My Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape
One of my most favorite things about Christmas is spending time with family. The memories made around a family table are some to cherish forever, My farmhouse Christmas tablescape is one I can’t wait to spend sitting around with family and friends.
This year, I am really trying to keep it simple. I started my farmhouse Christmas tablescape by making some simple napkins out of flour sack towels. I used a transfer method I found originally on So Much Better With Age. Check her site out if you want to see how they are done!
They really were the inspiration for my whole tablescape this year. I kept the place settings simple.
I layered my plates on top of my DIY rope chargers. I then tied my napkins with a piece of twine. I tied two pieces of rosemary together and added them to the top. Perfect. Simple. Christmas.
I always like to set the table before I set up the centerpiece. That way I know I have enough room for everything.
I started the centerpiece of the table with this amazing farmhouse scale. I love this scale so much I bought two!!
I really wanted to do something outside the box. I think using a scale does a little bit of that.
I have this collection of Rae Dunn pottery that I try to use whenever possible. I love how adorable they are on the scale.
This “naughty” piece is one of my favorites! A few pine cones finish it off.
Once I had the scale in place, I added pine boughs from my front yard. Yes, its just that convenient for me. I have nature at my fingertips.
I mean, how lovely are these boughs? They even had pine cones still in tact!
I wanted to evoke the feeling of gathering around the table, spending hours sipping tea or cocoa, telling stories and jokes.
I set up a little tea station with my Rae Dunn Tea pot, along with some Moscow mule mugs for a fun drink.
I love the way the copper pops against the wood and white accents on the table.
Setting a table doesn’t have to be difficult. It also doesn’t have to be elaborate, or expensive. I pride myself on creating these types of spaces for next to nothing.
Christmas is all about the memories you make and the time spent with family.
I think that creating a space that is inviting and cozy is icing on the cake.

I love Farmhouse Christmas style and your table with the scale and flour sack towel napkins! There’s nothing better than the smell of pine at the holidays and the addition of boughs, pine cones and rosemary wafting through the air. Love the chalkboard too 🙂
Oh Mary you are so right. The smell of pine is hypnotizing. Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet words!
Your farmhouse Christmas Tablescape is so beautiful…the scale is definitely the piece de resistance. The flour sack napkins with the sprigs of rosemary are so fresh. Love the simplicity of your setting but there is plenty of detail and creativity. I could linger at this table for hours!
Oh thank you so much Pam!
Sara, this is really a treat – a tablescape that’s restful on my eyes. Although my home doesn’t lend itself to farmhouse style, I’m all in for the beauty and simplicity of a natural style, and I try to work it into my most casual space (sunroom). You have every right to pride yourself in the style you’ve created. Your flour sack napkins and rope chargers are gorgeous. I love your scale and that naughty piece. You could craft one for the other side that says ‘nice’ with that sharpie pen bake craft. How cool would that juxtaposition be?! Your family could have fun with it, jotting notes of actions over the course of advent, inserting the notes into each, and tipping the jars, hehe. Ahh! I just noticed your brown paper roll pulled down with the tree drawn on it – too cute! Have a happy holiday season!
Oh Rita thank you so much! That naughty and nice is a great idea! My kids would have a ball leaving notes in each one! We will have to start it!
Your table is beautiful, I love that you can walk outside and just get the greenery you need. That scale is a treasure, I would have bought two also. Love it!
Oh thanks Christine! I feel pretty spoiled that I have access to greenery right outside my door.
Sara, I love the simplicity of your tablescape. The white dishes with the natural greenery is a beautiful setting for family dining. The scale is amazing as are those awesome dishes. Love being on the Holiday Tablescape Blog Hop with you.
Hi Carol! Thanks so much! I have loved doing this hop together!
Just lovely Sara, so simple it’s elegant! I can smell the rosemary from here- love the chalkboard!
Thank you Jenna! The rosemary is so lovely. I catch scents of it sometimes when I am traveling through the dining room.
Your Farmhouse style is lovely. Sometimes simple is elegant and you have achieved such a pretty look for the holidays. Our home doesn’t fit the Farmhouse style, yet I appreciate the look very much. Love the creative scale centerpiece and your touch of greenery.
Thank you so much!
