Sideboard Decorated for Christmas

I finished decorating the formal dining room sideboard today.   Some people call it a buffet.....some a sideboard.   Since I am not going to serve food on it,  I am going to call it a sideboard.

I chose to decorate the sideboard with white, pink, green, and even some pops of red......yes,  I said red!   

I  don't normally use much red and green in my decorating.   I'm kind of a pastel girl.....

But this year I decided to see if I could "marry" some colors that aren't usually used together.

So far,  I'm pleased with the look,   But.....I guess we'll see how I feel when the whole room is done.   This is a large room with a dining table at one end and a sofa and chairs at the other end.

I don't think that I ever used strings of lights on the sideboard before.    I remember thinking....how will I ever cover those ugly cords?     Well,  I strung my lights and didn't worry about the cords showing.

I put them on the sideboard,  on the bottom of the large white frame that hangs on the deer heads,  and I also  put them on the white wreaths around the deer's necks.

I have a herd of vintage plastic deer prancing across the white picture frame

I also have some running thru the flowers

I have a Spode cheese platter,  a red Cherry and Cable cookie/cracker jar, and some floral plates on the buffet.

The newest additions to my Christmas dinnerware are some pieces of  Cuthberson.    These dishes are made in England  and blend very well with my Spode dishes.

I bought several pieces at the auction this past summer and will use them in my Christmas tablescape. ...which I will show you later...lol!  

This is a Cherry and Cable butter dish that belonged to my mother and in the background you can see the matching water pitcher.

Harley has been hanging over the buffet for a couple of years now......

Last year he was all alone.....

He looks much happier now that he has someone to talk to!
