White Christmas
Ok, so I thought I'd be posting my mantel by now.
But I just couldn't bring myself to pull out my glittery trees when I'm in the
middle of sanding my dining room furniture in the dining room.
Plus I don't think it's a good idea to mix dust with glitter.
So I told myself...I'd finish up the sanding part and then I'll decorate my mantel.
And then I'll paint the furniture.
So in the meantime...
enjoy these Christmas visions from
Canadian House & Home
The common denominator here is white.
Which is the color I am painting my dining room furniture
or what color I will paint it once it is all sanded.
Martha Stewart - Popcorn to be exact.
It will look a little like this.
I just have three more chairs to do...
and then I'll vacuum and clean up
and then do the mantel.
I usually don't decorate till mid December but because of the blog...I thought I'd do early
but I'm too much in the middle of my dining room project.
I've heard that more dining room furniture is sold at the holidays than all the rest
of the year put together because everyone wants their dining room pulled together
for guests and family.
I guess I'm no better.
I should have knocked it out last month...but of course I procrastinated...
but the important part is - that I am doing now.

Good for you for sticking to task Nita and painting the dining room set. I never decorate this early either, but because of blogland I have already done a lot of it. Come on by and say hello!
So can we expect to see a flocked tree on a table??
Thanks for stopping by.

Can't wait to see the mantel! Love the photos you posted. Very inspiring! Good luck with the dining room. :)
All such lovely images of white, very inspiring. I can't wait to see your table and chairs, sounds like lots of work. Just getting decorations up can be exhausting, I tend to procrastinate also, but always seem to get more accomplished when I'm under a deadline
So beautiful! I can't wait to see the pics of your set! I may be inspired to do my kitchen table....So far all I have done is collect paint chips!
I have your quilt - let me know when you want it :)

I LOVE that dark gray-silver ornament wreath but what's hanging from it? It looks like a rubber chicken.
Uhuhu! Love this house!! Do they really exist???....

Beautiful...I love a white Christmas.
Thanks for sharing.
Great pics! White has got to be the easiest color to decorate with. No matching, just lots of white and all the shades blend together. Can't wait to see your dining table!
I love the branches in the vase and the black and white horse photo and the chairs and the....
Oh hell, I love it all!
You go girl on the sanding etc. What a great sense of satisfaction you'll have when your family is around it for the holidays! Can't wait to see it.
If your mantel is anything like the pictures you posted it will be fabulous!
Getting your dining room "done" (in quotes because are any of us ever done?!) will be the best present you can give yourself this year! And sharingbit with us will be like we unwrapped a cool present. Can't wait for the reveal!
I can not *wait* to see how it all turns out. Your house is always so beautiful and I'm pretty much green with envy.
And isn't it nice to have blogland to share all your endeavors with, so lots of people can appreciate all your hard work. It makes it so much more fulfilling. And I love seeing everyone else's ideas. It's like a continual catalog!
WOW this is some amazing Christmas inspiration Nita!!!!
Love it all :)
