How to Design a Whimsical Holiday Table!

Published on December 11, 2015

Hello friends! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope your party planning is going well. If not, I hope your vacation planning is underway and you’re heading somewhere festive and fun.

Speaking of festive, one of the biggest things on my to-do list is shopping for dinnerware. I’m a terribly clumsy person when it comes to dishes and so everything we own has lots of “character”, i.e. chipped edges.

Whilst shopping around I came across the Finnish design firm Iittala. They started off as a glass factory, and have since grown and expanded to include lots of ridiculously beautiful items for everyday use around the home, from table top to kitchen to furniture. What really caught my eye and inspired this post was the illustrated Tanssi dinnerware series by designer Klaus Haapaniemi. The dancing foxes, the fiddling deer, the pipe smoking rooster- they’re just so utterly delightful, I couldn’t help but build a modern, whimsical holiday table around them! Et voila!

SHOP THIS POST

1. Tanssi series Dinner Plate (and more) by Iittala on One Kings Lane | 2. This smells ridiculously good and Voluspa’s packaging is always gorgeous! Voluspa Maison Noir Crisp Champagne Scented Candle, Nordstrom | 3. Matte black flatwear? Yes, please! Almoco Flatware, Design Within Reach | 4. Details are very important and the herringbone pattern in this napkin is perfect. Napkins shown are sold out, these are similar from Sur la Table | 5. I love these because they remind me of a mermaid’s scales. Also, copper. Champagne flutes are sold out but the stemless wine glasses are still available at Nordstrom! | 6. Holly berries! Grab a bunch at your local florist and that’s all you’ll need to finish off your whimsical holiday table!

How will you be setting up your table this holiday?

👶🏻❤️☺️ // I’ve written and re-writ 👶🏻❤️☺️ // I’ve written and re-written this caption so many times trying to express just how fortunate, blessed... and completely floored we’ve been the last few months. Never in a million years did I think we would be going down this route again but here we are, and here’s the reason for my extended hiatus from the ‘gram. Suffice it to say, June 2021 promises to be the most excitement we’ve had in a while and I cannot wait! 🙌🏼 Any guesses if Little Bee is a boy or girl? 🤔 #inshallah #alhamdulillah #25weeks
REMEMBER WHEN... // That time I designed a whole b REMEMBER WHEN... // That time I designed a whole bunch of free Printables to decorate your home with and put them up on the blog so you could download them? Yup. They’re still there! 😀 Happy Friday! #sofreshmyhome #freeprints
HOW IT STARTED // Light, bright, white, minimalist HOW IT STARTED // Light, bright, white, minimalist. I kind of miss those days but then again kind of not? I’ve embraced darker desaturated colours like our Navy blue accent wall downstairs and our green home office/guest room upstairs. ❤️ What’s your preference? Do you naturally veer towards colour? 🤔 #sofreshmyhome #navyblueandprettytoo
A IS FOR...? // Tell me what’s on your mind. I’ll go first: A is for Amazing. Because after almost a whole year of remote schooling, it looks like the kids might finally be going back after Spring break! Woo hoo! 💃🏻 #LAlife
WELL, FINALLY. // It’s February! Legit can’t b WELL, FINALLY. // It’s February! Legit can’t believe we made it through the longest January ever. 🙄 I SO wish I was sitting at this table with all of my favourite people right about now. Instead we’re in, well, I think we all know where we all are and have been since March 2020. Oy vey. 🤦🏻‍♀️ BUT it’s my birthday month and I think I’m finally ready to share everything that’s happened since last September including why I dropped out of the One Room Challenge. Stay tuned for that post. It seems like a season of change for so many of us. May Allah keep us all in His protection. 🙏🏼
VIGNETTE LOVE // Colour, texture, planty goodness VIGNETTE LOVE // Colour, texture, planty goodness plus beautiful art by my fave @atticapress. ❤️ Super into this vignette that I shot many moons ago and just came across again in my camera roll. It’s a good day when you discover photo treasures like these, don’t you think? 😍 #sofreshmyhome
DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and if I focus on Pippa, I can ignore the fact that the kids’ room hasn’t looked this tidy in weeks. Is it just me or is cleaning basically a waste of time during the holidays/pandemic?? 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️ It literally never stays clean! They’re home ALL the time. My mom is very proud of me right now, I’m sure. 😆 #sofreshmyhome
SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase to remember 2020 by it would be “Sharp contrasts”. We had our fair share of hard to believe moments and lots of jagged peaks and dips. BUT 2021 promises to be an entirely new chapter and I can’t wait to share everything with you soon! Happy New Year, friends! In the Year That Felt Like 10 Years, can you believe we finally made it to the end?? 😱🥳👏🏼#sofreshmyhome #greenrooms
WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall preten WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall pretend Andrew lounges on this work chair with a leopard print throw artfully draped across his legs. 🤣 But seriously tho, having this cabinet to style has been so much fun whenever our bedroom needs a little pick-me-up! #sofreshmyhome
