Simple Christmas Tablescape

I began collecting Christmas dishes before I got married.  At first, I had a serving piece or two and then I decided to start collecting the place settings when I got married.

It is Spode Christmas tree and I still love it.

We usually use it when we host guests during the holidays, but this year we are not having any holiday dinners or out-of-town guests at our house.  So, I decided to switch out my every day dishes with the Spode so we can enjoy using it throughout the Christmas season.  Why wait for guests?

I am really enjoying using my pretty dishes every day and so is my family!

Kitchen Chair Makeover {IKEA Gingham Fabric}

This week my kids went back to school and our relaxed daily schedule went out the window. Now we are all trying to get back to a regular routine and — I’ll be honest — it is hard!

Nonetheless, school is here and even though I miss our lazy summer days, I am a little excited to get back to work on some of the projects I started and/or planned before school ended in early June.

One quick project I managed to complete is my kitchen chair makeover. Well, it’s kind of a makeover.
