Hello my friends...I hope that you're having a fabulous day!
*
Oooh...it won't be long now...Christmas is nearly here!
I thought I would get one last post in before the big day...I still
have lots of baking to do and a few more Christmas gifts to wrap.
Are you ready for Christmas?*
*
Last week I shared some of the Christmas decor in my
dining room...specifically my Christmas buffet. Today I thought I
would show you what I did for the table centerpiece.
I hope you enjoy!

*"Dreaming of a White Christmas...with a little Silver Bling"
Christmas 2010 Dining Room
*
*
*Christmas in my french country dining room.
*
My dining room is done in dark red, olive green, and gold.
This color theme works sooo well for Christmas decor!
*
This year I decided to do a white and silver Christmas...kind of
a white "Winter Wonderland" with a little silver bling added!
*
*
*
I am really enjoying the sparkling white and shimmering silver Christmas!
*
*
*Christmas Table Centerpiece
*
*
*Christmas Table Centerpiece
*
*
*Oooh...see the pretty pine greenery? This beautiful fresh
pine table centerpiece was a gift from my Mom and Dad and my
sister and her husband...for Christmas! I just love it...and it smells sooo
good! It is loaded with pine boughs and white winter berries!
*
I must confess...I added a few more pretties to this centerpiece as well...
*
white pearl berries
various white and silver ornaments
various white and silver ornaments
white mercury glass pinecones
*
*and...
*
*a silver soup tureen full of faux snow and jeweled
mercury glass ornaments!
*
*
*
*and...
*
*a silver soup tureen full of faux snow and jeweled
mercury glass ornaments!
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*I used three silver candleholders with white tapers, mercury
glass (goblet shaped) candleholders, and mercury glass finials on
each side of the pine centerpiece.
*
A white table runner edged in silver sequins gives the table
centerpiece a foundation. I'm not sure if you can see (in the first
photos or not) that the table runner has a beautiful design of
beaded embroidered snowflakes on each end.
*
*
*
*I love these silver reindeer place card holders!
*
*
*The Christmas Buffet
*
*
*Since I am showing the Christmas table centerpiece...
thought I would share a few photos of the Christmas buffet as well.
*
If you would like to see more about how I put the decor
together for the buffet...just click HERE.
*
*
*
I used a three tiered pedestal cake plate set for the centerpiece
of the buffet. It's filled with all kinds of sparkling white and shimmering
silver Christmas pretties!
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*Here is a little Christmas vignette that I put together for the bar.
*
This large bar area separates the kitchen from the dining room.
I wanted to keep the same white and silver color theme going.*A special
thank you to my dear, sweet friend Gloria from Happy To Be blog
for the two beautiful glass candleholders...I love them, Sis!
*
I filled the glass holders with various silver glittered ornaments
and faux snow. Sooo pretty! A large white pedestal bowl is filled with
more jeweled mercury glass ornaments! I wrapped the small white pillar
candles in silver mesh ribbon for a little extra pretty!
*
*
*
*
*A Few More Photos...
*
*
*
*I thought these photos turned out really pretty.
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*This photo was taken in the late afternoon.
*
I thought the silver candleholders and mercury glass finial looked
soooo pretty with the sunlight shining on them!
*
*
*
*And...there you have it!
*
A Christmas table centerpiece dressed in sparkling white
and shimmering silver! I hope that you enjoyed!
*
*
*
*Merry Christmas, sweet friends!

with family and friends! I am so very thankful for each and
every one of you...you bless me, inspire me, and gift me

Merry Christmas Char, Everything looks so beautiful, just like a winter wonderland, many blessing to you and your family this holiday season. Hugs, Marilou
Chari,
This is just beautiful! Love all of that mercury glass. You have the nicest natural light coming into your dining room too which makes for great pictures! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Sherry
Oh, I just love your centerpiece, Chari! The whites, silver and greenery makes me think of those days where there is snow on the ground and the tree branches are encased in ice ~ a wonderland for sure. I'm all done here. Just need to get the Christmas dishes washed up and I'll probably set up my table Thursday night.
Loving all that silver and white. Your red walls are the perfect backdrop for all your gorgeous displays. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Such a pretty white and silver tablescape! I hadn't thought of using a soup tureen as part of a centerpiece. I might follow your lead and utilize the one I have for the same thing. Everything is so pretty and sparkly.
Blessings,
Shanna
Very pretty. I love the pinecone shaped ornaments. Merry Christmas! Dropping by from Met Monday.

What a pretty Christmas dining room -- it's perfect!
I love your silver and white theme with the background of your red walls, lovely!
Chari, Your centerpiece is gorgeous! I love the all white and silver together. The mercury glass is wonderful too. Do you know I can't find a single piece of mercury glass anywhere in Richmond now? Since my mantel disaster I have been trying to replace some of the pieces and no one has any more. Happy Holidays!
Sherry
Those deer candle sticks on the buffet are to die for. I love all of the white and silver. Very fancy.
Wonderful !
LoVe the color scheme *
Chari, this is absolutely breathtaking! GORGEOUS! I love the silver and the greenery! Everything!

Oh Chari,
Exactly what I had in mind to do this year. . .but then. .. it was Christmas On Crooked Creek. My son and daughter~in~law love the gingerbread theme and so that's where we are. I am so loving this decor! Thank you for such a lovely post. Like you, I love the photo where the sunlight is streaming through on the mercury glass!Merry Christmas, dear!
Fondly,
Pat

Stunning vignettes. Terry
Hi Chari!
I really enjoyed the larger view of your beautiful dining room. You have such a talent for mixing colors and textures!
There's just something about grouping lots of silver together that gets me every time. It brings out my inner magpie or something! I become mesmerized *winks* Crystals have the same effect....oh who am I kidding...the list is long! Lol! Sparkly warkly yumminess! Vanna
Ooooo Chari it's all so beautiful!! The reflections of all the beautiful silver and mercury glass look and photograph so awesomely. The added touches of white and greenery are just perfect compliments too! I could sit and gaze at your table displays for days, and days!
Hope you have a simply wonderful Christmas my sweet friend!!
Love and hugs, Sherri:)
OHHHHHH Chari, it is all so beautiful! Love all of the white and sparkling silver! You are the Queen of the Decorators:) Have a blessed day my friend! HUGS!
Love all the silver! I'm so fond of all your reindeer - all shapes and sizes. They're stunning on the buffet.
Merry Christmas Char.
You always make things so beautiful and this new silver and white setting is magnificent..
Merriest of Merry's to you and yours

Chari, I love your dining room decorations. All the silver glitz looks so elegant and you put it together just beautifully!! I adore decorating with shimmery silver, gold, and white, yours just looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing.
You have the perfect dining room for the holidays! So pretty, I love the silvers and greens with the red walls. Following your blog!
So very, very pretty and elegant. And I love the hint of kitchen I see. I'll be back to visit again! :)
Beautiful decorations! The silver theme is so elegant!
Merry Christmas!
Cindy
Oh my, this is breathtaking. I always think the one you did last is my favorite, but this truly is my favorite. Every single piece of these vignettes, the table and the buffet are just gorgeous. Wow.
Also, Mr. Linky was being a stinker, and when I tried to correct it everyone was deleted that had linked up. So, can you please link up again.
Last, thank you so much for another year of your wonderful posts and friendship. I wish you and all of your family the most Blessed Christmas ever. Hugs, Marty
So very, very pretty! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Merry CHRISTmas sweet friend!
Gail
Everything is absolutely beautiful Chari! I always enjoy a thorough tour of your decor.
I hope you have a truly wonderful Christmas.
Opulent, grandiose, strikingly beautiful. I love everything about your decor. Stunning.
I'm loving that table runner.
Linda
Hi Chari, it is just blingalicious! Yes that is a word! Haha...your dining room and home are just gorgeous. I always enjoy seeing your pictures and these are some of the finest. Love that dining room buffet with all the bling. It looks magical and perfect.
Merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays.
Blessings,
Debbie
All the red, green and silver in your room make such a festive atmosphere. You did a wonderful job dressing up the beautiful fresh greens! Chari, have a wonderful and blessed Christmas! I am so happy to have you as a new friend. Linda
Absolutely magical and the red wall as a back drop couldn't be better. All the photos looked like magazine photos. Don't you just love the jeweled mercury ornaments. I collected a few in purple this year. Now I wish I had some silver ones too. The buffet is wonderful too, I love the way you displayed the ornaments in the tiered server. I love placing ornaments around the house,especially fabulous ones like these. Have a wonderful wonderful Christmas.
I'm crazy about the white and silver, especially in THAT room. It's perfect.
Of course, I love everything you do. You are so gifted that it's fun to come here and be inspired.
I'm looking forward to yet more inspiration in the coming year. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
You have such a lovely home...
and holiday-ready too:)
Merry Christmas
A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you need to publish
more on this issue, it may not be a taboo matter
but generally people don't talk about such subjects. To the next! All the best!!
