A Peek at Our Cozy Red and White Dining Room for Christmas

A Peek at Our Cozy Red + White Christmas Dining Room

As you already know, my dining room is one of my absolute favorite spaces to decorate and change up for the holidays and changing seasons. There’s just something about the level of conversation that happens around the table – and for that reason, it’s one of my favorite spots in our home. I’d even go as far as saying that my dining room is the heart of my home for so many reasons. Your dining room is an opportunity for you to create a welcoming space in the heart of your home for your family and guests. With now being the season of all things hosting, why not start by making your dining room a little extra festive this year?

Today on the blog, I wanted to share a peek of our cozy red and white dining room all decked out just in time for Christmas this year. Whether you’re hosting a formal Christmas dinner or having hot cocoa with your husband and the kids, I hope to inspire you to create a space that gives off the magic of Christmas in your own home this year.

Cozy Red + White Dining Room for Christmas

If you remember back to the beginning of November, I blogged about my Cozy Christmas Design Inspiration for this year. (You can read that post, HERE.) I feel like my decorating theme has evolved a lot over the past few years – and this year took a completely different turn. (and I LOVE it!) With that being said, this year I really wanted to get down to the root of what I loved about being home for Christmas. I love the comfortable, cozy, and warm-ness about being cuddled up at home in your with family. But mostly, I just love all the precious moments and memories that come with the Christmas season.

This year I wanted to embrace more of a rustic and nostalgic red and white Christmas look. So, I decided to channel a more traditional color palette filled with creamy whites, deep reds (like antique Coca-Cola red!), and dark evergreen greens. I was all about channeling all of the cozy and comfortable vibes to make my home as warm and inviting as possible this holiday season. And I feel like the look really came to life in my dining room!

I’m really loving how everything came together this year. Between the red and white and mixed and matched patterns, I can’t get enough of it all. However, my favorite things about my dining room this year are definitely my Christmas tree and my centerpiece. My tree is the infamous $35 6′ flocked tree from Walmart that sells out every year. (It really is the perfect inexpensive tree!) I now can’t imagine decorating my dining room for Christmas without it. It is the perfect touch of Christmas with the perfect pop of Christmas red, and it makes our dining room so cozy.

Meanwhile, with the centerpiece, I really wanted to channel a traditional and classic Christmas look that was very nostalgic in feel. I started with a long wooden dough bowl on top of my table runner and added in snow fluff to give it some texture. I then placed these mini trees from Target along the length of the bowl. In between to break it up, I added these super easy and inexpensive DIY snow globes to create a very cozy and nostalgic feel. They’re unique, cute, and a great conversation starter for anyone sitting at the table! For a finishing touch, I added these DIY hand lettered ornaments to bring the eyes up and encourage conversation among guests seated at the table.

Momma went shopping… and I spent a lot more than Momma went shopping… and I spent a lot more than $873. (But don’t tell Rob that part. 💁🏼‍♀️)

The furniture for the study finally came in, and I was SO excited to see how perfect everything looks in here. Hands down my favorite room in the house. 😍👏🏼 Real talk: I can’t wait to curl up in here with a cup of coffee and a book while my kids destroy the house around me. 🫠🤷🏼‍♀️😂 #ahostinghome

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

But really, I’ve been using the same battery charge for a couple weeks now on vacuuming the downstairs of our house — and with two kids and two dogs, I do a quick vacuum every single day (sometimes multiple times a day!) The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
