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...

Christmas 2017 decorating is done

Our Christmas 2017 decorations are finally done. I got a later start this year since we made a trip back home to New York for Thanksgiving with family. Always so happy to get back to visit and feel the love!

The first thing that I started with the year was our bay window in our dining area and my old wheelbarrow made it's show once again.

 Here it is at night.

  I tried really hard to keep the theme on the simple side with only a few extra additions.

The antique scale and dry goods measure filled with mini pomegranates and cinnomon sticks created a little hanging vignette on one side.

 The white lantern and tiny snowy owl were on our mantel last year and hang in the window, to the left, flanking the wheelbarrow below.

It's so pretty by night!

Baby owl is so darn cute!

A Better Homes and Gardens tablecloth makes a window skirt for the wheelbarrow vignette.

Red, white and black just makes me so happy!

I forgot to light the candles for this pic....and then

by the magic of photo editing with "pic monkey" voila!

 Last minute epsom salt snow was added to the red transferware cup and creamer.

Two more owls sit on the valance with a braided jute swag of pomegranates and cinnamon sticks that were on the mantel last year, too.

Just when I thought that I finalized all of my decorating something made me want to make a little change. I felt that my red cardinal needed to be in with the living room decor with his other feathered friends.

That allowed for the two owls that were perched on the valance to come down to where they'd be better seen. So, the little one decided to perch on a cinnamon stick in the rusty scale.

The large one nested where he should have been all along!

They look so much so-o-o much better, now!

This year I removed the shades from the chandelier to show off some edison bulbs for a different look.

You can print out these tags if you'd like them, too!

 This was my first centerpiece on the lazy susan...

until I decided to switch to popcorn and cranberries...it needed something white to make it "pop!"

Now onto some Holiday touches sround the room. with a little touch of Christmas on top of our antique country cupboard.

Wee little grain sack stockings hang from each end of the window valance.

A sunny morning, in the 70's,  here in December made this a welcoming place to enjoy.

My mother's Christmas bell from the 50's is, oh so, cherished and is displayed in our old corner cupboard among a collection of  vintage white ironstone.

My treasured corn husk angel was a gift from my Kristi Marie and is another item that always has to be displayed.

The faux chalkboard window that I made a few years ago is decked out for the Holiday, too!

My jp clay snowmen always make their way into the decor for Christmas and stay throughout the winter.

Another year, another Christmas window is done....I'll be back in a few days to share more of this year's decor with you.

 Love, Hugs, and Kisses,
