Christmas Decor and Tablescape

Welcome to the new and improved Holidays at the Hash House!  Come on in and take a look around at what I've been up to!

So here's a little peeksy of the bench in our dining room.  The overall theme of my Christmas decorations has always been gold, silver and red.  This year I decided to add some creams but not throw all my old stuff out, so I kept the original colors as well.

Garland- Pottery Barn
Christmas Tree Cones- Am I the only one in love with those little Christmas tree cones at Target, Hobby Lobby and...well...everywhere?  Two problemos, one is that for the materials they use, they're pretty expensive.  Two, I wanted to choose my own materials and colors so I went ahead and spent a Saturday night putting them together.  I'm that cool.

Tree- Medium foam cone (they were out of the cardboard ones) and distressed chevron scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby

Picture- The frame is from Hobby Lobby.  The picture can be found here.  All I did was copy the jpg. and take it in to Kinkos to have them copy it onto cardstock.  Easy peasy and cheapy.

Picture- Frame is from Hobby Lobby.  The printable can be found here.  The cake stand is from At Home America.  You can actually flip it over and it's a chips and dip plate.  Clever.  The trees are made from small and large foam cones with Christmas Carol sheet music scrapbook paper, fuzzy yarn and burlap ribbon.  All materials were from Hobby Lobby.  Get your glue gun ready!

 

This is our entry way table.  I only added a few extra pieces here.  I bought the gold trees, silver pine cones, snowman, reindeer, wreath and cake stand at Hobby Lobby.  Can you guess how much I love Hobby Lobby?  The Christmas tree printable is also from Pinterest and you can find the link here.

For these little beauties, just hot glue some feathers and lace ribbon around a small and large foam cone from, you guessed it, Hobby Lobby.

 Printable- here (again)

 These jars were from Restoration Emporium.  Those are the same pine cones you see in our entry.  The gold and silver berries are from the wreath isle of Hobby Lobby.

This is our entry.  I only added a few pieces from the great Hobby Lobby.  Can you tell I made few trips?  The snowman, reindeer, gold trees, holly and pine cone wreath and silver pine cones are all from Hobby Lobby.  I got the print here.

 

 It  just so happens I was hosting a dinner party this night, so here's a look at my holiday tablescape.  The mason jars were my grandma's.  I gave in and bought electric candles because I didn't want to scrape the wax out of the bottom.  The flowers are from Hen House.  I bought super cheap bundles of berries and flowers and put them in bunches in mason jars.  The little wreaths were from Hobby Lobby.  I bought the napkins and tablecloth last year at Target and made the burlap runner from material I bought at Hobby Lobby.

 

Happy Holidays! 

Yep, Another S Family

Is it just me or do all my friend's last names start with S?  Here is another lovely family that let me hang out with them and capture silly and sweet moments.  First off, have you ever seen such a pretty little fam?  Me neither.  Second, if you are lucky enough to know this family, you will instantly fall in love.  Again, Momma S is a very good friend of mine.  We used to work together and let me just say, she's good, real good.  She has a an amazing way of doing her job, getting the kids to love her and work for her, but also keeping work fun and silly.  She's an amazing friend and would do absolutely anything for anyone.  That isn't just one of those things people say to be nice, nope she's a keeper, a real good-hearted person who does her best to make everyone around her feel appreciated and taken care of.
As for the rest of the adorebs fam, I now work with Papa S and let me just tell you he is a hoot!  If you looked up dry sense of humor in the dictionary you would see his face and I love it. Do they even dictionaries anymore?  Okay, google it and see what pops up.  Once you get past that dryness there is a really great dude in there.  He's a fantastic teacher and friend.
These two super people also made two super kids.  B and T are two of Everett's best buddies.  At one point he was calling them his "bwothers".  The apple didn't fall too far from the tree with these guys.  They aren't just completely adorable, they are super sweet and super GREAT kids.  So what if they had to be bribed with Costco hotdog and pizza in order to sit still for pictures?
