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...

Winter Terrarium Let it Snow Centerpiece

One of my favorite things to transform, throughout the year, is our terrarium. Well, actually it's the one that I gave to my honey for our anniversary many years ago ;)
For the longest time it only displayed small seasonal plants and still does occasionally.
Until the day that I was inspired by a very creative winter scene that took my breath away!

This year I featured a burlap poinsettia, a draping of pearls and my red cardinal that I used on our winter mailbox last year.

I gave the poinsettia some shabby glam with a stamen of pearls.

The cardinal sits on a nest of greens and snow on top her eggs of pearls.

Burlap lines the bottom with a covering of epsom salt snow and a dash of diamond dust glitter.

Icy picks that I had left over from our mantel wreath add a little covering on the rooftop.

Hot glue, epsom salts and diamond dust created the icy effects that cover the terrarium all around.

It's such a perfect centerpiece for the look of our dining area with our kitchen's bay window and chandy this year.

The fun of it all was the finishing touches that my daughter, Tanya, and I had when she helped me with the special touches...she's got talent, too!
