Dining room is all decked out!

Brrr...it's cold outside today.  I plan on staying inside maybe doing a little baking and hanging a few things up in my media room and library.  I was so happy to see my mail lady carrying a big box yesterday.  I got my curtains! Yippee, then I couldn't wait and put them up! More on those later. 

Here's what my dining room looks like.






My tree has a little strand of the faux cinnamon stick garland, gingerbread men, redware ornaments and cookie cuttters.



A close up of my new curtains, I decided to break up the window with tier curtains and I think it makes it look more cozy and homey in here now.  I love the look from outside of the house too.



My table holds a yelloware bowl, an old scale and some of the red/green plaid that I made into a runner a long time ago.  I'm just mad for plaid! LOL




I decided to go very simple here with some of the greens, a red cranberry wreath and white battery candle, I have mentioned those the other day.  Just set them and forget about them.  Love that!




a night shot, it flickers so nicely



the ole' pie safe with greens, pines and poinsettias



my Hoosier cabinet has gingerbread theme



an old cocoa tin, some gingerbread men, a little tree and some christmas towels



a view from the other side of the dining room as you walk in my front door this is on your right



Tomorrow I'll show you my new curtains and share a recipe!
Have a warm and cozy day!
