SIMPLIFIED SEASONS: CHRISTMAS TABLE SETTING

If you’ve been following along, you may know how much I love setting the table, every day and for the really special days. For Christmas, we keep our gatherings really intimate - and especially so this year - and really simple.

Taking a page from my table setting for Thanksgiving, our Christmas table uses what we’ve had and loved for years, with some seasonal additions, like greens and pinecones.

Sources for most everything are linked here, and for a few of that aren’t listed:

Rattan Placemats // Crate & Barrell // These are our everyday placemats that are in great shape after several years of daily use!

Glasses // mix of Ball and Kerr 8 oz. widemouth mason jars // also: our everyday glasses

Place card tags + twine // linked here // added: tiny pinecones + real greens clipped from our Christmas tree

Centerpiece // 6” grapevine wreath // Michael’s // added: faux greens from old wreaths + projects

I’m so grateful to share this space with you, and look forward to writing more in 2021. Wishing everyone a peaceful and beautiful Christmas week!


About Simplified Seasons: in this series, less is more, and I’ll be sharing simple traditions and my favorite projects that honor the changes that come with the flip of the calendar, preserve my sanity and bring the joy!
