The quiet weekend lent itself to decorating the dining room.
The tree is not yet up, but I did complete my table centerpiece. Using my mother's antique three-tier server, I added ribbon, tiny packages, and red and silver balls.
The original idea was pinned onto Pinterest - it was designed by Sweet Designs. She used lots of white, I went with the traditional red.
On the sideboard, my Pampered Chef trifle bowl is filled with brightly colored glass balls ~
My two dining room vignettes are similar, or shall we say coordinating. I'm already enjoying them a lot!
What did you decorate this weekend? Or what bargains did you find on Black Friday?

Beautiful! I love your mom's antique and pretty three tier, I love that kind of things. I also love your crystal bowl with Christmas balls. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, FABBY
ReplyDeleteMary, I wanted to say thank you for your very kind comment about my dog. The new little lady's name is Sophia (my son named her) and she is a little puff ball with a hearty appetite! Thanks for your thoughtfulness and support. xo Malia
