Royal Green Tablescape

Before the kitchen goes full on candy land, I wanted to put together a tablescape with the colors that I use in the living room. It's hard to turn that switch off when I've been decorating with green and white and brown and silver for days now. If you've seen my Christmas mantle, then you know I lean more towards a modern rustic pallet, but soon enough traditional reds and greens will be making the season even brighter.

Of course the fact that I found some great plates while thrifting the other day certainly played their part inspiring me. Dishes. I just can't help myself.

The centerpiece, super easy, in a small green pot, with long needle pine, pine cones, and birch sticks, very simple.

I mean you can't go wrong with pine cones!

The inspiration plates, here they are.... green and white and beautiful. I think they sort of epitomize this area, a grist mill, a rocky river and an oxen pulled cart. It actually reminds me of War Eagle Mill in Arkansas. The sides have plows and yokes. There is no markings on the back so I looked a little bit online, I found Royal Green, The Old Curiosity Shop plates, selling 30.00 for 5 vintage dinner plates. I certainly got a deal (I paid .99 cents each)!

I used white dinner plates and wicker chargers. Are you tired of seeing those yet? :)

The runner I used is from Target last year, running down the center of the table. It has a fun snowflake detail on the ends and a stitching down the sides. I've yet to get to Target this season, I've got to go see what they've got this year for Christmas.

Creamy white candles on tall holders, I love the little green berry garland around them.

Black napkins stuffed in everyday glassware, and everyday flatware.

Ornaments scattered on the runner, a festive addition. I think the black and green is really striking, and certainly a little different.

I'm done with the living room tree and I've been photographing it, so hopefully get a post ready for this coming week! Thank you all so much for all the comments on my mantle!If you would like to see the tablescape I created with this runner last year take a look here.

Have a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!
