Today I'm sharing with you my Christmas table scape, I really enjoy putting together simple and elegant tables for special occasions. For this table scape I shopped my house and used mostly things I already had.

I did get these new tartan plates from Shutterfly this year for my table, which I super love and am loving all things tartan this year! I wanted my table to be simple, with a little sparkle. So adding lots of tea lights gives off that look really affordably. Let's take a look at my table this year.

I made the pine cone center pieces using a tutorial here. And I added these tartan snowflakes to the bottoms to tie in with the plates. Then just added as I mentioned lots of tea light in various votive holders.

I'd been wanting gold flatware for a while, so when I saw 4 sets on clearance at Target for $5 I scooped them all up for my holiday table. The wooden chargers are from World Market I got them last year, the white dot plates are from there as well. And the tartan plates are from Shutterfly.

I'm loving the glow of this table and the pops of gold & red. I hope this inspires you that table decor doesn't have to be over the top or expensive, sometimes simple is better. How are you decorating your table this year?
