, and I love it!
The bottle brush trees are from Decor Steals back in October. The burlap runner is from Hobby Lobby. Everything else is from Target. I found the cinnamon candles online at Target, and here’s a link to the hurricane vases. Everything else can only be found in the store.
I have big plans for that mirror on the wall. Someday I’ll actually decorate the walls in this room and maybe add more furniture. Until then, I usually enjoy my big farmhouse table for crafting projects more than for eating.
The round beaded white dishes are my everyday dishes. The Lenox Winter Song accent plates were a steal on sale at HomeGoods last year. I LOVE them and bring them out in the fall, then put them away when spring comes around. They are so pretty to me!
Thanks for stopping by to see my rustic glam tree and simple rustic dining room table. I’ve loved sharing my Christmas home with you this week! I have a couple more spaces to share next week, and then I’ll be ready for Christmas to come!
Wishing you a lovely weekend!!
