I keep all of the staples we love in our hot chocolate handy -- marshmallows of course! Red hots for a touch of cinnamon and the peppermint Hersheys so you get just hint of the peppermint with an extra shot of chocolate. ;)
I also love the peppermint sticks for the flavor, plus they are great for stirring. I don't know anyone that uses straws for hot chocolate, but they are CUTE and I love them so they are always on on the tray. Ha!
I found the softest Christmas table runner at Target that I placed over the buffet:
The ends are the best part -- you can get a better look at the puff balls and fringe on the end here:
I always struggle with centerpieces, all year round. I just never feel like I get it just right because it's too little or too tall or whatever.
This year I went SIMPLE and just threw my eucalyptus garland down the middle:
This stuff works so well all throughout the year! You can also see it on our mantel here.
I added a few berry pics here and there (told you I use those everywhere!) and then some votives tucked in as well. Those are a mix of Goodwill votives and yogurt containers I save. :)
I love the moody blue in our dining room and family room! You can see the simple way I dressed up those walls with trim here.
Other than that I just hung some wreaths from the windows and added some pillows to the window seat:
Oh! And the garland wrapped around the light fixture. :) Greenery goes such a long way when it comes to making a room feel festive!:
We host quite a bit, especially around the holidays, so I didn't want a ton of stuff in here that would get in the way. I love how it all came together!
Our morning room isn't as fancy as a dedicated dining room. It's open to our great room and kitchen, so I try to keep the decor low key and cozy:
Do you go all out in your dining room or keep it simple? Have you ever put together a hot chocolate station? It's such a cute spot that serves us well even beyond the holidays!
Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
I love all of the greenery! How did you hang the wreaths on the windows?
ReplyDeleteI love all of the greenery! How did you hang the wreaths on the windows?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I put the ribbon through our window and then shut it so it stays put. :)
DeleteLove the plaid tray; where did you find that?
ReplyDeleteFound it at Ross :)
DeleteOh shoot! We don't have a Ross here in Maine. Can I ask about the 'twas the night before Christmas frame? I love that too!
DeleteLove the mirror over your buffet; where is it from?
ReplyDeleteI believe I found that at HomeGoods!

Gorgeous as always, Sarah!!! You always decorate so beautifully, in all seasons!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! I love your buffet, but didn't see a link for it in the shop your home section of your blog. Can you share where you got it?
ReplyDeleteHello! I got it from a friend's shop here in Indy called Marshmallow Monkey. I don't think they're still in business but you could try emailing her through her site! :)
