I’ve been working on my Christmas tablescape. You’ve probable seen several of my post about a couple of the items that I’ve used on the table. Like the Christmas Floral Craft or the Gift Tag, well here’s the completed table.
Are you like me? Everytime I get a new Pottery Barn catalog, I just drool all over every page!
When I’m looking for inspiration, I try to keep in mind what items I already have.
I already had the dessert glasses and poinsettias, I bought the short tapers from Hobby Lobby. The table runner is from Pottery Barn, several years ago.
The salad plates are from Target (several years ago). I use them every year.
I experimented with another one of my table runners, also from Pottery Barn. I still don’t know which one I like best…maybe this one!
The candles lined up the middle of the table look great, I’m so glad I found that inspiration photo! Can you see my roadside rescue candles in the background! I love them!
Every salad plate is different, but they all look good with the casual white dinner plates.
I need to eat by candle light more often, love the glow!
Now for the big question, which runner would you use and which one copies PB the best?
This one?
Or this one?

December 15, 2011 at 11:05 pmLove this blog! I like the burlap runner…mainly because I just made one myself:) Also thrilled to see those plates – I have those from Target and keep llooking for more at goodwill. I had the white plates with the red rim that was sold with that series but somehow they all broke. Always love to see how something I have can be used! Also thanks for the comparison pics- I’m not good at taking a picture and coming up with my copycat version, but your pictures really let me see how you did it. Thanks!

Lisa @ A Room with A View says
December 6, 2011 at 12:40 amI think the black-and-white runner is a winner in terms of the copycat aspect. The other one looks wonderful, too. The effect is quite stunning with the candles. Great tablescapes!
Anna @ The Guiltless Life says

Layla says
December 5, 2011 at 10:33 amI seriously thought about making those little poinsettia arrangements when I saw that catalog too! LOL! 😀
Love your table, girlfriend…SO pretty!
Tiffini says
December 5, 2011 at 10:14 amOne dresses it up and the other down..more casual. BOTH equally pretty just
different. And Yes, drooling over PB:) Always look forward to a catalog in the
mail:) My favorite I think…is the candles and poinsettias:)

December 5, 2011 at 12:56 amLove this table setting.! Great runner, adorable china and your centerpieces are beautiful. Amazing all the inspiration the PB catalog give us. 🙂
Rosemary says
December 5, 2011 at 12:05 amGreat job Debbie. I like them both, but the burlap has a great organic feel.
Eileen says
December 4, 2011 at 11:00 pmThis is great. Isn’t this such a fun challenge? Iremember when you did the magazine cover refresh /restyle and I was blown away by it. Here you go with another fun creation! I like the burlap runner best. Either way this is an awesome copy cat! Love the pointsettas in the glass dishes.
Kitty says
December 4, 2011 at 10:14 pmI like the burlap one the best for a natural look. The black one looks classy, though. I guess it’s fun to use both!!
Savannah Granny says
December 4, 2011 at 9:56 pmBeauriful execution of the copy cat inspiration.. Love the flowers and candles down the center of the table. My vote goes for the burlap runner, just saying. Both are really pretty. Ginger
Kathleen says
December 4, 2011 at 9:48 pmYou did a great job! I am in the PB Outlet every week! I won’t pay what the regular store charges. 🙂
They both look good.
Social Couture says
December 4, 2011 at 8:40 pmI love a festive tablescape – both of these table settings are so fun! Thanks for the inspiration.
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
December 4, 2011 at 8:09 pmYou got that dead on, Debbie! I love that centerpiece going down the length of the table! What’s also great is that it’s low enough that you can see over it and small enough that maybe you can leave them on the table during your meal.
visiting from the Copycat party! : )
Barb says
December 4, 2011 at 7:36 pmI like both copies. I guess it just depends on the look you want…a little more formal or a little less formal

December 4, 2011 at 9:30 amBeautiful! I think the burlap copies PB the best because it’s neutral and has a more rustic feel. I love the burlap because it adds a more natural element to the table. You really can’t go wrong either way though!
Gina says
December 4, 2011 at 10:22 amGreat job on the copycat challenge! I like both runners, but maybe the burlap just a teeny bit more.
Diane@LongabergerLifestyle says
December 4, 2011 at 9:20 amOkay…you were just having toooo much fun!!! I love the black & white fabric…it really makes the red pop! Great copycat job!
Kathy says
December 4, 2011 at 10:00 amI think I like the black and white one best.
Tina says
December 4, 2011 at 9:54 amHi Debbie,
I love the look of both, but I’m really loving the the flowers and candles down the center. Very striking!
I’m soooo behind, but will take my time and enjoy things this week. : )
Enjoy your day!

December 4, 2011 at 8:44 amYou did an amazing job! I was actually contemplating this copy as well, but I chose a different one. I just love this party and all the creativity we will see today. I thank you for joining in. I think I may put my link up soon, I have a feeling there are some anxious peeps out there.
