Beautiful Gold DR Candy..and all so elegant.
I love your table setting and how you 'dressed' the backs of your chairs. Your gold tree is so stunning. Did you make the tree top? It's beautiful. I even see an Angel 'elevated' over your Nativity...how did you manage that? She's lovely.
Bring on the 'upstairs'...we're up for it!!

Just gorgeous and so very elegant - I just love how you did the chandelier - never thought of adding such large ornaments on it - I love it. Everything else is just exquisite - you can bring on the upstairs anytime - can't wait to see it. Your decorating is stunning to say the least .....

Your dining room is wonderful. Pretty chandy all decorated. Lucky you, DD knew you would give that nativity a good home and it looks great. Love your angel you placed over it and the gold cloth under it.

Pretty deer up on your china cab. and the dishes are gorgeous in there. Are those crystals hanging on the left side of the mirror? Love this mirror all decorated.

I really like the cp tree on the table. You could make anything look good though. The napkin rings really jumped out at me. What's on them? I have those same Radko dishes. Your silver candle holders look alot like my Avon ones.

Lovely job on your gold tree! You even decorated the chairs. So glad you are home to share all of this with us.

I'm ready to head Upstairs!!!

Lovely Dining room, CC, The CR dishes are so pretty, are there green plates between the the Christmas plates and the chargers? I like how you switched the napkins from burgandy to green [I thought I was seeing things at first lol]. They are both pretty. The Nativity is perfect on the corner table. The gold tree is very elegant. What a fun idea to use the metal tree for your center piece. I sure that I missed some things I usually do the first time I look.
I can't wait to go upstairs. It feels like Christmas morning!!

Jane,
Thank you. The gold tree top is one of those gold spire tops, and then I just stick in some of the ting ting (?), a gold star pick, a gold glittery bushy thingy (hows that for a description?), and a gold poinsettia. The hovering angel over the nativity is perched on a wreath stand that I sit on the top of the wooden stacked stand.

Lynne, most people are "stunned" when they see the inside of the house at Christmas, LOL. The most common remark is "I've never seen anything like it!" I know it is overwhelming for most, but it is just right for me. : )

Punk, the napkin holders are green and red Christmas ornaments. I found the set of 12 at Sal. Army a few yrs ago. They have a flat bottom slightly off center, so the top of the ornament faces the place setting and can hold a place card. Yes, those are crystal teardrops in graduated sizes, also a TS find.

Nana, I have gold placemats and then the table ends get green chargers with a green napkin and red napkin holder. The side chair settings have burgundy chargers with burgundy napkins and green napkin rings.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

TTFN,

I love the china hutch & chandy decor alot! The top of your hutch draws my eye with the ivy or holly(?), snowman & that deer/sleigh & the tall glass candleholders (or goblets?)...just is very beautiful! And love the doors open ...& then the chandy...you've decorated it so beautifully! Love it!

Also the Nativity set looks wonderful on your teacart ...a precious re-gift! Everything is so elegant...TFS, candy & yup, I'm ready for an upstairs tour, too! LOL! Jeanne S.

I am ready for an upstairs tour too! I am just so sorry we missed the chance to see it all in real life :(

Candy, your dining room looks really lovely. Are those pinecones on the china in your hutch--they look so pretty but I couldn't quite make out the design. I'm enjoying seeing your home all decorated for Christmas so you bet I'm ready for more! Luvs

Luvs, the tea set, platter, and large footed compote have pink Christmas roses with pine boughs and holly around them.

The plates are more of my Radko.

I've always been a big fan of "Too much of a good thing is wonderful" decorating approach, so this is right up my alley. I love all the gold, especially used with the burgandy and green. I love the trees on the chairs, always see those at DT and never know what to do with them. It's always fun getting a personal tour of someone's home, carry on.

Candy, it's just perfect. I love it! Janet

Candy, I'm behind in posts and trying to catch up. All the gold is really pretty. I especially like that wonderful Nativity set!

hugs, Karen

Frou, Originally, the white trees were used for a table that my DD and I did for my church's "Home for the Holidays" ladies luncheon. I used a black round tablecloth on a round table for 8. Then I used 8 of the white trees as a tabletopper with the tops pointing to the center. I will post a picture later as the SD card is currently in the camera. As you may have surmised from my posts, I never met a decoration I didn't like, LOL. I like the over-the-top style, which I realize is not for everyone, but it works for me.

Janet and Karen, I really like that nativity. The setting needs a bit of tweaking, but I was so short on time this year, that that is as good as it got.
I had from Dec. 6 til I hosted the family party on Dec. 19 to finish the decorating, shopping, cooking, and wrapping so needless to say, not everything received the usual attention to detail.

Thanks.
TTFN,
Candy
