THE DINING TABLEīecause the decorations on the sideboard are so elaborate, I decided to tone things down for the centerpiece on the dining table. The entire vignette is tied together with the rest of the decor with gorgeous French blue velvet ribbon and velvet poinsettias. The wreath is hanging from a ribbon loop on one of the hooks too. We drilled tiny holes into the frame, but don’t worry – you’ll won’t be able to see them once the hooks are removed. I simply wrapped branches of the garland around the hooks to hold it in place. The flocked garland is attached to my mirror using cup hooks. It looked just fine until I saw it in a closeup. I love the sparkly look of it filled with shiny silver bells, but in this photo it looks like I should have given it a bit of a polish. I have the rest of the tea service, but decided not to display the whole thing. The silver Paul Revere Bowl and sugar bowl and creamer belonged to my mom. It was to help him purchase his officer uniforms, which were around $1000 at the time. My husband’s parents gave him the champagne bucket filled with silver dollars many years ago when he became a commissioned officer in the Marine Corps. That was so exciting to me because these items are tucked away in a cabinet and rarely see the light of day. The moment I decided on this color scheme, I knew immediately that I would be able to use some of my vintage silver pieces to create a vignette on my sideboard, including this champagne bucket, which is a favorite.
