More Indoor Christmas Decor

Hi everyone! I thought I’d show you some more of our indoor Christmas decorations. Earlier when I showed you our mantel and one of our trees, I had said that I was going with a white, silver, and green color scheme this year. Did I mention burlap and lace?

Here’s the dough bowl decorated for Christmas. This year I put some little battery operated lights down inside of it which gives it a nice glow at night.

Our house is old, and there are 2 wooden dividers that separate the living area from the dining room. I made some burlap and lace tablecloths to cover them. On Christmas Eve, these dividers will be loaded with all kinds of sweet treats and desserts!

On top of the dividers are small trees in galvanized buckets. The trees were unlighted, so I took 2 strands of white lights and tied burlap bows and brown jingle bells on them.

And since I had some cotton left over from my Thanksgiving tablescape, I tucked some into my 2 little trees!

Right now the dining table is dressed very simply with a white and a burlap tablecloth and 3 cypress trees in galvanized buckets.

Here’s the sideboard and corner cabinet in our dining room.

There are some paperwhite bulbs planted down inside the ivy in this container. I hope they bloom by Christmas.

I moved our collection of jugs up to the top of the corner cabinet.

This snowman is hanging out with this vintage bottlebrush tree that I found at the auction. I got it for FREE because no one wanted it in the middle of the summer!

The cupboard in the dining room houses my snowman collection.

One of the dividers has open shelves facing the dining room, so I placed my new tool box that I just recently got at the auction on one of the shelves. I would put it on my table, but there won’t be room for it with all the food that will be on it soon. You can see where I put some of my painted pine cones.

And you can see how I hung some of the other pine cones above the dividers.

Beside the mantel I created another display with an original watercolor of Father Christmas.

A reader of our blog who attends our church painted it. Isn’t he the cutest thing?

Here’s another one of Marti’s Santas. If you are a local reader and are interested in one of these, just email me and I’ll put you in touch with Marti.

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing some more of our decorations here at the cottage. I have a few more things to do in the kitchen, and then I’ll be able to show you our kitchen decorations.

  3. Jane, your home looks so beautiful all dressed up for Christmas. I love every Holiday accent, specially your snowman collection. Very, very pretty!

  4. You’re right, we had the same idea with burlap bows on our little trees! I love yours in a bucket, and the cotton looks great. Your snowman collection is fun- I have a weird kink in my brain that causes me to call snowmen Santas and Santa snowmen. I always have to stop and think about which is which before I say one or the other! :\

  6. Jane~ Your home is so festive and I love the burlap combined with lace and your galvanized buckets of trees! I’ve been looking for a dough bowl for a while now~ I’d rather have a real one than a reproduction. The addition of battery operated lights for a little glow is wonderful!

  8. Wonderful! It all looks so bright and cheerful Jane! I’m going to have to borrow your idea of the battery operated lights inside of the bowl, that’s so clever! Love the bits of lace combined with the burlap, I’m in such a lace mood lately, I guess I’m not the only one!

  9. Love all the burlap and I totally love the 3 trees on the dining room table. I looked for those little cypress trees here and couldn’t find them. I think they look perfect! Have a good week…Ann

  10. It all looks very beautiful. You have a huge house and so your collections have room to be displayed with ‘dignity’…not crowded in at all. I like how you have old and new and natural all mixed together. I like your table just with the trees. I love the around here they are sold as Lemon Cypress. Oh to have three. It’s so striking. Thank you for sharing and giving us tips along the way.

  11. Everything looks so festive and cheery. I love the trees in the galvanized buckets. It is so simple yet so very elegant. I’d say that you have quite an eye for knowing how to decorate! 🙂

  13. The house looks beautiful. I am sure you have enjoyed decorating it as it surely does show. The natural theme is prevalent all through the house. Merry Christmas. See you Christmas Eve. I cannot wait. Jean

  14. Hi Jane, everything looks great, I really like your room dividers. I bet they come in handy all the time. Your hutch looks beautiful. I see the fur babies leave the decor alone. 😉 xo

  19. Just beautiful Jane. I see you did incorporate the cotton in the trees. 🙂 I am luving the idea of adding the decor to the strings of lights. Hmm, having a ‘now why didn’t I think of that?’ moment.
    Hugs, Gee
