Simplistic Style In Mind. . .

Simplistic Style In Mind. . .

With a simplistic style in mind for hosting Christmas On Crooked Creektt,

I began to set the design for the Dining Room built~in china cabinet

during a rearrange in August.

Simply shuffling a few vignettes behind the glass doors

 and adding a delicate touch of Christmas décor

brought about the symmetrical design that keeps me grounded

within my Traditional Style.

The use of a simplistic color palette

gives a cohesive appeal throughout each vignette display.

Choosing creamy ivory, tan and white

with a mix of Seasonal greenery soothes the visual senses

and allows one to enjoy the accents of Traditional Christmas red.

A frosted pine needle with red berry candle ring

rest atop the creamy ivory urn and dons a mocha hued spiral ornament.

A vintage scalloped creamy ivory plate and a white ironstone platter

serve as a backdrop for this ethereal vignette.

Tucked neatly within the vignette

 is my newest addition to my growing tureen collection.

The detail on the handles and lid are reminiscent of the wings of a Swan.

From a Christmas Past. . .

this precious Holly Hobby Commemorative Plate

is a treasured accent to our Christmas decorating year~after~year.

Surrounding the plate is a white vintage creamer with a lidded sugar bowl

and a pitcher filled with frosted holly and ivy.

Seasonal changes to this vignette include 

candy canes inserted within the tan pitcher and the addition 

of vintage miniature red glass ornaments inside the gravy boat.

An heirloom creamy ivory McCoy bowl filled with tan shredded gift packing paper

support the  vintage glass red stars adorned with tan satin bows.

The divided embossed pine cone serving platter holds homemade fudge, 

 white and milk chocolate pretzels on our dessert table 

for Christmas On Crooked Creektt.

A Christmas Present. . .

The Joy plate was a recent gift from a member of my Women’s Joy Circle.

I adore the simplistic style of this 8~inch holly and ivy decorative plate.

It is a perfect backdrop for the urn filled with the same seasonal greenery.

Nestled neatly in front,

the first of my tureen collection.

I was quite smitten with the bow detail in the lid and handles of this tureen.

 A close duplicate to our beginning, is the final vignette within the cabinet.

Similar objects of interest and scale complete the simplistic style.

Arranging this cabinet in Traditional Style during August

gave me the simplistic style I had in mind for Christmas On Crooked Creektt.

Until next time. . .
