French Country Christmas Dining Room

Happy Monday friends!!
Can you believe how fast Christmas is approaching us! 
This is my favorite time of year so in the middle of all the hustle and bustle I'm really making it a point this year to sit back and enjoy the true meaning of this season with my family!
~~~
Last week I showed you all our hutch dressed for Christmas...now let's have a look around the rest of the dining room.
I added a small pine wreath to the mirror using a simple Christmas ribbon.
If you missed seeing my hutch decorated for Christmas you can see it here.

I created a simple french country centerpiece.
I love how the little bottle brush looks tucked in the sugar bowl.
I added a paper white to my silver champagne bucket...it smells wonderful!

Another spray that I had for years...
the home decor shop where I bought these closed:-(
This pretty snowflake was made by my youngest last year in school...she was very happy to see it displayed in here!
I hope you all have a wonderful week! 
Enjoy this beautiful season!

    That dining room is just beautiful, Martina. I love the red transferware-it is just so perfect for the Christmas season.

    The little snowflake your daughter made is the perfect finishing touch for that swag. Love it! xo Diana

    I can't believe Christmas is almost here either. Would you believe I haven't finished decorating the family room yet? Love your dining room and the vignette. The little tree in your red/pink and white sugar bowl is so pretty, but my favorite is the "made with love" snow flake your daughter made.

    Everything looks wonderful. My favorites are the red transferware. I have never seen red transferware in stores, but I really need to find some pieces.

    I too am loving just enjoying Christmas. Tonight I might make sugar cookies, but I might not! I am not putting any pressure on myself.

    Love the centerpiece arrangement! The little bottle tree is adorable in the sugar bowl. The snowflake your daughter made is a treasure- love it on the swag. We've lost so many little deco stores in the area it saddens me. I've found some new ones but they require a lot of driving to get to them. Your paper whites look great- I didn't grow any this year but I did grow some amaryllis. I saw a Christmas tree using red transferware cups on it- very cute!
