Christmas Chalkboard and Chalkboard Advent Calendar

By The Style Sisters - Tuesday, December 11, 2018

Christmas Chalkboards

I love creating a fun Christmas feeling in my house using my chalkboards. I have one that I spray painted the frame gold and I have it hanging in our dining room. For Christmas I hung a lighted green garland around the top edge of the chalkboard to bring in some sparkle.

Above the chalkboard closer to the ceiling I hung a tree branch using fishing line and some push pins... It worked perfectly! Using more fishing line I hung from the tree branch some large glittered snowflakes, some white paper honeycomb balls and one large hot pink pleated fan, all from Walmart! I still need to get one of my daughters to write something cute on this chalkboard for me.

I saw this idea on @idreamofhomemaking and we tried out the idea on my sisters chalkboard wall in her kitchen and I LOVED how it turned out so much I decided to create one for me on my other big chalkboard in my kitchen nook area.

I basically did the same things... I added a lighted green garland, Hung a branch from the ceiling with fishing line and push pins....

I hung white star type ornaments from the branch and then I had my daughter write the words and numbers for me :)

For the mini wreath around the numbers I wrapped some mini leaf garland around a couple of times and added some sticky back Velcro. The sticky back sticks to the chalkboard without damaging the chalkboard #forthewin

How many of you use chalkboards in your houses?

Christmas Tablescape- Lime green and Red

By The Style Sisters - Wednesday, December 10, 2014

I am so excited to show you my Christmas Tablescape idea! As part of my Christmas home tour here is my kitchen nook... Please link up your Christmas home tour here

So many fun details to share with you! First up the napkins- My cute mom made these napkins for me a year ago. They are made from painters drop cloth and she used Laser transfer paper that you print from your printer and then simply iron it on. I've used them over and over and washed them a million times and they have held up perfectly! Are you seeing the cute silverware paper? More about that in a minute.

I really do love red mixed with lime green. I bought these bright red chargers when I lived in Texas at Garden Ridge (I miss that store). The lime green salad plates and the green goblets are from Pier 1. Check out these other tablescapes where I used the lime green salad plates and red chargers

On each napkin I placed a sprig of evergreen and a small plastic red ornament...I've used glass before but inevitably one breaks :(

My mom or sister bought this cute red cake plate for me a few years ago..I love it! I can place a doily over the Christmas tree and use it for Valentines Day or the 4th of July! Check out where I used it here and here

The Sparkle- I draped my chandy with the same garland I used on my Christmas tree...so festive! The tree in the center works perfectly with its red and lime green berries. I used large red ornaments all around the base and white cups with black and white striped straws.

I am in love with this silverware paper! I used it for my Thanksgiving table as a runner but this time I cut 6 pieces to use as placemats and I still have lots left over! I bought it from a darling shop called Nest Boutique...see link below.

Over in the corner is my Hot chocolate Bar...if you missed that post you can see it here. I just noticed the fabric on my chairs flow really well with the color scheme. I might need to change out the turquoise artwork in the white frames...remember last year I did pastels in this room.

I. Love. this.

I bought my roll of paper at my friend Brittany's shop called Nest Boutique that is right by my house but you can find similar papers as well as super cute clothes and lots of other fabulous home decor in her online shop at Nestboutique Tell Brittany Hi for me :)

What are you doing for your Christmas Tablescape this year?

Visions of sugar plums Christmas tablescape

By The Style Sisters - Monday, December 01, 2014

What does "visions of sugar plums danced in their heads" look like to you? I have started this tradition with my grandkids 2 years running...that I create a sugar plum breakfast for them in my dining room and they LOVE It!

First they get to decorate my little white tree with all kinds of bright colored ornaments I've collected through the years. You can see the tree last year HERE

Then it's my turn to bring on the sugar plum fairy dust if you will. I bring out pink glittered reindeer, baubles, and shiny balls, white glittered garland and decorations of all kinds to create this fantasy of visions of sugar plums! Pictures from last year are HERE

I hang multi colored ornaments from my chandelier with fishing line to hover over the table.

I saved all my paper snowflakes that I cut out from last years Sugar Plum Fairy dining room and attached them to the ceiling with tape with the help of My youngest daughter Emily and our good friend Isabella!

I used a combination of pink and turquoise salad plates laid on top of my white dinner plates to bring in the colors of the room.

All things silver with lots of glittery type decor mixed with turquoise blue and hot pink combined with hints soft pink and robins egg blue all on a canvas of a white tablecloth make for a pretty "Visions of Sugar Plums" dancing in their heads tablescape.

The next morning they fly down the stairs to see what gift is sitting on their plates from Grandma Ree Ree (my nickname) and Pappa

There is nothing like creating a fantasy world for my little grandkids....I love every minute of it!
