and infuse your home with a lovely holiday aroma,

so here’s a little 

Monday morning inspiration...

While I’m here today, I wanted to share some of my "Tablescaping Essentials" with you. I have a whole page on the Amazon website with my favorite picks for setting a beautiful table.

Quite often time is of the essence, and I have last minute projects or events to work on, so I turn to Amazon for one or two day delivery. You’d be surprised at how many amazing items they have to offer! And I'm constantly updating this page with my new favorites.

a tablescape for new years eve

New Year’s Eve is around the corner! Today I’ve put together my dream New Years’ Eve tablescape by using some of my favorite vintage heirlooms and some new sparkly accents.

I’ve updated my 2012 NYE “clock-themed” tablescape that some of you may remember. 

All you have to do to recreate this look is have a set of clear glass dinner plates which are really inexpensive and also so versatile! 

Then print off a set of clock faces so they fit the size of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. 

No fancy paper needed! The clock faces will be round, so just cut them out carefully with scissors. Nestle them between your glass plate and a silver or gold charger plate.

I used "Happy New Year" tiaras, with the headband removed, to accent each place setting with a fun salutation! 

Under each place setting is a round circle of glittered gold mesh fabric that I cut out, as well. The light hits all these sparkly accents and makes the table come to life!

Winter evergreens layered diagonally down the center of this round table add the perfect foundation for the white roses and gittery gold votives that add a hint of glamour. 

A garland of dreamy silver stars sways quietly in the background. 

These antique silver goblets hold little arrangements of roses, but they also come in handy for a favorite beverage.

 Champagne (or sparkling grape juice) is mandatory!

Here's the view from the top…

 I can’t believe 2017 is almost here!

I love how this layer of glitter fabric detail adds dimension.

A toast…

 to all of you!

 Thanks for stopping by and visiting this year!

 Cheers and Best Wishes... 

for the new year!  xoxo

christmas at the front door

I'm happy to be finishing up last minute holiday decor

today with the help of these two little guys,

Sammie and Dugan.

I found these two wreaths at Home Goods a few weeks 

ago and new they’d work perfectly 

on my black doors. 

The gold, silver and copper balls are a great contrast with

the doors, and I like that they’re visible from the street.

The fresh garland, from Orange County Wholesale Florist,

is a combination of fragrant evergreens and is the

perfect finishing touch for the front entry.

Keeping it simple is my M.O. this year,

so I just accented with these silver metal lanterns.

I think I’m done out here, 

so now I’m off to finish trimming the Christmas tree…

ciao! fabiana

festive christmas doors

Just a little Christmas inspiration for your front door….

Did you know that Christmas wreaths are

made with evergreens to represent

the everlasting life brought through Jesus 

and the circular shape of the wreath represents God,

with no beginning and no end?

Happy Holidays!

ciao! fabiana
