Christmas Formal Dining Room

My formal dining room - although we won't be dining here on the big day,
 she certainly should not be feeling neglected!
Just like the living room, she's received the special treatment just in time for Christmas.


I wish I could get a better shot of the wreath in the window.
But alas, the light was just too strong (what a shame to have that problem, right?)!


This is yet another faux wreath that I have embellished with fresh boxwood cuttings
and suspended with a bronze ribbon.
It looks full and lovely and oh so real!
And for the bargain price of about $12 I really don't think you can do better!


The massive reindeer basket was a hand me down from my Mom.



I've filled her, simply, with both fresh and faux greenery and berries.


The sideboard holds it's own centerpiece as well as the lamps, candles and topiaries.



A platter, topped with fresh greens, metallic ornaments and a Christmas amaryllis
all tied up with a bit of ribbon.

If you can't go over the top for the Holidays, when can you?
