Rustic Glam Christmas Tablescape












Photography by Madi Flournoy Henderson


I'm beyond excited to share today's post with you all...my rustic glam Christmas tablescape!  Sharing lifestyle posts is something that I plan to do more of in 2018 so I thought I would get a jump start and offer some decor inspiration for your Christmas table!

Christmas decor brightens and warms up our homes so much this time of year and for me personally, it brings me so much joy.  Creating a beautiful inviting tablescape adds more warmth to any home and it creates a welcoming space where people wish to congregate.  

Whether you are hosting family, friends, both, or just your immediate family for the holidays, my rustic glam Christmas tablescape is easy to create and it does not take a lot of time.  You can get inspiration from my tablescape or you can mimic this look by using the exact pieces shown here.  I hope today's post inspires you to create a beautiful table for whomever you are hosting this holiday season.

I planned my tablescape around this red & white striped tablecloth that I fell in love with!  It's not your traditional holiday tablecloth and that's why I love it so much.  You can use it for the holidays and for many other occasions as well.  I also adore the tassel fringe detail, which adds such a unique touch to this tablecloth.  And for the price (it's under $15), this tablecloth is high quality and is well made!

Pairing stripes with another print is always a great idea so I chose these forest green and white gingham cloth napkins next!  They come in a pack of 6 and are right at $15 as well.  They are high quality and perfect for your holiday gathering!  Gingham always feels a bit more casual (think picnic style) and I felt that these cloth napkins were in line with my rustic glam vision.  And how cute are these frosted foliage napkin rings?!  The pinecones give a woodland feel and the berries/frosted greenery adds a bit more glam to this napkin ring.

To keep with a rustic style, I chose some wood slab chargers as well as some small wood slices to set my tealight candleholders on.  I also selected flatware that looks like sticks!

For the "glam" element of my tablescape, I incorporated several mercury glass pieces like this pedestal hurricane candle holder, these pillar candle holders, and these tealight candleholders.  Mercury glass is so beautiful, especially when you light your candles and dim the lights...the light just glows off of the glass.

I finished my tablescape by adding some greenery that I picked up at Publix and some tree trimmings that I picked up from our local Christmas tree lot.  You can stop by your local tree lot and ask for tree trimmings (they should give the trimmings to you for free) and then you can create as much natural greenery for your table as you would like.  I also added fresh cranberries in the centerpiece to tie in the berries from the napkin rings and to pull it all together.  I would finish my table with a wine & water glass for me and Peter and a mason jar with ribbon and a little greenery for Reins and Addison.

Thank you for letting me share our rustic glam Christmas tablescape with you...I hope you find inspiration and if you do & wish to share how you were inspired on Instagram, please feel free to tag me @kbstyled or use the hashtag #kbstyled.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...I hope you have a great day!

Decking the Halls with At Home

MANTEL DECOR C/O AT HOME

The day after Thanksgiving, Peter and I head up to the attic to gather our Christmas decorations.  This year when we brought our decorations down, the reality hit that I had actually gotten rid of a lot of our holiday decor when we moved back in August.  So, I stood there looking at just a few small boxes quickly realizing that it was time to shop!

When we moved, we knew we wanted a fresh start so for us that meant everything.  Because we parted with almost all of our old Christmas decor we were left with a beautiful blank slate to work with.  

I was so excited to pick out new decor and I had the best experience shopping for these pieces at At Home.  I had visions in my mind of what I wanted our mantel to look like but I also didn't know exactly what I would use to achieve it.

If you've never shopped At Home, you must!  Their accessories are so unique and you are sure to find what you are looking for or even something better than what you had in mind.  That's exactly what happened when I was there shopping for holiday decor.  There were sooooo many amazing options that fit nicely with my vision and I enjoyed playing around with various accessories and combinations until I achieved my favorite look with the pieces that I bought.  You should have seen me in the store, I was organizing things on the shelves and switching things in and out as if it were our mantel!  A good two hours later and I was heading home like Santa with a bag full of goodies (well and Santa cam too)!

We spend so much time in our family room so I wanted it to feel warm and cozy, which it does.  Our Christmas tree is to the left of our mantel so it all ties together so nicely and we love sitting in this room, with the fireplace on, spending time together as a family.  This time of year, we are watching Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows!   Our family room is our favorite room and I just love seeing it decorated for Christmas.

So my reason for redecorating this holiday season was simply because we wanted a fresh start in our brand new home and because I wanted our family room to have that extra warmth to it!  And I'm so glad that I was able to find the perfect pieces at At Home!

If you are looking for some finishing touches for your home this holiday season, you must check out At Home!  I'm sure you will find a thing, two, or three that will help make your home as warm and cozy as ours!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.  My in-laws arrive today so I will be busy ensuring we are ready for their stay!  Have a great day everyone.
