Holiday Table Setting 101

Here are just a few tips for setting a charming holiday table.

Use a table runner to set the stage and the color palette.

Candles are a must.  Nothing too strong, but I love the twinkle they give.

Festive candy is an inexpensive way to add color and is fun for children.

Add green.  Real is best, but sometimes not practical.  Try an evergreen candle for illusion.

Most of my items are from here.

Remember the most important thing when decorating is to have fun 

and add your own personal touch.

Happy entertaining!

Home Update

Yesterday I hung our holiday wreathes and finally ordered our front door.  

I have been looking at doors and paint color for a while now.  

I fell in love with Julia Engel's front door of Gal Meets Glam.  

My door with be a very similar design and color.  

Coming soon.

I also hung the mistletoe!

As the weather turns much colder here in Utah

it's reminding me to hang our holiday wreaths sooner rather than later.

Stay tuned for a home update,

and maybe with any luck a new door before the holidays.
