Christmas is only 12 days away! I hope that doesn't cause you stress but
excitement and joy ❤
Honestly, that's one of the reasons I enjoy decorating my home in early
November. It gives me more time to do all the things, and I don't feel like
I'm rushed through the holidays.
I even pack my gifts as they arrive now, rather than waiting and doing it all
on Christmas Eve.
That is probably my number 1 tip to reduce stress during the holidays!
I'm excited to share my Christmas dining room with you. I don't think I've
ever decorated with green and gold before so this was new for me! You'll see I
did have to add some pops of red, it just doesn't feel like Christmas without
red!
My dining room ended up feeling so elegant and even more beautiful than I
expected! I hope you enjoy the tour!
Elegant Christmas Dining Room with Green and Gold
This year is the first Christmas I've decorated our dining room with the furniture in this configuration. I did some no-cost redecorating this summer and I highly recommend it if you're in a bit of a decorating rut and faced with a small budget!Green and gold Christmas tree
Our Christmas tree turned out even better than I imagined! I used a couple of
new decorations, but upcycled several inexpensive ornaments (and even old
ones) to elevate their look!
Gold spray paint
was my friend! Click here to see how I easily updated some old and inexpensive ornaments to fill this tree.
Because our dining room isn't huge, I wanted to set my flocked tree (see
similar
here) in a basket, rather than using a skirt or collar. You can watch this
short video that
explains how we made a DIY tree stand using PVC and concrete. Mr DIY and I
made three of these stands this year, and they were really easy.
These
DIY wood finial ornaments
with the gold details add a softer touch of green to the tree, and they were
less than $2 to make.
I am in love with the easy Merry Christmas banners that I made. I
followed
these directions from Ella Claire, although I used 11x17 paper to print my message. Kristin has a free
printable on her site, but I ended up making my own. The banners just tuck
into the tree branches and I think they elevate the look of my tree! It's a
very simple and practically no-cost way to add elegance to your tree!
The
red berry picks
were added to help the Christmas tree tie into what's happening on the table
and in my hutch!
Elegant Christmas dining table
My table is set very simply, but I love how elegant it looks! The centerpiece
is simply a large white platter (see similar
here) with a green and gold tree, an ironstone pitcher filled with red berries,
and a few ornaments.
I used the same red and white striped fabric that I did last year, layering it
over my drop cloth ruffled table runner.
You can see last year's Christmas dining room here.
I love using the red and white Christmas tree transferware dishes that I
scored at Goodwill. It's so fun to pull them out once a year! I layered them
with a
white wood charger, a napkin, and then one of
these $3 melamine toile Christmas plates from Target. The dishes are topped with a little white ironstone berry bowl filled with
a single shiny red ornament.
The silverware is tied with
olive green velvet ribbon, which is so elegant on its own!
I used the same green velvet ribbon to tie a wreath onto the back of each of
the dining chairs. I've always wanted to try this and have to say that it
really adds so much style and elegance to the table!
To make the table feel extra festive, I filled small ironstone bowls with gold
ornaments and added my
brass candlesticks.
I think this might be my favorite Christmas table to date, I love how it all
works so well with the tree.
Black hutch
I couldn't ignore my hutch! Centered on the wall at the end of the table, it
commands presence. It's filled with some of my thrifted white ironstone, and I
simply added an abundance of
inexpensive red ornaments.
The red really pops against the white. A pretty red pillow on one of my side
chairs continues the theme and I hung a DIY ornament garland from the shutter
above. The ornaments are simply tied onto a length of ribbon. You can see
exactly how I did it in
this post, although for this garland I did not tie the ornaments in clusters.
