Setting a Holiday Table

This year my holiday table will glitter with gold, white and touches of red.

I incorporated items that I already had and added a few new touches.  (I love to buy decor on sale after the season and pack it away for the following year...it's like opening a new gift at the beginning of the season each year!)

A mirror sets the centerpiece with my favorite tealight candles.  The reindeer and linens were purchased at TJ Maxx. (Of course at a steal!)  To add height I giftwrapped a tissue box.  The gold beaded garland was one of my after season finds. 

The table runner was created using ribbon.  A simple solution that can be applied to any themed table.

A simple hurricane filled with ornaments adds some color.  (Again a TJ Maxx find!).  A special gift box covered in flowers is a simple DIY.  (Tutorial to follow.)

Are you ready for holiday entertaining?  How do you set your holiday table?

Not being one to stand on line a 2:00 am I do my Black Friday shopping online.  Had to share this great online Black Friday deal.

This ceramic double gourd lamp was a steal at $39.99 a few weeks ago. Today it's is on sale for $31.99! (You can combine this with free shipping too!)

There are a few colors to choose from.  You can check those out here.  Doesn't come in a color that works in your space?  At this price nothing a can of spray paint can't fix!

Kitchen Sneak Peek

I've been busy, busy, busy...

The holidays are fast approaching and I have so many projects in the works.  I've been kickin' into high gear to get the kitchen done before guests arrive on Thanksgiving! 

Nothing says Thanksgiving like turkey and stuffing made in a kitchen full of paint cans and sandpaper.  Mmmmmmm.  (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)  You can check out my post on my kitchen update here if you missed it.

Here's a sneak peek of what's been going on...

Plenty of after photos to come!

Are you doing any home projects in anticipation of guests on the holidays?
