Welcome to stop five on this year’s holiday home tour. Today we’re visiting the dining room/front room. This space used to be divided into two small rooms and an entry walkway. Now it’s one big open space that welcomes in all who stops by.
The first thing you’ll notice is the entry table which features a watercolor Santa painted by my grandma and a bowl of candy canes, disco balls and Christmas cards received from family and friends.
Then we have the main Christmas tree. It’s the perfect spot to cuddle up next to the sparkly tree and read a good book on a snowy day.
The holiday drink cart is so very merry.
Moving on in to the dining room you’ll find lots of plants. It’s the brightest, sunniest spot in the house.
Various Target Dollar Spot village pieces collected over the years are tucked into the plant shelf.
This year we’ll just be hosting immediate family. In year’s past this space has comfortably seated 20 people for Christmas dinner. It’s the most used space in the house after the kitchen I absolutely love it.
This year’s dining table centerpiece features a row of fresh Christmas flowers and various battery-operated candles.
The dining room buffet holds memories of Christmas past and more battery-operated candles. There can never be too many memories or twinkling lights at Christmas.
Continuing around the room we have the china cabinet. First my great-grandparent’s, then passed to my grandparent’s and now in my possession to care for and enjoy. It’s filled with china and heirloom pieces handed down by family. The memories these pieces could tell.
I hope you enjoyed the Christmas tour of the heart of our home. May it continue to create special Christmas memories for years to come.
