I really kept it simple this year in our dining area. Last year I was cleaning up snowflake glitter, and scraping hot glue off the windows for months so it seemed. This year, I found a pretty large wreath at Target, added some more embellishments to it. I hung a few holiday plates around, blinged up the chande just a tad, and that be it for the dinette.

The window is the perfect place for your wreath, Debbie! Your dining area looks wonderfully festive!
I know what you mean, Picnik is so much fun, I could play with it for hours!! What am I saying, I do play with it for hours…LOL!

Hey, HEY, hey (said like Ree Run). Girl, you're rockin' the Christmas kitchen! I love all of your embellishments … the beautiful wreath on your window … the reindeer and snowflakes hanging from your chandie, and even your rooster lamp getting dressed for the season! So fun. And, BTW, you are the Picnik *Queen* … that website is addictive! Happy Holidays, Becca
And, PS: thanks for stopping by and leaving such a sweet note about my Christmas dining room. Becca xo
Wonderful, I am trying to scale it down too! Wait we bought two tree last night instead of one. Crap!
The wreath and tureen are just fabulous. I know about Picnik Playtime. Joe bought that for me and my domain name for Christmas..wasn't that a sweet gift for a blogger? You can bake just try it! ♥O
Great picture! I have the same Fa La La towel! It always makes me smile when unpacking the Christmas decorations! Your picture are great, especially love the close up of the wreath!

Debbie, I love that one large wreath on the windows. It really makes a statement. Cute decor all around and I see you are playing with your photos. Thanks so much for joining the party!
Love it all ~ I've been meaning to hang greenery from my two (yes, two) chandeliers over the kitchen table, but I've been a bit intimidated. Yours looks great, how did you do it? Thanks for sharing!
What gorgeous photos! I love the way the sun is streaming in! Lovely! ♥
Very Pretty! really like the wreath on the windows.
Enjoy your evening.
Hi Deb, Looks like you had a great time decorating and also with your photography. Everything looks so awesome, you really know how to dress up a room! Thanks for always stopping by and leaving me sweet comments, your friendship means alot to me and I'm so happy your blogging a bit too! We're bad, you know we can't totally stay away from blogland, lol!

That big beautiful window looks wonderful with that wreath!!
Such a gorgeous room. Your Christmas additions are just perfect.
Jane
Oooh Ms Debbiedoo, it is all so pretty. That wreath does look great in the window. You have certainly been busy. Oh, and you know I think your roosters rock!
I love it Debbie! I also went a little bit more simple in my dining space and I love that you added just the right festive touches without overpowering the space. You did awesome girl!
Vanessa
Just lovely! & your wreath is stunning in that spot. I love how your new valance just blends, & adds to the Christmas feel.
AND I LOVE seeing the sun coming in…. we won't see the sun here in Michigan again until, maybe April… : )
I like it all! Very nice, Debbie!!
I bought some things.. 'super cheap' clearance last year.. for my dinning room. Now I have to find them in the basement before the boys get here. 2 weeks from today!! Thanks for the reminding me what I had bought. 🙂
Such a happy room–I could sit there and bath in the light with a cup of java!
Love the window wreath Debbie! It all looks fantastic!
Perfect spot for the wreath! Gorgeous.
I think your dining room is just lovely. I love all of your little touches, and the wreath on the window looks great. Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment.
Merry Christmas
Everything looks so pretty. Love the wreath. Thanks for sharing your home.
You and I are going to be signed up for Picnik Rehab before we have a word edgewise. Isn't it just too much fun. Love your new header with the hats. Crazy lady.
I can't believe you find such goodies at Target. Wow. Need to make a trip… oh, but it's only 7 outside for the high today… maybe tomorrow.
Off to bed we must go,
Kate

Buona giornata.
Myriam
Beautiful job, Debbie!! I love the wreath on the window, it really frames the space. Great job! XO ~Liz
Debbie- It looks beautiful..the wreath is perfect…and the room is not overdone-perfect for a family! I love the artistic "rendering" you did with the picture. Hugs- Diana
Very pretty! I love the holly around the light and it goes so well with the wreath too! I also really like your new cabinet, it goes well with the other one you have in that room. What is Garden Ridge? I have really got to check out this Picnik!
Your dining area looks wonderful! Even though you kept it simple, I can still see all the little touches here & there that make it look festive.
Debbie,
It's all so beautiful! So festive and bright. I wanna come over!!!
Great score at Garden Ridge. I was just pouting about not being able to get there YET this season. Your photographs are great! I love how creative you get with them 😀
What a cozy and pretty room you've created! I'm sure your family loves you for it. I would like to sit down at that table, have a cup of coffee and stare out at the scenery.
Brenda
I have to tell you that I love your header. It's so festive and fantastic.
Your dinning area looks fabulous, and I have cut down on decoration this year too.
Beautiful!!! Love it! I love that wreath there in the window! Now get those treats made for Bunco!!
Deb- I know what you mean about cleaning up glitter! I am doing it as we speak. Wait, I'm typing and taking a break from all the mess…. LOL Love the big wreath in the window and your new chest in the corner. All is so festively Christmas! I decided to cut back significantly this year after I was making such little headway after almost two weeks. Maybe next year I'll start at the beginning of November. Hee hee…
Fa la la la la…….. ♥ Sue
I love the reindeer hanging from the chandelier! Looks like they are galloping in the air! The pictures are great!
Megan
Good morning my Sweet yound friend…Girl you once again out did yourself…I really liked the way you did the plates with the frame now that one I know I will steal or I mean borrow from you ha ha!!
And girl I had to laugh about the glitter…last year I made a tree topper for my grand daughter Candace and Len asked me if that was ours new floor dust…I kid you not it looked like a Disco from the 70's for about 6 months and I'm still finding glitter ha ha!! Never again…
I hope all is well in your world my Dear friend…Thanks for coming by…I only post once a week now…I think I lost my MoJO girl…Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

Hello Debbie,
I just finished catching up on your most recent posts. Your home looks great all decked out for Christmas! Every time you post a picture of your dining room my heart does a little flip when I see that rooster picture! I know I have told you before, but I will tell you again… I love it! While in Maine I tried to convince my Aunt to let me have her rooster lamp, but she would not part with it darn it! I love the large wreath in your window and how you decorated your chandelier. I had to chuckle at your no bake cookie adventure!
~ Tracy
Love your dining room for the holidays…..simple and so elegant. Love your lamp and that cabinet from Garden Ridge has found the perfect spot!
Gorgeous, Debbie Dear! I love it all. Your windows in here are marvelous and all the light they bring in. You do everything the right way.
be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
i love the wreath its perfect so simple but oh so chic the gardenridge score is also so lovely evertthing looks great:)
Really pretty Debbie … you always decorate so beautifully!
Hi Debbie,
LOVE your header, it's so cute with all the hats.
I just love the look and feel of your house, it absolutely looks festive, I'm so behind on decorating for the Holidays but you sure have inspired me.
You're correct. I don't have my "home decor" blog anymore. I just had too much on my plate and decided to whittle some things down. So, that blog was one of the things to go. The next time I post anything that has to do with decorating will be when I am working on Little One's room. That will be so much FUN!! I can't wait!
Youe wreath is beautiful! I love your dining area…always have! It's so warm, cozy and inviting. You're a gifted decorated and I love visiting your blog. I'm so glad you didn't stop blogging. That's very selfish of me, I know. But, there are about 5 of you gals that inspire me to do so much more with my home!
Deb! I have been looking at those photographs for 10 minutes now. Your home is like a beautiful resort to me. It looks like the kind of place I'd want to go to when I take a vacation and want to be treated like a princess!
I am actually ETERNALLY jealous of how you make it look so simple to decorate/redesign and still keep things spic and span. I don't understand it at all. If I could, I would throw out all the furniture from my house just to keep it dust-free! 😀 😀
Today, I'm going to give you a "beautiful home" award with this comment, just like that. You're genuinely AWESOME! BIG FAT HUG. Your blog makes me happppppppppppy. Muah!
This is my first visit, I saw you on Tablescapes by Diane's blog roll. Your dining room is just lovely, I love the elegance of your tasteful decorations! It looks like a beautiful place to dine! If you'd like to visit me in New England, I love company and new Followers are always welcome.

So very beautiful Debbie!
It looks very pretty. I know what you mean about the messy stuff. I was going to buy the spray snow for my windows and then I knew I would regret it in January. I like your Picnik'd photos, although the pencil drawing one is sort of different.
Just the right amount of decorations, Debbie! I love all these little touches and your wreath is gorgeous!
