The Holiday Home Parties for 2011 are kicking off on Monday and I’m getting ready for Layla’s tablescape party and couldn’t wait to share this beautiful breakfast table with y’all!
My friend, Ruby, has been decorating up a storm for Christmas this year and I’m getting to share it with all of you. Ruby and I have been friends well over 10 years and I have helped her decorate her house several times during those years. We have had a lot of fun and I treasure her friendship. She and her hubby, Bill, live in a beautiful brick home in Kennesaw, GA and she has plenty of space to decorate for Christmas.
I share her gorgeous new kitchen with you awhile back and also her master bedroom transformation. They are both beautiful!
Here’s Ruby! She’s a Southern girl to the bone too, originally from South Carolina.  I love her dearly!
Here are a couple of pretty pics from her kitchen, this beautiful red pottery piece piled high with glass ornaments is very festive.
Ruby is Mimi to two adorable little boys. She has 2 sons and each one has a son. She is loving this time of her life with those beautiful grandchildren. Her daughter-in-law made this for her birthday, isn’t it adorable?
Here’s a cute towel on the counter, it says Merry Christmas, Y’all!
So, today I’m sharing Ruby’s all decked out for Christmas festive breakfast table. She set her table with colors of the season: red, white and green and I know you’re going to love it.
I had a hard time getting the best pics, since there was so much sun coming in at the time. The first shot was taken at night, so I’m not loving that either, but I hope you enjoy these anyway.
Her centerpiece is a Lemon Cypress tree and she set the table with a white tablecloth to show off the extra pretties around the table.
I just love these red and white dishes that she has collected. And the red glasses are a great touch too.
Happy and joyous!
Those bronze reindeer add lots of sparkle and cheer too.
Salt and pepper snowman and present. How cute is all of this?
Burlap and bows, a great way to highlight a real plant on the table.
Lovely, lovely and oh so pretty.
Ruby sets a great table and is a wonderful hostess.
If you’re looking for some ways to add cheer to the Holiday season, this is the way to do it.
Ruby throws great parties too and now with her big kitchen, has plenty of room to entertain.
There is something so special about Christmas dishes at Holiday time.
And these are extra pretty. I will have to find out where she got them all.
Did you enjoy this little breakfast room tour at Ruby’s house?! I know you did, how could you not be inspired with all these great colors of the season.
Don’t forget to head over to Layla’s and link up to her party as soon as she puts up her post! I will be linking up as soon as I can.

I love the shot at night. It looked so cozy and inviting. I like a lot of windows and those 3 windows in the background are awesome. She has a beautiful home.

I was wondering if you happen to know details about those solid red dishes. I LOVE them and think they may be on my wish list. Thanks so much for any info you give me.

What a beautiful kitchen and tablescape! I’ve recently starting following your blog and look forward to all of your posts. I followed the link to your post on Ruby’s kitchen redo and fell in love with the pendant lights over her kitchen counter. They are just what I am looking for in our new home. Would you be able to share the brand/collection they are? I would really like to order them. Thanks so much!
