Natural Rustic Christmas Table
Ideas for creating a natural, rustic Christmas table
Hello, friends! I’m so excited to be joining this year’s Home for the Holidays
blog tour sponsored by Sondra Lyn at Home! This is the 3rd year for her HFTH tour, and you’ll see some of the most
awesome decor, craft and recipe ideas you’ll find anywhere. Be sure to visit
all the blogs listed at the bottom of the post to get great ideas for your
entire house.
If you’re visiting here for the first time, WELCOME! I’m so glad you
dropped by. You can get to know more about me and the blog by going here
→ ABOUT ME. If you’re a regular reader, welcome to you as well! I hope you enjoy today’s
tour.
Today’s theme is tablescapes, and I’m sharing a simple, rustic table I put
together using branches I clipped from our yard, items from the grocery store,
and some pieces I had on hand. Simple is my middle name these days as I’ve
been purging and only using things that I love in our house.

Natural Rustic Christmas Table
For this tablescape, I used some vintage silverware I picked up a few weeks
ago. It’s from 1946 and I’ve really fallen in love with it. I got most of it
from an estate sale and picked up a few more pieces to finish the set
here.
To see my tips for shopping estate sales, read this post: How to Shop Estate Sales Like a Pro.
My favorite
white charger plates, some
holiday dinner plates, and vintage bread plates make up the bulk of the place setting. It’s a mix of
formal and casual, farmhouse and cottage, old and new.
A basic burlap table runner
anchors all of it and adds some texture to the table.
A simple rolled up
linen napkin
finishes off the plates. I wrapped some twine around it and then tucked in a
sprig of boxwood that I clipped from the back yard. I tied on a
small glass ornament
to give it a little pizazz.
I’ve had the glasses for several years and the brown works well with the
earthy theme and the brown holiday plates.
Keeping it simple on the centerpiece are some pomegranates and holly tucked
into a
wooden dough bowl.
Some pine cones and nandina branches add a bit more color and texture to the
table. And the
mini ornaments
bring a touch of bling to the setting.
Since we don’t have a dining room, this is on our breakfast room table that
we eat at every day. It usually doesn’t have much on it besides a few crumbs
and I’m really liking the simple decor. I’ll keep it like this through the
holidays.
