Simple Holiday Brunch

Amidst all the Christmas morning activity

and the oodles of wrapping paper covering the floor

I like to set a simple Holiday table where you can sit down

 and enjoy a few moments of conversation

 while the kids load their Ipods or play their new wii games

For this table~ I started with a vibrant Christmas bouquet of 

deep pink tulips, pales roses and pink alstroemeria in a simple white pitcher.

The colors set the tone a bit for a more traditional red and white table

with a touch of green and a little bit of bling.

I love adding a few candles for ambiance~ even for a daytime table setting.

These candlesticks from Mikasa from their Countryside collection 

are gorgeous and perfect for the occasion.

 I  absolutely love the white and silver combination and that they mix in perfectly 

with other pieces and colors as well.

The cake pedestal and water pitcher are also Mikasa from the same Countryside collection

Love the scalloped silver edging on the platter 

Vintage partridge plates from the thrift store 

mismatched flea find silver,  Mikasa Countryside stemware

 and a centerpiece with silver beads and vintage red ornaments.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! 

We spent the day with family ~ just relaxing and enjoying the quiet pace together. 

It was so nice to have some time to just visit after all the craziness.

It's back to work this week
I have a couple projects coming up and I am getting ready to start working on a room 

makeover this week- which I am super excited about.
 I am also starting work on making a few resolutions
 for my personal life and for my blog for the coming year.

I cannot believe it is already almost the New Year!

 See you this afternoon for Feathered Nest Friday!!
