I'm participating in the Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by Chloe at Celebrate & Decorate. You'll find lots more inspiration for setting your Christmas table with 27 other bloggers sharing their tablescapes. I'll list the links to their blogs at the end of my post.
In this Christmas tablescape, black and white buffalo check gets an upscale look when combined with an icy centerpiece.
Rather than combining rustic elements with the black and white buffalo check tablecloth, I decided to go white and frosty in order to achieve a more elegant vibe.
Icy-looking acrylic pieces were placed on a white faux fur table runner which are meant to represent a snow covered forest setting.
Battery-operated lights were woven through the scene, around this glass tree and...
...this white wax candle tree...
...and under this silver snowflake.
The acrylic Christmas trees light up and cycle through three different shades of frostiness.
Place settings included black and white dishes on a silver charger.
These tree-shaped salad plates work well with the theme.
Silver wax candle trees make great placecard holder accents.
The colour scheme is incorporated into the stemware as well.
All of the items used in this tablescape are from my stash and I've had most of them for years with the exception of the tablecloth which was purchased this past summer at Red Apple and the faux fur runner which is actually a mat (folded in half) from Walmart.
Behind the table, the sideboard is also decorated with a forest scene on a buffalo check runner. I'll show you more details of this area in a future post. (See here)
So do you think I've given buffalo check an upscale look or is it destined to be strictly rustic cabin all the way?

Lori, you scored a touchdown with the buffalo check tablecloth and the elegant white faux fur and crystal animals and characters and candle sticks. It's just a gorgeous scene. The dressy with the rustic works beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table. I always enjoy seeing black and white buffalo check. It is such a contrast mixed with the soft white faux fur and the sparkly ice trees and reindeer. So lovely with the added silver accents. It truly shines and could be an all-season winter tablescape. Would love seeing this all season long! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Lori! I love frosty and snowy elements paired with the black and white Buffalo check! As usual you, you follow your theme beautifully continuing over to your sideboard. I love all the lights and your faux fur runner. This would be beautiful to enjoy through the winter months too. Thanks so much for sharing your time and talent. It’s always a pleasure to have a seat at your table and blog hop with you,
ReplyDeleteLori, what a great way to achieve the upscale look of the cabin theme! I really like those acrylic pieces (no worries of breaking as easily as glass would be!), lights and the furry mat - all pull it together in a nice, full way. Your designs are always appealing to me, and this one doesn't disappoint!
ReplyDeletelove, love love the fur!! And the vignette on the sideboard is fabulous! You did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I love the way the lights reflect of all of the glass and crystal. The buffalo check and the fur come together in a snowy cabin way. I never would have thought of putting this together but it all works making for a gorgeous winter wonderland! Fabulous table!
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteI love this tablescape. Very classy. I especially love the white faux fur used as a runner. I may have to steal this idea. All the glass looks beautiful with the lights.
Oh my goodness . . . I love it!!! The warmth of the buffalo plaid paired with the cold and iciness of your glass table toppings is amazing. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteConnie :)
The glass trees are so beautiful with the buffalo check. I love those napkin rings also. Everything looks elegant and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAmazing tbale decoration:-)) Everything is so bright and glittering:-)) Love it:-)))
ReplyDeleteLori, what a gorgeous table! The black and white buffalo check works great in its upscale look. The icy acrylic pieces pair beautifully with the faux fur runner. What you have created is rustic glam...perfectly! Your sideboard forest scene is just stunning! Wishing you the joy and peace of Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt was worth the wait Lori, just gorgeous! I love black and white everything, it is so versatile and it plays dress up so well! Your setting is frosted elegance! So unique, very lovely!

I love the buffalo plaid table cloth and used the same thing for my table. It is such a beautiful foundation for every table scape. I love the crystal trees and reindeer! Such a stunning table!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, it looks like ice sculptures, a beautiful table with the black and silver theme.
ReplyDeleteLori, you have outdone yourself! Delightful and beautiful and creative.
ReplyDeleteI adore the crystal deer, trees on the faux fur with delicate lights. The white and black together with so many textures is dramatic and elegant. Delightful snowflake napkin rings and sweet glass tree plates make your table sing. I love your table.
Lori, as I've said before, I always love your tablescapes! This one is just stunning with the elegant black and white theme. The centerpiece of trees and lights create such a magical finishing touch! Merry Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful Christmas! I absolutely love your iced-themed centerpiece, and white faux fur is a perfect detail for this snowy landscape! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love this look so much! It really is buffalo check with elegance. Seriously beautiful. I love the crystal trees. They are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou have taken check to a new height! I love your "icy" centerpiece. Honestly everything looks so elegant with the addition of all of the clear, shiny glass. The furry tablerunner is a great snow feature too. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteVery nice...I am inspired by your lovely creation
ReplyDeleteLori, without a doubt you achieved your goal. And the beauty of that tablescape is that it is not solely 'Christmas' but more 'winter' and could easily transition through a New Year's Eve celebration.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Lynn
Your table is stunning! Without a doubt, it's sophisticated and elegant, rolled into one. Everything looks like carved ice and you have achieved the look you were after! It certainly isn't rustic at all. It's so nice to meet you on this blog hop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely glass centerpiece, I don't think I've ever seen such a big collection. It's lovely! Happy holidays, I've enjoyed touring with you :)
ReplyDeleteYou said the fur was a Walmart mat? Can you be more specific? I'd love to incorporate that idea on my Christmas table. Thanks!! It was all very pretty.
