RUSTIC SIMPLICITY – A HOLIDAY TABLE SETTING

November 7, 2019
  • Share

Holiday table decorating time! Woohooo! Today I am happy to share the simple tricks I use to set a chic yet easy holiday table. With this table decor, I partnered with @homedepot to create a lush and layered holiday table. Rustic simplicity is the theme.  For the first time in history, I am actually planning my holiday tablescape in advance!  I’ll show you the stress-free way to set a table that will make for cozy holiday entertaining with family and friends! Keep reading to see some super simple ideas! Or if you want to watch me walk through it watch the video here!

Here it is! My holiday table setting inspired by rustic simplicity. I had so much fun putting this together and I’m beyond happy with how it turned out. It is the perfect layered, rustic, and relaxed table. I hope you find some inspiration from it.

Here is a peek at the mood board I created while I was concepting out which items I wanted to use, creating a color palette, and solidifying my ideas. This helped immensely in creating such a simple yet elaborate table setting. I highly recommend you make your own mood board before jumping into the table design.

My inspiration for this tablescape started with the table cloth. It is a ticking stripe in a neutral tone. It’s the perfect base for building a country-themed table setting. I recommend picking one thing like a plate or tablecloth and grounding your design around that piece.

When I found these candlesticks I knew they would be the perfect addition to my tablescape. They are a lot larger/taller than I anticipated them being but they look great and add a new level to the table design overall. The wood adds a nice warmth to the design and complements the centerpiece. I also added in two white ceramic birds to add in a touch of white.

When I design a table I tend to use a lot of greenery. The greenery makes people feel warm, at home, and cozy. I used various heights of greenery in order to really create a layered look with a few focal points.

The glassware is one of my favorite details. They have little bumble bees on them. There are green glasses and wine glasses. They add the perfect dash of charm and whimsey. These glasses also ended up doubling as vases!

Next, I found these fantastic light blue ceramic plates. They have more of a romantic feeling with the soft edges. When I saw them with the table cloth in mind it gave me such a french country feeling – which is exactly what I am going for. I really enjoy creating layered tables that have multiple details. Layering the salad plate on top creates the perfect mini focal point.

I really love how the tablecloth, plates, flatware, and glassware all tie together. The colors, shapes, and finishes complement each other so well!

share

One of the coolest things I found while shopping is this flatware. You select your initial and they come in less than two days stamped with your monogram. I think it adds a classic feel while having some shine.

share

This tray is great because it has a hint of brass. I’m a big believer that mixing metals can look great – I never shy away from it. I was concerned about tying in the wood between the candlesticks and this tray but in the end, they are a perfect match. I through in a few pinecones to play off the holiday theme.

share

Another great find is these napkin holders. They add the perfect amount of gleam and it instantly makes your napkins more luxurious looking. A good tip is to always try to add a touch of sparkle/gleam to your table.

share

I cannot wait for the holidays to arrive so I can show off this table setting to my family and friends at our gathering. I know they will love it!

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!
