My All WHITE 2011 Christmas Dining Room





The dining room in my home is one area that I love to change up each year. It is so easy to do so, since I have a pretty neutral color base. Green, white with touches of black. This years table is a first for me. I did an all white color scheme.

Since I decided to do an angel wings theme I wanted it to feel soft, and ethereal. I know for myself when I enter this room I kind of feel like whispering and walking by very slowly.

I started with my chandelier by attaching mercury glass ornaments with fishing line so they would look as if they were floating.

I was really excited to see that it glowed and sparkled just like I wanted it too.  I used clear crystal and some mercury glass pinecone. If you look closely you will see some snowballs with a touch of white feathers on them.

The next picture is in the day time without candlelight. I think you can see that I sprinkled snow with a bit of sparkle in a starburst shape better in daylight in the pictures….

I did something really fun to add a little extra glow! I just took white lights and placed them on the floor under the table cloth, at night it really glows!!!

I love the way the crystal votive holders make a starburst pattern just like the snow on the table.

I hope during the Holiday season you will feel the presence of angels walking beside you…….
