Christmas Tablescape - French Style With A Touch Of Silver

The other week I was wandering around Le Monde, one of my favourite Auckland homeware stores. First I was awed by a gorgeous room setting with accents of a deep, lime green, then I spotted their beautiful Christmas tablescapes. Le Monde is one of those stores you can't resist walking into, displayed cleverly into room settings, but never cluttered, I'm always inspired by the ever changing colours and designs.  A few weeks ago I was inspired by their blue and white setting and dashed home to bring more blue and white into my sitting room. Today I feel inspired by another of their beautiful settings with accents of lime green and seriously thinking about introducing touches of this colour into my living area next Winter. 

While I was browsing, I spotted two gorgeous Christmas tablescapes which Le Monde kindly let me photograph. Today I'm sharing a silver tablescape, with a French feel, and tomorrow, one a little more rustic, I hope they  inspire your own table this Christmas.  If you live in Auckland and you haven't visited Le Monde, I encourage you to visit this beautiful shop. oh! and its right next to La Cigale French Market, so makes a great Saturday morning shopping and eating ☺

Hope you've been inspired, please come back tomorrow as I will be sharing Le Monde's gorgeous rustic table setting, sneak peek below.

Countdown to Christmas - Christmas Mantelpiece - Silver, Pewter, glitter!

This year Christmas for me will be silver with accents of purple.  I am trimming a few areas of my house and today I wanted to share my silver Christmas mantelpiece. You don't have to spend a lot of money or rush out to buy new decorations if you want to try this look,  my guess is that you probably have a house full of decorations tucked away that would work.

I began with a simple glass hurricane lamp which cost me a few dollars at the local hospice shop.  To this I have added silver Christmas tree baubles and a couple of silver wire decorations for a little bit of texture.

I then added these gorgeous pewter and silver silk Poinsetta's

 I placed a small tree from The Christmas Heirloom Company at one end of the mantlepiece and decorated it with simple garlands of beads in silver and mauve. I then hung little crystal balls which I strung on very narrow organza ribbons and topped the tree with a silver bow.

The silver rose bowl belonged to my grandmother, it has a multitude of uses...hint...don't throw away grandmas silver its very fashionable now.

This pretty mercury glass candlestick I bought for NZ$15 at French Country outlet store.  

I still have a swag to add so will update you with the total look later this week...
