Pine Trees on a Winter Tablescape

I did a Pine Trees Winter tablescape a few years ago. You can see that one here. So when I saw these pine tree salad plates at HomeGoods, I walked past. But Hubby was shopping with me and a bit later he brought them up to me and said he liked them because they reminded him of the area where we grew up so then I had to buy them. I knew I already had everything that I needed for this tablescape. The tablecloth was a bit of a struggle however. I started with a cream colored tablecloth and I finally realized that it just wasn’t working no matter how much I changed colors around so I switched to forest green. It is so much better. I found this Biscaynebay textured forest green tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago. I love the rich deep forest green color.

These pine tree salad plates are marked Eli + Ana Handmade Ceramics and they feel like a pottery plate. It is always interesting to see what turns up at HomeGoods. These plates were really cheap! You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying salad plates here.

I found these dinner plates at Pottery Barn online a few years ago. They are called Mason Stoneware and the color is Wheat. They are very simple in design but a great basic plate to add to a plate stack when you need a beige color. You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.

This photo is showing these chargers as a lighter color than they really are, they are a dark forest green. The first photo shows their correct color. This is a Mikasa charger in the pattern Color Spectrum and color Hunter Green. If you read my blog, you have seen this charger in other colors as well on other tablescapes. I bought them all a few at a time as I saw them on Ebay several years ago. I love these chargers, they are the perfect size and shape.

This cream colored flatware set was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale several years ago. I love this flatware pattern, I have it in a few other colors as well. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I can’t remember where I bought these simple beige cotton napkins, I have had them for several years I think. I can’t remember where I found these pine tree forest green napkin rings either. I think we painted them this forest green color for another tablescape but I ended up not using them. To read about the What, Where and How of napkin rings please click here.

These metal forest green pine tree place card holders were made by Style Me Pretty and I probably bought them at Michael’s a few years ago. I think they were black and Hubby painted them green for me. To read about the what, where and how of place card holders, please click here.

I decided to use two goblets that were the same color but a different style on this tablescape. I can’t remember where I found the sage green glass goblet on the left. The green acrylic goblet on the right came from our Pier 1 store before it closed several years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

I used this centerpiece on the other Pine Tree Winter tablescape that I did a few years ago. When I was looking for a centerpiece for that tablescape I knew that I wanted some kind of simple wood pine tree for a centerpiece so I went online and then looked around. I found this set of wood pine trees at Hobby Lobby online but the trees were different colors and patterns. I decided to go and take a look at the set and Hubby went with me. When I saw it I knew Hubby could paint it for me and he agreed. I am really happy with the way it turned out. It has been perfect as a centerpiece.

When I started this tablescape I wasn’t sure it was going to turn out the way I wanted it to but I am happy with it all now.
