French Farmhouse Winter Tablescape
Welcome! Welcome!
Please join me for a French Farmhouse Winter Tablescape.
Today I am celebrating the season of frost and snow (although we have none!) with this Winter tablescape for any occasion.
I set this table for my husband and myself for our candlelight Christmas dinner.
I was not heavy handed in Christmas decorations as I often enjoy keeping our tablescapes up for a week or more, so my focus remained on the essence of Pine Trees, Candles, a DIY Floral arrangement and bow shaped napkins.
Homemaking Influenced by History, Nature and Elegance
We all have artistic passions which influence our own personal decorating style.
For me this is combining well loved pieces, nature and easy going elegance.
I naturally enjoy incorporating the untamed beauty of nature with a dash of gilded beauty to create a certain mystery and historical charm.
I enjoy this blended harmony.
Tablescapes Are Art
As you can see I abstractly harnessed the golden sunsets in a golden mercury vase surrounded by leggy golden deer candlesticks.
Adding hayfield green Handmade pine tree soy candles then topping it all off with napkins folded like bows and secured with emerald green and golden napkin rings.
First Tablescape On The Farm
Celebrating the days of Old.
Just A Girl with some Plastic Ballerina Plates
Seems I at my best surrounded by rushing rivers, gardens toppling over with hefty blooms and always purple hued mountains.
Which brings me to my first tablescape design on my 100 year old Farm ions ago.
I designed my first tablesetting when I was five years old using my pink plastic dishes with the silhouette of a ballerina on them.
My childhood tablescape consisted of a table runner which was made out of red crepe paper.
I was in glee with my simple circumstances because nature swept in and filled in this simplicity with abundant colors, sounds and her nurturing essence.
I find myself continuing to harness the energy of my roots into my French Farmhouse decorating Style.
Perfectly Imperfect Décor
What was meager in supplies was supplemented from the earth.
I imagine that the terminology "tablescape," was not even around in the early 60's.
I crafted fresh handmade truffles out of mud from the edge of the cattail lined river and lucky for me one of my favorite companions, our cat, also known loving as Miss Muffat joined me.
Today my love of the earth, rich colors, and perfectly imperfect décor continues and is present in various spots in our home.

Winter Tablesetting: DIY Soy Candles, Pillars and Pine Trees
Tapers, Votives and Pine Tree Candles
Be sure to add the glow!
- I used 4 tapers of 2 different heights and in white and gray and placed them in clear and white candlestick holders.
- Then I placed the hay - green Pine Tree soy candles that I made with Tom Daley on Pinterest TV on vintage brass coasters.
- I randomly placed votives/tea lights in clear glass containers around the table as well ( I made votives as well.)
- LED votive candles placed in three golden deer.
