Good evening MWM family! In today’s video it’s my holiday tables cape. This look will not be for everyone. It's original, unique, and very cool (in my opinion). I loved mixing vintage, glam and modern within this look. I think it turned out beautiful for my space.
Hi guys and welcome back to my channel. If you are new, welcome. My name is Hannah and I'm the mom
with muscle and if you want to see how I decorated my tablescape for the holiday just keep on watching.
Again my name is Hannah and welcome to my YouTube channel. In today's video I'm showing you how I
decorated for the holiday season for my tablescape. I guarantee you it is a tablescape like you have
never seen before. I mixed vintage primitive pieces with a little bit of glam and a little
bit of modern so I'm super excited to show you in detail what it is that I did. But if you have not

to have you over at momwithmuscle. And also as a side note if I can link things everything will
be down in the description box. Without further ado let's get into this video. Alright you guys
and here is my tablescape for holiday 2021. I am so excited and so pleased with how it turned out.
It is not going to be a tablescape for everybody. It is very primitive, it's very antique, it doesn't
scream holiday and I'm I'm here for it. I'm super happy with how it turned out and when I tell you
it was 100% unintentional it was. Starting with these vessels. Now these vessels are actually
for sale. I purchased these vessels when I went up to my hidden place now for whatever reason.
These vessels just aren't popular. I think I purchased 20 of them and I think two or three
have sold so these are all for sale. But I was kind of rearranging things and I just put all
of them here on the dining tables as I was messing with other things and I like looked over and I was
like that's actually a moment like that is actually very cool. So me just kind of clustering them
together as I was moving things turned into my tablescape for the year. So starting with the
tablescape. So I ended up clustering 12 vessels together and then I took two different garlands
and I kind of wove them in and out of the vessels creating this centerpiece of the dining table.
Now within the centerpiece I added pine cones as a natural element as well as I added ornaments
that you will notice are trickled throughout my home. So I purchased the ornaments from Target
and they kind of came in a variety pack of different finishes. They came with bronze,
mercury glass, gold, a little bit of white, frosted white. So I brought those ornaments
in to kind of give it a holiday feel. Without the ornaments it could just be a basic type
centerpiece but bringing in those ornaments and bringing in those pine cones gave it that holiday
feel out of being overdone. Now I also added a ton of candlelight. Now I cannot stress this enough
even if you don't try to replicate this look for your holiday table, for any tablescape for that
matter, you cannot go wrong with too much candlelight. Candlelight is amazing. It sets a vibe,
it sets a mood, it just brings this like warm and coziness to any tablescape. So add as many candles
as you can to a tablescape, obviously within reason, but I added a couple different varieties
of candles here. So starting with the mercury glass, I brought in that kind of glam factor. I
brought in six different types of mercury glass votives, those are all from the world market,
as well as I brought in just basic votives, so just a basic candle in a glass container,
and then I also brought in my tapered candles in white in two different heights so it's giving
leverage, it's giving different heights, giving different dimensions from the vessels itself. Now
I had messed with doing a little bit taller of a table, a tapered candlestick, and to be honest
it was just taking away from the centerpiece. So I'm happy with these because they're still a
candlestick, but they're low enough that they're not competing with the vessels itself. Now since
this is such a moment, since the centerpiece has got a lot going on, which if you have been with
me for a while you will know that I definitely eat less is more when it comes to decorating,
so this is so much that I decided to kind of dumb down the place settings. I feel like if I
was to do the charger plate and the cha cheese and the this and that, it would almost clutter
this table too much to the point where it would just be overdone. So the actual place setting
itself is very minimal. Starting with the plate, now the white dinner plate is just a basic round
dinner plate from Crate & Barrel, the brushed bronze utensils are from Target, those I got
believe last year, and then all I did was I tied a linen cream napkin and I plucked some of the
little pine needles off of the garland and just stuck them within the napkin. So pulling in that
green so everything kind of goes, but keeping it very simplistic. Again, I didn't want to overdo
the actual table setting itself where it was competing with the centerpiece because obviously
the centerpiece is the moment. Now I'm happy with how it turned out because I think it goes with
this room. If you guys keep in mind, this table is very rustic. It is 100% solid wood, it's got the
split down the center. I didn't want to bring in something super glam or crazy crazy holiday because
it would just not feel authentic to the space. I have this incredible picture behind that's
massive, so I didn't want it to be competing with the room. I wanted it to be just an extension of
this room and I think it just, chef's kiss, is so beautiful. Now I know not everybody's going to be
able to do vintage Vestalstown, their dining table for the holiday season. I totally get that. This is
very very specific look, but you could take this idea of clustering things, whether that's
maybe bottle brush Christmas trees or a bunch of candles, using the concept of clustering things
together in mass quantities to kind of give you that grand look for your holiday tablescape. So
kind of keep that in mind when you're decorating for your table. Again, I know not everybody's
going to have vessels, vintage vessels like me, but taking the concept of clustering, maybe weaving
on a garland in between, having candlelight, and there you go. You've got it. So again, so happy
with how it turned out. I think it's beautiful. I love the look of it. It's simplistic, it's clean.
It's not simplistic. It's simplistic and it's not in the same sense, but I'm just so happy with it.
I can't wait to serve dinner here at this dining table for the holiday season. But yeah, that is it.
All right you guys, and that is it for today's video. I hope you enjoyed. I hope you got some
inspiration as always. I know these pieces are very, you know, unique and very limited. This is
not something that you can go to Target and pick up, so I totally understand that, but keep in
mind that you can recreate this tablescape using other items. But yeah, that is it. I love you,
and we will see you in my next video. Peace.
