This post is sponsored by our friends at HomeGoods // Hi, sweet friends! Welcome back to our Farmhouse Holiday Series! Last week I shared the first look at our little farmhouse all decorated for Christmas in our master bedroom, and today I’m continuing on into our dining room with a fun, festive table setting I put together this week. My goal this year is to share easy ideas with you for simplifying the hustle and bustle of the holidays and creating a cozy, inviting home that is the perfect backdrop to create beautiful holiday memories with your loved ones. I truly hope that you enjoy this decorating series as much as I do and get some great ideas for your home!
So this look in our dining room is a little more over the top than I normally do. You guys know me… I’m a less-is-more kind of girl when it comes to decorating the farmhouse, but I couldn’t resist playing with a more whimsical look for the holidays this year, especially once I found some really sweet nutcrackers and these beautiful, little trees while I was out shopping at HomeGoods this past week. If there’s one time of year that you can get away with a big, oversized table setting like this, it’s during the holidays!
And lucky for you guys, I happen to have a $100 HomeGoods gift card that I’m giving away just in time to start your holiday shopping!

One of the reasons we built this big farmhouse table last year was to be able to accommodate all our friends and family at the holidays. It easily seats eight to ten people, and the wood grain is so beautiful that I usually don’t even bother using a fancy tablecloth. Lord knows my boys would have something spilled on it within 5 seconds of sitting down anyway!
I found these darling frosted evergreens at HomeGoods and set them in the center of the table. I love that they came in these cute, little wood boxes that matched our table perfectly. Every holiday dinner party needs a little bit of candlelight, so I added a collection of candlesticks in various heights between the trees. The little wooden nutcrackers fit perfectly nestled in between the candles and the trees, and I’ve already found my two little boys sitting at the table playing with them a few times this week. It’s seeing those little moments where the magic of Christmas comes alive for them that makes the holidays so special to me… creating memories they will cherish forever. So naturally, the simple, unadorned nutcrackers have become my favorite part of this entire table setting.
On the wall behind our table, I added two beautiful wreaths that hopped into my cart at HomeGoods. The little wooden rosettes add so much texture to the plain white wall and create such a pretty focal point in the dining room. I grabbed an old window frame and rested it on top of our board and batten trim between the two wreaths. I hung two of our stockings and a couple vintage Christmas cards on the frame. Simple, sweet, and just the right amount of Christmas cheer.

I adore those candlesticks!
Absolutely breathtaking!!!!!!! We celebrate at home!! ❤️
Your blog is wonderful! What a beautiful home you have! I dream to have my very own farmhouse ….one of these days! 🙂 My family celebrates Christmas at home and also travels to a neighboring state to join our extended family!

We always host but hope to celebrate with our family across the pond sometime in the next few years!
I host the holidays. You gave me some awesome ideas. Just beautiful
We have hosted family in the past but this year we are visiting all of our family.
We travel on other days before and after Christmas and stay home on Christmas with just the immediate family.
This year my daughter and I want to have a “silver and white” Christmas. So…I am hoping to find silver items for our mantel and some white accents to go along with the theme. I always seem to find something great at HomeGoods!
I’m loving those wreaths!
Thank you. I love Home Goods and would enjoy the chance to win.
We are usually at home for the holidays with family around us! Just the way we like it.
Oh my gosh, I love those trees! I am going to Home Goods to get me a couple! In fact, not far from my office they are opening a new Home Goods–this is not going to be good for my wallet! Lunchtime shopping!!
I love all your Home Goods finds and your table is so lovely!!
Your table is beautiful! I host so I would love to add some of those elements to my home! Thank you!
Beautiful job! Thanks so much for sharing. We usually go back to WV for the holidays so I leave the decorating to my mom….LOL Someday, my time will come!
Christmas is always home with the family, but we are off traveling the day after.
With little ones it’s really nice to celebrate at home and create our own traditions. 🙂
We host Christmas Eve! Awesome giveaway… love HomeGoods.
So simple and pretty and I love that this isn’t all red and green which are not my fav colors. Nice to see more toned down neutral holiday decor. Really lovely!
We usually go to my parents’ home, but we will probably do Thanksgiving in Indiana. I hope we can go to NC for Christmas though. I love your farmhouse style. Thank you for posting this.
always celebrate at home!
We always celebrate at home! Family, cooking, grown Grandkids, all my favorite things! I read your blog and dream! Enjoy your Holidays and your family! Thanks for the chances!
Love the neutral/wood tone Nutcrackers!
I love that we get to stay home for the holidays – my parents are in town and we spend Christmas Eve with them at their house – then we get to spend Christmas Day at home in our pj’s!!!
Beautiful !!
Depends on if my police officer husband works. If he works, I host so he can come home. If he doesn’t – we travel.
I usually host
I love the nutcrackers on the farm table. So darling!
Such great ideas and such beautiful things to look at in each picture!
Such a beautiful space! I love the little nutcrackers ❤️
I love the softness that your tablescape invokes. The lantern hanging in your dining room is so pretty. Is it from Hobby Lobby this year? Thanks for your Homegoods inspiration. It is one of my favorite go-to stores.
I always host our kids and grandkids in our home. Your dining room is lovely. If I am blessed to win the gift card one of the gorgeous wreaths would be the first thing in my cart!
For years we drove to family homes, one year having 5 Christmas celebrations! Fun but exhausting. For the last several years we have stayed home and I love having Christmas Eve at home so we can attend our own church service and Christmas Day in our home for obvious reasons. Any family member is welcome.
Your farmhouse is so inviting! We always travel to be with family at Christmas.
So soothing!
Love the dining room. I would love to use gift card for my son and daughter in law. They are newlyweds and moving into a new apartment in December. Thank you
Your table and table setting is beautiful!!! We just got a farmhouse table this past weekend along with 10 chairs because we host the holidays here at our home and our family seems to get bigger every year! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!!
I love those nutcrackers. They are so simple and go with everything! Your space looks so inviting!! Great job!
Beautiful!! We are hosting this year….you’ve given amazing inspiration!
We travel! Though I always wish we could spend some more time at home
This is the first time in 6 years I have been home for the holiday season. I need to go to Home goods and spiff up my decorations.
I have the biggest house and am the best cook in the family so everyone insists on coming to my house for the holidays. 🙂
The beautiful wood rosette wreaths are a beautiful compliment to the wooden candlesticks and frosted trees.
The wood rosette wreaths are a beautiful compliment to the wood candlesticks and the frosted trees. It’s all wonderfully calm and peaceful.
We stay home for the holidays, just visiting close by. Your table is lovely with a lot of texture and layers. Always enjoy your blog!
We are doing both, traveling some and hosting another:)
I love your beautiful home and your Christmas dining room – just lovely.
I LOVE your unpainted nutcrackers!
My grandkids are fascinated with nutcrackers and these are perfect for my home!
Everything is put together beautifully!
Christmas at our house and I love it! Thanks for the great ideas.
My husband and I host Christmas in our home, however with grown children and 5 grand-children, it usually means either the weekend before or after.
Love your home, and sense of style! I have been following your blog for a while now. Thank you for sharing!
We host and travel.
Love the double wreaths. Missed seeing those plates at home goods. Thanks for sharing.
We live in a 1870 farmhouse
We will be on the road for part of the holidays–looking at our calendars now and trying to plan. I love looking at your decorations and thinking about what I will put up for Christmas.
Absolutely beautiful! I picked up one of those wreaths a few weeks ago and now I know exactly what to do with it 🙂
I would love to win that gift card! As always Liz, your home is lovely. And I can’t wait for your new book! I pre-ordered it last week ?
I’m not familiar with a Home Goods store; none in my area. In looking at all the wonderful table settings on the tour it would certainly be the place to shop!
Most of the family live in the same city, so we usually travel from house to house.
I have a son who has always loved nutcrackers since he was little (now age 19) and saw a German one at my local Home goods-your home looks beautiful for the holidays- now enjoy it with your little ones!
Love your decorations! We currently go to my moms. Hopefully next year we can host!
It varies from year to year depending on where the military moves us. But when we are home we love to host other military friends who are without family nearby.
We alternate. I am hosting a dinner this year.
Just gorgeous and very inspiring. I love shopping at Home Goods. They offer a lot of fun and unique pieces. I would love to buy a new accent rug or chair. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us. Very inspiring.
We usually stay home…nice and simple and quiet. Just the way I like it!
Love your nutcrackers – really dresses up your table nicely!
We are having everyone at our house. We are right in the middle of everyone and have the most space, so it works well for everyone.
Your Christmas tablescape is beautiful. Love your dining room wall also. It just pulls everything together. Homes Goods is my go to store for the home. Thanks for the giveaway, I’d love to in!
Love being home for the holidays!
We live a long ways from our immediate family, so we usually invite another family with the same situation from our church home for a holiday dinner.
Your table setting is lovely!
It depends, we have done both! Though I haven’t hosted anything in about 2 years which has been a nice break 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win
Wow!!! This just got me so pumped for the holidays! I always host Christmas and am looking forward to it like crazy this year!
Everything looks lovely! Our whole family lives in the same city so we always go to my parent’s house….it definitely still feels like it did when I was a kid which is what I love about Christmas!
Your home is so beautiful! I especially love the bedroom all decorated for Christmas. Our family lives here locally, so we won’t be going to far! Have a Merry Christmas!
We always host for the holidays. It’s so much easier than traveling.
Love this table! It inspired me in decorating my table this year 🙂 wish I could attach a picture! Love the unfinished nutcrackers… I used some too!
