In the spirit of all things simple, I went with table centerpiece I could leave out all winter long. I'm calling it Rustic Glam, because it sounds better than Free Stuff I Found in My Basement And Yard.
I found the mirror at an antique store several years ago, but it wasn't attached to the frame. Rather than reattach them, I painted the inside of the frame with chalkboard paint, and it now lives in my dining room. In the meantime, the mirror works part time as an impromptu table runner for my kitchen table. I love how it reflects the light from the candles and adds a little extra sparkle.
I added a huge ironstone bowl filled with pinecones, a collection of mercury glass candles, and several pinecone candleholders in different sizes. For an extra (free) hit of nature, I added a few fresh cedar clippings from my yard.
If you caught my hot chocolate station post (and if not, you can check it out here), you know I've been looking for ways to incorporate these old family photos into my holiday decor. For the place settings, I layered simple black chargers, photographs, and clear glass plates I picked up on sale at target for about $3 each.
I won't lie, I've eaten on these place settings once already, and it's a little weird scraping pie off my plate and finding my great-grandmother's face smiling up at me. I like to think she's proud I cleaned my plate
Thanks for stopping by! We're picking out our Christmas trees (Yes treeS, but I promise, I'm reining it in this year) this weekend. Check back soon for a tour of our living and dining rooms all dressed up for Christmas!
