Christmas Dining Room! & We got our Real Tree

Well after sleeping in late today, I feel like I got a lot

accomplished!  We even went and got our real tree since next

weekend we will be in NYC to see all of the beautiful decorations

and do some sight seeing!! I can't wait:)

Well I have a lot of pictures of how I decorated this year so I

will break it up in a few posts.  I am really happy with how everything turned out:)
Here is where we got our tree.  It is a Christmas tree farm
right around the corner from our house.

It is a tradition for us to take our dog, Jackson along to help

us find the perfect Christmas tree and I think this year he

out did himself:) 

Here is Jackson and Sean with the tree we picked.

It really doesn't look that big compared to the others

but when inside it is huge!!  It takes up one whole side of our living room :)

Big is Beautiful right?? :)

Here is a before shot of my dining room:
A clean slate:)



Here is the after shot:)

I went for a blue and green theme in this room with touches of gold.

The Santa in this picture was my inspiration for the color scheme

The Gold Charger below became a cheap display item for this table.

I got it for $1.00 at Walmart and then just added a decal that said the

"The Gathering Place" in green to match in the other decorations on the table.

Super easy and only cost about $4.50 to make!

Here is a close up of it!

I love how nice the green and gold go together.

The green glitter trees are from Celebrating Home and the

gold are from Christmas Tree Shop.  I love all of the glitter in this

room!  You should have seen my face after I was done decorating!

I absolutely love this Santa and got him for only about $14 after

all of my Michael's coupons!  I sometimes wish they would stop sending them

to me!  I feel like I have to use them:)

Here is a close up of the dining room tree.

And finally my dinning room table.

Well I hope enjoyed the dinning room tour:)

Next up the living room & bath room trees:)

Happy Holidays!
