My grandkids are with me this week and I decided to get out a little Christmas starting with the dining room. I turned it into a Sugarplum fairy room!
My granddaughter loves...the Fancy Nancy books...so that was part of my inspiration for all the bright colors.
The movie Elf was also part of my inspiration...the part when they are in the Gimbels department store and Buddy the Elf creates a snowflake masterpiece. I made a bunch of snowflakes to hang from the ceiling along with some white paper flowers..it looks so awesome!
My husband suggested. I also hang a few colorful ball ornaments fromthe ceiling as well..so creative!
On the table I started with a white tablecloth and layered two pieces of bright colored fabric, pink and turquoise blue. Then I added a silvery leafy garland and another pastel ball garland down the center with a few more bright colored pink ball ornaments mixed in. Two large clear jars filled with silver bells and some very glittery pink reindeer.
Hanging off the chandelier are more brightly colored ornaments to bring in the whole fun color theme.
I love the huge glass jars filled with silver jingle bells for a simple yet festive centerpiece.
On my side credenza I have apothacary jars filled with different kinds of candy and cookies.
I really wanted to fill the entire room with snowflakes haha but that would have taken me all night long!
Here is our snowman Christmas tree the kids helped me put up.
I just have the best time being with my grandkids...it really beings out the kid in me.

Holiday Tablescape Sneak Peeks
By The Style Sisters - Saturday, November 12, 2011
My daughter and I have been creating tablescape ideas for the upcoming holidays (and a little cooking group thing we are hosting). We drug out the holiday boxes from the garage (much to the dismay of the Hubby). After ransacking through all the billions of boxes we decided to go for something wild and do a BRIGHT colored Christmas tablescape. We LOVE the idea of hanging ornaments from the chandelier and so we started there and it just continued to explode throughout the dining room. Here are a couple of sneak peeks of that with more pics to come along with a few how-to's!
Here are a few of our Thanksgiving tablescape ideas using natural elements as well as faux. We tried to focus on using things that most people would have around the house or could be purchased inexpensively. Then we added a few embelishments like sheet moss and old books! It has turned out better than expected. We will have a few how-to's to follow in the coming week with this as well.
I am hoping to get ourselves on Good Things Utah but everytime I mention it my daughter just rolls her eyes. Rude! I am funny!

I AM STARTING TO DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY
I found some fresh real garland at Lowe's and draped it up the staircase, added white lights and red ribbon. 
Put some fake garland wrapped with white lights on the fireplace mantel and added a few apothacary jars, a bottle brush tree and a darling nutcraker.
Dragged out the antique sled from the attic and leaned up against the fireplace and hung the stocking close by.
Next I decided to deck the sideboard in the dining room with more fake garland wrapped in white lights. I had found these adorable green and red topiaries last year when shopping with my daughter Madeline at Garden Ridge and put them on either side.
Added a clear glass cake plate with a tall red candle holder vase thing a ma jig and then under the domes I added a cute snowman dude 
and one of those cute cardboard house ornaments
I know this one is blurry but it just looks so warm and glowy I stuck it in here. The tree is relecting in the mirror in the background. ahhhh
Here's the 9 foot Tree all done up.
Our front door with the wreath I made years ago.
Close up of the wreath...I think I need to fix the ribbon a bit.
Next up will be the kitchen if I get it done.

Hot Pink, Lime Green and Turquoise Christmas Tree
By The Style Sisters - Saturday, December 06, 2008
I simply love my daughters Christmas tree! It is filled with all these crazy colors and fun ornaments. I found most of these ornaments last year at Garden Ridge for something like...
80% -90% off at the after Christmas sale! 
When my girls were younger I would let them pick out unique Christmas ornaments to put on small trees in their rooms. They always seemed to pick these bright and wild colors and so as the years have passed they have collected many fun brightly colored ornaments.
Now that my oldest is married she wants more of the traditional looking ornaments so Emily gets to keep all these crazy ones for now. I keep asking her if this is the kind of tree she wants to have someday when she is married and she always answers .."of course! I love sparkly, shiny, foofy looking things and my husband and family will just have to love it too!" I love it!
I really enjoy looking at all these colors and at night when the tree is lit up is just glows!
The garlands look like beaded necklaces wrapped around the tree....little pink clear beads. For the tree skirt I had some lime green satin fabric laying around (from some pajama pants my mom and I had made for her volleyball team members a few years ago..Remember mom? We about pulled our hair out because the satin fabric would start to fray and fall apart so we actually made 11 pairs of pajama pants twice!!! OH Man they were a pain)
Emily draped the fabric around the base and it looks awesome!
