A Buffalo Check Christmas Tablescape & Centerpiece with Chickadees

Christmas is amost upon us in just a few short weeks and because I love to give you ideas to incorporate into your own home, I created this tablescape in red with accents of the ever popular black and white buffalo check. 


For this one I used two round tablecovers, layered and gathered, with a scarlet red satin bow, between each place setting.  


Here, I photoshopped a sprig of holly to the ribbon, which is something you may like to add to yours. I chose to keep it more simple since there was already a lot going on with sprigs of berries on the table.

Buffalo check napkins placed underneath black chargers with red, poinsettia toile, dinner plates create quite an impact over the red faux burlap tablecloth. White battenburg napkins are simply tied with white satin ribbon and accented with white berry picks placed to the side of each plate.



Rolling up the top tablecloth and securing it with an accent of your choice is something that's so easy to do!

Buffalo check napkins, placed on a diagonal, add an additional visual impact as place mats, underneath the black chargers.
The beautiful plates are available at Replacements.com and may be found on Etsy or Ebay.



They are really beautiful!

How cute are my little chickadees as accents for the theme around the table? A sprinkling of epsom salts beneath the lanterns on the saucers added a snowy base just for sparkley fun!


The chickadees were from last year's Christmas tree and have managed take flight and perch in our snowy white tree again this year.

Here are a few sneak peeks!



Naturally, another larger Christmas lantern had to be the center of attention at the table. Sprigs of winter greens, deep red pomegranates with ornaments of pearl surround the lantern. Wooden beads of cranberries, candy canes and a pair of icy chickadees that flank each side, so sweetly.


The precious, icy, chickadees came from Hobby Lobby in 2019.



That's all for now, I've got all our other decorating done and a few more Holiday posts to share with you, including a gorgeous, winter white, formal tablescape. 

Always hoping that my posts give you at least one idea that you may like to try a version of  in your own decor!

Til Next Time...

A Christmas Lantern Window Theme

All of the decorating around the house is totally done and our dining room window is ready to view!

Black candle lanterns, in a wintery theme, flicker each night for my honey and me.

Aside from the large one the others are adorable in a miniature size.

With the lights on, by day, you can really see the entire collection.

 Same view, different lighting.


Looking from the entry into the dining area.

Twinkling white lights create a captivating sight to look at each night.

A lantern centerpiece on the lazy susan carries the theme on the table.

Christmas lights, in white, frame the window for inside appreciation at night.



Intentionally topsy are this pair of snowy trees that flank each side of the window.

Another red cardinal, like the one on our mailbox outside,

sits atop an old, black, firkin and an evergreen bed.



An old, charming, mirror reflects things in the window and around the room.


A Christmas card, a vintage marmalade jar and white pinecone trees on display on a black metal tray.

A sweet little old, straw, penguin sits on a mirror that hints of the look of ice.



Look how cute he was in last year's



There are a few more lanterns here and there around the room.

Our 1800's cupboard, with it's Christmas accents, is where we hide our kitchen tv and printer along with tons of crafts and files.

Fresh cut greens and red berry clusters form a simple, evergreen, chandelier wreath. 


 The additions of hanging silver bells and a large herringbone bow were the final touch to it's decor.

I'm all done for now, but I'll have one final share of Christmas decorating at the end of this year. 
  Christmas Eve we will be cooking and celebrating with 14 members of our family.
 I'm so excited to see my tablescapes come to life....you might be able to guess the theme.
I've been planning them in my mind for weeks!

Other Christmas posts you may have missed this year.
