Setting a Table with Quiet Color
Hello Everyone, in looking back over my Christmas tables, I noticed that most of them are drenched in color…so I decided to create a quieter one for this setting. I have noticed, in general, I seem to gravitate towards softer colors these days.
I took creative license with the centerpiece knowing one can’t see around it. I have a smaller vase of flowers I will display when the table is ‘actually’ used.
I purchased this Christmas china at Home Goods a couple of years ago and actually forgot I had it until cleaning out my dish cabinet. Is that awful or what?!
I am really into silver these days. I have always been a gold girl but silver seems lighter and more reflective to me. I just love it. The flatware is Reed & Barton. Snowflake napkin rings are from Hobby Lobby.
I have had the crystal stemware for many years.
I flipped when I saw this pair of silver candlesticks in Marshalls. Can you fall in love with candlesticks? Haha.
I added the little trees for a touch of whimsy and also because I like my centerpiece ‘filled up.’ I bet you never guessed that, did you? :-)
Hope you liked my table and many thanks for your visit today.

That holly themed china is exactly what I would love to find here. And I love those evergreen candles. My late mother used to have quite a few Christmas themed candles that you can't seem to get any more.
As always, your table settings are so elegant Barb!
Oh, you sure can fall in love with candlesticks. I love those forgotten plates too! I saw some napkins at Walmart that almost look like the same pattern!
Love your table and the softer colors Barb!
So nice. Congratulaction.
Gorgeous table and gorgeous colors Barb!
I love the combinations of the White and the Silver together. What a beautiful setting you have created. As I'm writing this I have a pair of silver candle sticks sitting on the table with little else. Now once again you've given me a little inspiration and I'll have to see what I can come up with.
Beautiful...just beautiful, Barb! I too LOVE silver! I love your gorgeous snowflakes!

It is all beautiful. Love the holly plates.
Love the soft colors of your table. The plates are great with the holly design. Good job and thanks for share your table.
This is a beautiful table, Barb. I love the soft green colors...Christine
Very pretty -- and I agree, a table doesn't have to "scream" to be noticed!
So pretty! I love your flatware.
The softness of this table is very welcoming. Funny that you forgot you had those beautiful dishes! Like a little surprise gift! I'm really loving silver this year, too.
I so love your plates and your napkin ring.
