Christmas Dining Room Updated

Joining Cindy at Show & Tell Friday

show and tell fridays

I’ve had these 4 paper angels for many years, adding different colors of paint to them through the years. I still wanted to use them in the dining room, since that’s where I put my ceramic Nativity set. And the angels just have to go the the Nativity set. Since i re-re-re-re-painted the dining room last spring in Palladine Blue from Benjamin Moore, the angels had to be updated to match.

I did have to take this entire garland apart to find the culprit ….1 of the 3 strands needed new fuses. An easy fix but only after everything was taken off.

I used a dark pearlized turquoise and a the paler aqua was made from adding white to same turquoise.

Got to hide, tuck that cord behind the hutch some how.

The ball ornaments are Martha Stewart collection, they look baby blue in my pictures but they are really the pale aqua matte.

Almost done decorating. It’s an exciting Christmas here….My heart is full of joy since Liz & Dave will be here for 2 weeks, 2 weeks away from Walter Reed! And son will be home also. What could be better?

It looks so pretty! I love the color co-ordination you have going. I am addicted to traditional Christmas colors, but everytime I see a room fixed up like this I want to rethink traditional!

Have a great weekend,
Jennifer
