The Any Day Christmas Table

Decorating the Christmas table is not only for the big day, but for the entire month of December.  There are informal gatherings with friends and family, a big country breakfast, soup night, and even take out pizza on those nights when you are running to and fro.  Do you need a few fresh ideas?  Put your feet up, relax, and take a look at these wonderful table settings!

Let's start with a few tartan plaid ideas.  Christmas=Tartan Plaid in my book!
Peonies and Orange Blossoms brings you this lovely display.  I just love plaid!
Confessions of a Plate Addict (love that name) has the plaid going on too!
Pinterest has tons of ideas.  This one is really cute!  Such a great way to incorporate a Christmas Village into the design.  
Plum Creek Place offers this village inspired tablescape.  
Let's turn our attention to simple red and white themes.  It is quite cold here today.  I have the items to put together this type of tablescape for tonight's chili supper. 
I love the stark white and warm red in this scene.
Let's look at a few gingerbread inspired themes.  Isn't this one adorable?
I had to add this cute centerpiece!  I can imagine a simple dinner during one of the days prior to Christmas with a hearty soup, a casual atmosphere, and this cute display.
Do you collect nutcrackers?  Why not make a table setting with nutcrackers as the main element? Here are a few ideas.  Our first is from Plum Creek Place.
This one is from Bewteen Naps on the Porch...
What about a candy cane theme?  
This one is super cute too!  My kitchen theme is gingerbread and gingham.  I could use this!
Bottle brush trees and burlap are everywhere and look nice in a table setting.
Our Creative Life incorporates candles, burlap, and greenery for this delightful table.
The next photo is by Michelle Edwards, author of Sweet Something Designs.  She passed away last January after battling cancer. Her blog was filled beautiful designs and ideas such as the one posted below.  
Isn't this a gorgeous, but simple setting?  I really like the fresh greenery and cranberries.  I would also like to see this idea in large mason jars.  Hmmm, gives me an idea!
Take time to enjoy these days prior to Christmas and take a little extra effort to set a pretty table for every meal.  Gather items from your Christmas displays and get creative!  Your family will appreciate sitting down to enjoy not only a nice meal and family time, but an inspired table as well.

    Awesome inspiration tablescapes for the Christmas holiday!
    I love them all and I'm inspired right now in one and before I leave to my DD Sofia's house I will post it.
    The last image makes me so sad, and it's gorgeous! It's a classic all over Pinterest, as I found out the blogger that created it died from cancer. Thanks for sharing, I'm pinning your post.
    Merry Christmas and many blessings.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces...

Quarantine Reno: The Butler's Pantry/Laundry Room

Good morning everyone! I wanted to share with you a major renovation which Mr. Still Woods and I accomplished during the quarantine. I have been feeling a huge push to simplify not only my life, but our home as well.  I started with reorganizing room by room and donating items we no longer use. After that was accomplished, I began thinking. My husband says that my thinking is always dangerous and usually means a lot of work for him! So let me tell you how this all started.  I have a large pantry in the kitchen with pull out drawers and deep shelves. While it holds tons of pantry items, I was always complaining because items tend to meander to the back of the shelves. When you need a flashlight to see what's in your pantry, you know its too large.  So I decided that I wanted to relocate our pantry into a free standing, shallow unit.  We sat down and drew up a plan we were both happy with.  As with most plans, our plan got altered along the way.  What was to ...

Patriotic Tablescapes

I was perusing the internet for a little 4th of July tablescape inspiration.  Wow...are there some wonderful ideas for any Yankee Doodle Dandy table.  Let's take a look! I love the blog Between Naps on the Porch.  She has a gift for setting a beautiful table.  This one is set with solids of red, white, and blue.  The tall lanterns also lend a patriotic flair and really make the setting cozy. I love the entire setting in this photo from The Gathering of Friends.  The house and yard phtograph beautifully.  Those red chairs really pop! Looks like a great place to entertain and watch fireworks. Tampa Homebody has incorporated some of my favorite glassware into her table setting.  American Fostoria and blue Cape Cod glass make this a festive display. Doesn't this make you want to pull up a chair?  The centerpiece is simple, but quite lovely.  I am crazy about checkered prints.  Super cute from Stone Gable! This is just prec...
