Creative Christmas Tablescape Inspiration Tour
I can’t tell you how much fun I have when I join my 4 dear friends from Charming Homes and Gardens for a tablescape tour. We have been doing this every season and/ or holiday for a year now. I know you will find some of the best tablescape inspiration from them. Their links are listed at the end of this post, so be sure to give them a visit. And a special thank you goes out to my friend Rachel of The Ponds Farmhouse for organizing all the fun!
If you are stopping by from Rachel’s blog at The Ponds Farmhouse, welcome! I absolutely love her creative holiday table ideas, and the way she decorates with thrifted and vintage treasures. I get so much inspiration from her.
My Old Life of Using Paper Towels for Napkins
In my past life, (you know the one…before Instagram, the blog, Pinterest) I would set the table for the holidays with any cloth napkins I had bought on sale and were in the pantry, my regular, everyday dishes and some candles. It was just a big deal not to use paper towels as napkins for any big event!
I didn’t realize that there was some sort of art to setting the table for a gathering, ESPECIALLY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
But I’m working on it. I’ve been transformed. And I really like being creative and come up with ideas that I’ve never tried before. Even if my table didn’t turn out how the picture in my brain thought it would, it was still a lot of fun to try.
Bico Nordic Village Collection
I was so excited when Bico Ceramics gifted me their dinner plates, bowls and platters from their Bico Nordic Village. It’s almost a shame to cover up these views of a magical holiday village!

The Christmas Cottage Tablescape Details
It all starts with greenery from the pine trees in my backyard. I cut down…oh wait…my husband cut down several branches of greenery for me. Then, I wrapped wire around the branches after trimming them to one length, and placed them on top of the table runner.
I then added several mini Christmas trees, pomegranates, assorted nuts, cinnamon cloves and votive candles as a simple centerpiece.
These pretty glasses are from the Pioneer Woman. I love the way the plum color pops the table and looks with the nordic village dishes.
SHOP PIONEER WOMAN DRINKING GLASSES
I thought the bottle brush trees would add a more festive look to the table.
The cloth napkins were found at Home Goods, and these copper napkin ring holders were from the Bremerton Flea Market. I added sprig of fresh greenery to each napkin ring to spruce up the look.
SHOP THE LOOK
Seasonal fruit such as pomegranates and oranges are a perfect touch for holiday tables and add color to your centerpiece.

That means so much Cindy. When I first joined Instagram, it felt like I was one of the very few that added color to my home. I was a little nervous at first, but now I’m happy I stuck with what worked for me. Happy holidays my friend.
