Visions of sugar plums Christmas tablescape

What does “visions of sugar plums danced in their heads” look like to you? I have started this tradition with my grandkids 2 years running...that I create a sugar plum breakfast for them in my dining room and they LOVE It!
First they get to decorate my little white tree with all kinds of bright colored ornaments I’ve collected through the years. You can see the tree last year HERE
Then it’s my turn to bring on the sugar plum fairy dust if you will. I bring out pink glittered reindeer, baubles, and shiny balls, white glittered garland and decorations of all kinds to create this fantasy of visions of sugar plums! Pictures from last year are HERE
I hang multi colored ornaments from my chandelier with fishing line to hover over the table.
I saved all my paper snowflakes that I cut out from last years Sugar Plum Fairy dining room and attached them to the ceiling with tape with the help of My youngest daughter Emily and our good friend Isabella!
I used a combination of pink and turquoise salad plates laid on top of my white dinner plates to bring in the colors of the room.
All things silver with lots of glittery type decor mixed with turquoise blue and hot pink combined with hints soft pink and robins egg blue all on a canvas of a white tablecloth make for a pretty “Visions of Sugar Plums” dancing in their heads tablescape.
The next morning they fly down the stairs to see what gift is sitting on their plates from Grandma Ree Ree (my nickname) and Pappa
There is nothing like creating a fantasy world for my little grandkids….I love every minute of it!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
