Deck The Tables With Delightful Decor, Fa La La La La, La La La La!

December 7, 2012

As you know, every designer brings their own unique style and personality to a project. 

And this truth is no more apparent than in the Holiday tabletops you're about to see.

Each tabletop you’re about to see was featured at the Holiday Tabletop Tour  at the Houston Design Center.

What a cute Santa corner created here in the MCA Systems showroom by Mickey Bufalini of Collaborative Design Group.

Mickey used the whole space, much like you would in your home. Fireplace mantel, tree, tabletop, and a cozy corner, and the Santa theme was repeated throughout the entire display.

Lovely!

BTW: I love how she left space for the lamp shade in the wall arrangement. I hate it when lamp shades block the art.

The Charles Ray showroom used a coastal theme for their table. Burlap is just ever so versatile!

How about some non-traditional color? Teri Pugh and Regina Gust designed this vignette in the Teri Pugh Studio showroom.

There's Teri, above, dressed in her color of the night! She painted that painting herself in the background.


 

Valerie Cook designed the table at Leisure Collections. It's ready for some fabulous outdoor entertaining.

At Bunch and Shoemaker, Deborah Elias and Bernardaud created a bold statement with some striking contrast of black, white and bright color. Oh, and I LOVE the lamps!

They found the fireplace just days before the event as a burnt orange relic, and they painted and installed it to create a warm ambience for the evening.

Designers are just thoughtful that way, you know? :-)

Micqui McGowan and Peggy McGowan created a lovely spot for dinner in the Kitchen and Bath Concepts showroom. Peggy found the antique spoons in Nice. Using your fancy things during the Holidays brings back such fond memories, doesn't it? ;-)

I wish I’d been able to get to all of the showrooms on this evening.

I’ll definitely be back next year...
