Here is what I've done in the dining room for Christmas! More detailed photos coming this week of the Altarscape--yes that is an altar, the Christmas tree, and the cloches.
I stuck with a pretty neutral palette in her, aside from the chairs that desperately need to be painted and reupholstered!
By placing mercury glass orbs on mercury glass candle holders, I created the look of a plethora of butlers' gazing balls. The largest one really is a butlers' gazing ball, so be it a reproduction.
I pulled in some cloches, because you just can't have enough of them. More on this vignette later this week!
My woodland Christmas tree, tucked in the corner. Later this week I will tell you how I made a $5.00 tree look like this!
I even added some glass icicles and jingle bells to the chandelier!
One last teaser shot of the room! Check back this week for details on each part of the room!

You and I would make terrific friends! I am such a huge fan of mercury glass - it's sprinkled generously throughout my home. Your dinning room decor makes my heart skip a beat! Your newest GFC follower. :)
