Christmas Home Tour 2017 – Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas
Welcome! Today I’m sharing all the decorations from our first Christmas at our Highland, Utah home. In our Christmas Home Tour 2017 – A Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas, we share all the details below. We have a lot of blue in our decor so I used varying shades of blue, ivory, and green in my decor. All the sources I am able to link will be at the bottom of the post.
EntryWay

I filled a metal container with faux greens and flowers and added two wreaths to the front door.

We added a painted pine cone pick and blueberry picks to the wreaths, then added light blue ribbon tied in a bow. I hung the wreaths with silver command strip hooks. Once you attach the hooks, let them sit for about twenty minutes before you hang the wreath.

The Living Room Tree

We layered green cedar picks, faux blueberry picks, an white frosted hydrangeas and wired them together to go on the

Green, Gold, and White Thanksgiving Tablescape
One of my favorite things to do is create a beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape where we can gather as a family for Thanksgiving dinner. I thoughly enjoyed creating this Green, Gold, and White Thanksgiving Tablescape. I think this one is one of my favorites!

The Place-setting — Mixing Green, Gold, and White
I like to layer different plates, chargers, and placemats to create a more dramatic look. The top plate has a green pumpkin painted on it and it matches the green plates I had recently purchased.

For the placemat I used this hyacinth placemat to add some different texture to the place-setting. The charger is one of my favorites as it goes with so many different place-settings.

The green plates are one of my most versatile sets of dishes. I’ve mixed them with white and silver, green and gold, green and white and I may even use them with red for a Christmas tablescape!

I also used my gold and white

Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape

Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape
One of my favorite times of year to decorate and create tablescapes is Fall. There are so many beautiful colors to play with and pumpkins seem to come in all sorts of colors, sizes, and velvet! Who doesn’t love a velvet pumpkin?!! This Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape if full of dark green velvety pumpkins, beautiful faux flowers and some of my treasured dishes.

I love adding other elements in the dining room to compliment the tablescape. You can never have enough velvet pumpkins so I added more brown colored velvet pumpkins below this beautiful wood sign from Teal Barn Signs (link for this sign is at the end of the post in the slider with photos of items). To add some color to the space below the sign, I put some of the leftover flowers from the garland centerpiece in a galvanized tin bucket and set it on an old antique crate.

The Place-Setting
For the place-setting I used my

Blue and Orange Pumpkin Themed Tablescape
Every year I like to create a pumpkin tablescape and this years came out completely different than I had planned it in my head. Blue was not in my original plan but as I was mixing and matching different dishes to see how they looked together I threw a blue plate in the mix just to see how it looked. The result was this blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape!

As soon as I saw the blue against the orange, I knew I was changing my original plan. I have a lot of blue decor in my Highland, Utah home and my fall decor colors had a lot of orange colors mixed in so this worked out perfectly and matched my fall decor.
Two Different Versions

When I was setting the table, I had it set without the blue bowls. I liked it but then I added the blue bowls onto the table and I instantly liked it more. Here you can see each version. Which is your favorite?

Here you can see more of the orange and less blue. Either way I love the bright
