Holiday Tabletop by B.D. Jeffries


Since I enjoy looking for creative ideas for holiday decorating, I always look forward to the December issues of my magazines.  This year, I was most impressed with this tabletop design by B.D. Jeffries featured in Atlanta Homes.  This rustic and elegant design is a perfect combination for  my holiday decorating.


This red ribbon on this beautiful mercury pedestal bowl adds just the right touch of color.


These twig trees are fabulous - I might have to find some of these.


The Faux Bois dinnerware  is by Kon-tent.



The glassware has a beautiful shape and the etching adds interest.

If I stacked all of my December magazine issues I have saved over the years for inspiration, it would probably be about three feet high.    While I receive the Veranda and House Beautiful issues online, I still get the hard copy so this pile continues to grow.   Do you have a pile of holiday issues of magazines that you find you can't part with?   


While I have about seven crates of holiday decorations, I now prefer a much more natural look and mostly decorate with fresh greens.  Since our girls are older now and I am not decorating with small children in mind, I prefer "less is more".   I look forward to picking up some greens at the local flower markets this weekend, and start my holiday decorating.

  2. I really loved Atlanta Home's Dec issue too & this inspiring table setting. I also have a pile of holiday issues I can't part with and just did a post about magazines' coverage of the Holidays. It includes a pic of all my Canadian House and Homes! Just wanted you to know it was so helpful to come across your post back in 12/10 about the 2003 Southern Accents issue and I mentioned it today. Best, Michele
