Orangerie ~
This dining room is overflowing with delicious eye candy for your Holiday gatherings!
I have been decorating for a great cause this past week. Today is THE day for the Assistance
League of the Eastside Holiday Home Tour!
The amazing Cindy, from Haley’s cottage reached out to me and my very
talented friend Melaine, of My Sweet Savannah to help her decorate one of five beautiful
Homes in Woodinville, Washington!
This cool dining room was our blank canvas
and we did our best to create a little holiday magic!
Keeping it REAL, always my thing!
The homeowners space was already lovely but it got a gorgeous holiday makeover!
Check out the holiday transformation! The dining room is now a mini Orangerie!
It’s a holiday conservatory where hints of orange trees, amaryllis and
paperwhites are protected from the Christmas cold.
Here are some of the other elements used to create our Christmas Orangerie:
The Holiday Table ~
Furniture pieces from Haley’s Cottage like a pretty bench and
chairs give the dining room that eclectic feel!
The centerpiece is a worn wood
dough trough “planted” with amaryllis and paperwhites. Ornaments
moss and greenery are tucked in.
REAL holiday oranges are turned into ornaments by simply popping in
an ornament top and adding ribbon! {LOVE}
Everything pops against the beautiful black table runner and napkins from Crown Linen!
Florals float above the tabletop! Check out the unexpected hanging floral pom of fresh
roses, cedar and holly.
The Holiday sideboard ~
I brought in a few pieces from home for this, a big glass jug vase, vintage Italian
glass and brass tray and stacked vintage glassware. French bubbles of course!
A dessert pedestal holds pretty vintage oranaments.
The Holiday Extras ~
The Holiday Hutch
AND this dapper deer almost steals the show draped in a boxwood scarf and sash!
And this is just the dining room of our holiday home tour house!
1,500 people will tour five homes all decked out today in my corner of the
country. I’m excited and honored to take part in the ALE Holiday Home Tour.
The opportunity to decorate for a great cause gives even more meaning to
the holiday season. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
